Happy Belated Valentines Day

Better late than never, right?!?!


Lamar and I hada pretty low-key Valentine's Day. I've never been a huge fan of the holiday, but hey it's a reason to get all dressed up and go have a good time. This actually was a great day for the two of us and Brek. Here's how it all went down:

• Breakfast in bed, made by Lamar



• Took Brek to the dog park



• Brek learned that he could swim and LOVED it



• Showered and got all dressed up

• Went to Spindini for dinner (a little uncomfortable because of the seating situation, sorry I don't have pictures)



• Went to the FedExForum for Motorcross

This was my first ever Motorcross event. I was little (read: a lot) nervous during the beginning. (Lamar told me I was acting like his grandmother). But after a few jumps I actually got a little into the whole thing. I think the most amazing portion of the entire show, was the 10 time National Trial Champion came out and did some pretty impressive stuff. Here is a video just to prove to you how talented this guy is. The bike he uses has no seat, because they are not supposed to sit down. The guys feet will never touch the ground the entire time he is on his bike performing. He can go from a complete stop and climb up a four foot wall and then turn around and never put his feet down. AMAZING!!! This guy has incredible balance and skill.

Snow in Memphis

Well this has been a long time coming, but it did snow in Memphis back in January. Lamar just happened to be off work and was able to take some pictures of our little one and his first time in the snow. He was a bit scared in the beginning, then a little curious, then a lot playful, then decided he would pose for the camera.

After a hard day at work and a hard day at play in the snow, Brek and I decided it was a good idea to stay inside where it was warm and fall asleep on the couch.

I don't have any great pictures to show his size difference, but our little man is getting pretty big. When we first got him at 7 weeks he was 15 pounds. Now at 4 months, he is a whopping 45 pounds and growing.

He has a job!!

Well, the good news I posted about yesterday came through and Lamar is no longer unemployed come Monday morning. We were very excited when his previous company called him back and told him they had a new project that they would like him to come back and work on.

I know I have said this a million times, but I want to thank all of you for prayers and help during this time. It was definitely not easy at times, but we have made it through. We are very excited to know we don't have to move and are able to stay around our "family of friends".

We love you all!

Good News is definitely a possibility

We could possibly have some good news to share with everyone. I'll keep you updated.

In other words, two posts in one day; I think I'm setting a record :)

Thanks again for all of your prayers!!

Round Two

It has been awhile since my last post, but honestly nothing much has changed.

Lamar is still job searching, but has two interviews this week. Unfortunately they are not in the Memphis area, but we will have to make do wherever he gets a job. He has one interview in Vicksburg, MS and the other is in Hattiesburg. Although we (read: he) would love to move to Hattiesburg to be close to his family, we don't want to move from Memphis. This is where our life is at the moment.

We are in that stage of life where we just want to start "growing" our roots. I want to move somehwere and be there for a while. We are both tired of moving and want to just finally call someplace "Home."

Thank you all for your prayers during this time in our lives.
