Oh What A Week...

Ok so this pictures has nothing to do with the post...I just think posts are more fun with a picture to go along! This is us when we went to Chicago in February to meet up with some of our Michigan buddies...what a good time!



Well we are officially "back to school" this week and it has been a tiring one for sure. I have been at school all week getting things ready for the kids to start coming. James spent the day there yesterday as well and was a GREAT help with getting the room ready...he even did bulliton boards and helped out in Melissa's room across the hall...don't think he is going to get into the building business anytime soon but atleast he wasn't the one who had to get the termites out of her room, oh boy!

We also went out last night and looked at some home sites and began to think about the possiblity of building a home instead of buying. It is really exciting to be able to think about watching the house go up and to be able to personalize our own home. It is definitely a tough decision but hopefully we will be able to pray about it and come up with the right answer. We will keep you posted on what happens with that! After our house hunt we went out and had a great dinner at Hops restaurant since we were dissapointed to find out that Johnny Carino's (where I had been begging James to take me for months) shut down a few weeks ago...guess it wasn't meant to be!

Also wanted to let everyone know that we have officially decided on doing a Jekyll Island wedding on the 4th of July in 2008. We were happy and surprised to find out that a wedding there is actually cheaper then in Knoxville! Feel free to check out the website for the island at
www.jekyllisland.com and click on the weddings link to see the church we are going to get married in, Faith Chapel!

Well I must run so I can get enough sleep to be able to keep up with our Kindergartners in the morning. We hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend and be sure to leave us some comments to let us know how all is going in your lives as well!

Yeah, thanks for the help, James! I don't think I had ever heard your JEG story--very sweet. :-)

I'm so excited about how things are moving right along for you guys. :-)
