Long Time. . . No Post

By looking at the date of the last entry, it has almost been a year since I last posted anything. Guess I might need too. Since November of 2006, Craig and I have had our first wedding anniversary, added two new additions to our family, and are getting ready to break ground on our very own first house!

Bella is our first child. She is a golden retriever and was born March 8, 2006. Some of Bella's favorite things are crawling up in her daddy's lap and having her belly scratched. She also loves to eat ice cubes and grapes. Bella knows how to play fetch and really enjoys eating bones and rawhides! Bella's little sister Abby is a britteny spanial. Abby was born April 2006. Being the baby, Abby is always seeking attention and does everything she can to push her sister out of the way when mommy and daddy get home! Abby also likes ice cubes and grapes and managed to take Bella's bones and rawhides away and eat them as well as her own. She is a hyper dog and pretty small for her size. But don't let her size fool you, because her bark is big! Both girls love to take walks and they are both looking forward to moving into their new house at the beginning of the year. This means they will have their very own backyard with lots of room to play!

That's a little about our girls. Craig is still with Bodie's Furniture in Ruston, LA. He has recently returned from High Point, North Carolina where he and Bodie bought this years furniture. They got alot of really pretty things! If your in the market, stop. And if you want to browse through the internet world check out http://www.bodiesfurniture.com/. Thanks to Josh Vaughn out of Montgomery, AL Bodie's Furniture launched it's very first website September 2007. As for Bethany, I have been keeping my hygiene skills up to par while working part-time with Peach Tree Dental practice in Ruston. Along with that I randomly do temp work for other area dentists and of course spend lots of time working with the Children's Ministry at Cook Baptist. We have been teaching a 6th Grade Connect Group for a little over a year! Through this the Lord has blessed us with an amazing asortment of youngens' we like to call our own. He has also been molding us into becoming parents of our own! Starting a family is something we look to be our goal for 2008.

Sounds like things are going well. Check with your vet, but I don't think grapes are good for dogs.

Pretty dogs.

Sigma Nu is in bad trouble over a bunch of b.s. and Samford is trying to make scapegoats out of Spiderman, Sam, and Taylor when they did nothing wrong. It's pretty unfair. Just thought you would like to know.

Anyways, I hope all is well.

Aww, how fun! Yeah for possibly starting a family in 2008. I told Ryan as soon as he walks across the stage and graduates my BC pills can be thrown away...so that would be mid 2008 for us! Anyway, cute post. Love the comments about your babies!!! We want one of those as well. I think we have decided to wait for Ryan's graduation in May for that as well! So, we will have puppies, and I could be pregnant at that time as well, fun stuff. Well, actually the BC pills can be thrown out as soon as we have maternity on our ins plan!!! But I'm sure you know how that is! :o) Love ya, miss ya ~ Christy
