Out with the old, In with the new!




An answer to prayer....we sold our house in two weeks!!! As excited as we are, there is also a little sadness to leave the house that Seth and I first bought together the year we got married, the house we brought both of our baby girls home to, and most all the house that has some of the best neighbors in the whole world. We are gearing up to make the new house our home and create memories there as well. Please keep us in your prayers as we plan to proceed with finding a baby through adoption in the new year.

Wine Tasting...


We finally got to go enjoy Ang's birthday gift at Vino100 for a wine tasting night....her birthday was in June :). It was tons of fun and my sister even made into town to come with us!!!! I never knew tasting wine was quite so serious....

The Nutcracker Tea






So fun to start to get into the Christmas spirit. I took the girls to our first Mother/Daughter tea and they loved it!!!! We really enjoyed getting dressed up, watching the Nutcracker pieces, and making hot tea!!! Looking forward to many more of these with my girls in the years to come.

Orange Belt




Jadyn has made us proud....she broke another board and graduated to an orange belt!!!

The Turkey Tango




The girls had their Thanksgiving recital last week....how sweet!!! I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving....We all decided to say a few things we are most thankful for:

Jadyn's list...my mommy, daddy, my sissy, Hayden, Audra, Zoi, and Brendan.

Cady's list...my family, Karli, Brittany, Mr.Tray, Mrs. Taye, Moses, and Milan, Karson, and Kameron

Seth's list....family, God's guidance....in our finances and our new home!

My list...my husband, children and all family, friends, my new small group, my job, our new house, our spiritual growth as a family, my health, and just the joy of being able to see God in little things everyday!!!

I am 33!!!


What an amazing birthday - I already knew I had amazing friends and family, but they really made me feel SUPER special this year. Seth likes to point out I have more like a birth"month", than a birthday :) My girls made me a pretend birthday cake and we celebrated with Uncle Rodney before he left town. My office staff, more like friends, created a fantastic day for me at work. We had breakfast catered by The Black Walnut and lunch catered by Pappadeaux's. They decorated my office and gave me some very heartwarming gifts and cards. Then Seth took me out with the girls and grandmama and pappaw to a nice dinner and off to the movies to see Madagascar 2. Well, Seth and I had our celebration this last weekend at the Melting Pot....last night was a girl's night celebration for our friends with November birthdays,and tomorrow night is another girl's night out :). Gotta love friends....Really, I think I got more calls, texts, emails, visits, parties, etc than I can ever remember!!!! Thank you!

It's Official
