Well, I haven't posted in a while, so here you go! Kevin and I had so much fun in Florida! Once we got back home though, the fall weather seemed very cold. I was ready to see the changing leaves though, which was nice!
Last weekend I was very honored to do the flowers for Stephen and Abby's wedding. I'm so excited for them! This weekend I have another wedding to make arrangements for, but it is much smaller. A widow and a widower at church are getting married. It's very cute and sweet. It'll be a small wedding though so the flowers should be pretty easy.
Other than that, we've just been up to the usual, painting and deciding what we want to do with the house. I'm starting to look forward to the Christmas season: decorating, shopping, and coming up with a Christmas card. It will be here soon!
What's new with you? Hope you have a beautiful week :)
It was great to see you & kevin last week. Thanks for making the drive!! Guess what was in our mail when we got home....the birth annoucement I had sent to you:) I'll send it to the correct address this time!!
Well, I figured I should update, but there's not much new going on. We've been working on the house some more and trying to get finished painting. We bought a big house, which I absolutely love, but it's taking a while to paint everything. Last weekend we finished the guest room which I'm very pleased with. So, if anyone wants to visit us - we've got a room for you! This week I'm painting some more trim in the kitchen area and some doors.
Kevin has another conference next week. This time it is in Orlando! I'm very excited about it, because we are planning on going to Disney World and some other fun places. Combining his work and our vacations is very convenient and saves us a lot of money! We also hope to head out to Tampa one day and try to catch up with some old friends.
This weekend my family is having dinner at my parents' house for my birthday! Mom is making my favorite food, yeah! Well, that's about all that's going on here. What's up with you?
Do you have any advice on where to buy a house? We are considering both Hopkinsville and Clarksville. It will depend on where we decide to worship. Any advice would be appreciated. We are completely unfamiliar with the area. I want to be in a safe/nice area of town and that can be hard to know from a first impression.
Btw, do you know if Kevin has a some baseball card pages he doesn't use anymore or does he use most all of them? If he has extras, I was going to see if I could use a few, but if he doesn't, I'll just go out and get some packs at Wal-Mart.
I can't WAIT for the kittens. I love cats. However, I did resolve that I would never have another one after I married Mr. Allergic to cats. He was very open to the idea of an outside cat, so now I'm all excited. See you tomorrow at 3:00!
Well, I'm back home from DC. We had a lot of fun and were able to see a lot of stuff, even though he had to work some. I was able to go on the tour of the Pentagon with all the military people at Kevin's conference. That was cool. We were exhausted everyday though from walking so much, but it was worth it.
A side note: if anyone decides to take small children to a war memorial or to tour the Federal buildings, please inform them that it is not a playground! Okay, that's all I'll say about that.
Our trip home was a little hectic. We were going to get a few hours down the road on Saturday night and then finish the drive between worship today. Well, Kevin's guard unit was activated to go to Louisiana to be security after hurricane Gustav finishes whatever destruction he's going to do. So he drove all night and we got home about 3 this morning. We slept a few hours and then I helped him get his stuff together before he left for Glasgow to meet up with his unit. I just wanted to let our friends know so you all could keep him in your prayers. He'll be gone somewhere between 2 weeks and a month.
Anyway, if I figure out how to post pictures sometime soon, I'll provide some sights of our trip. Have a wonderful week!

Well, I was reading up on some blogs while I was online and thought I would contribute. We got into Alexandria this morning at about 11 and checked into the hotel. Then we hopped on a train to DC! We went to Arlington National Cemetary and watched the Changing of the Guard; always impressive. Then we walked all over to see the major monuments and memorials along the National Mall. Tomorrow night we plan to take a tour to see them at night plus a few we missed.
I will be doing a few things on my own during the next few days while Kev is hard at work in a conference. We'll get to do some more stuff later this week.
I must say, I love public transportation in cities that I don't know very well. It's cheaper than a cab and I don't have to drive and park in areas where I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'll keep you updated. (I'm sure everybody is so interested in our vacation :) That's just what's going on now.
Washington DC is somewhere Josh and I have both talked about wanting to see. I'm so glad you could go with him up there! Have lots of fun and take lots of pictures!
So Kevin and I are off to see the capitol tomorrow. He has a conference in D.C. this week and I get to go with him! Yeah! We plan to drive during the day on Sunday between worship, maybe stay somewhere along the way and get to Alexandria, VA on Monday morning. I'm so excited! Well, not about the 12 hour drive, but the cool trip part. I at least get to sleep and read on the way, poor Kev has to do the actual driving. (I don't refuse to drive, Kevin just prefers to be in control of the vehicle.)
