Needmore

Brandon's Papaw lives on Needmore, which means that it takes a long time to get to his house. :) It also means that in order for us to get to his house, we must go on a curvy, gravel, one-car wide road that follows the river with zero guardrails. It's scary in the summer time, much less in the winter when snow and ice are a relevant concern. Therefore, this winter, we didn't go down very often at all for a visit. So when the weather cleared up we all loaded up and went for a visit. Somehow, I didn't get any pictures of his papaw... weird.

Gazebo Date

A Spring Date with Brandon & Lucas was in store at the Gazebo one Saturday afternoon. It was among the first really nice Saturdays of Spring and we were all three ready to get out and enjoy the sunshine. So the Gazebo was the place to go!

While we were waiting on our food, Lucas & I entertained ourselves by taking pictures with my phone.

This is the sweetest picture

The boy that was too cool to have fun taking pictures. :)

Spring Time - The Season of Baseball

This year, Lucas is playing tball. This is his first year and I'm not sure who is more excited him or me.... (just to give rest to curious minds.... I AM.... by far) I do however think he really enjoys playing although it may be difficult to see his excitiement when he is playing in the dirt or picking clover out on the field, but what's that matter? Here are a couple pictures of us practicing in the yard. Which "practicing" to Lucas means you pitching the ball so he can hit it and NEVER having to catch or throw himself.

Accidental Hiatus

2 words for you: accidental hiatus. I have so much to share and to blog about. I sat down about two weeks ago to try to catch up, but ran into a little snag. I was looking for my card reader and my camera card so I could post pictures, when Brandon brought it to me. The reason why I couldn't find either of these things was because they were in the pocket of my jeans, which were in the WASHING MACHINE! Thankfully, the camera card still read perfectly in my camera, which was my main concern. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about the card reader. :( Still I have not gotten another card reader, but it is most definitely on my to-do list. Until then, we are doing well, busy as always, and way behind on blogging. In case we actually have regular readers, this is just a friendly notification that the hiatus will soon be over. :) Happy Wednesday!

Michael W. Smith & Amy Grant

February 18th, Michael W. Smith & Amy Grant were in concert at the Smoky Mtn. Center of the Performing Arts.

Most definitely there was a hype buzzing all around the theatre, however, there was a personal excitement too. I was working the ticket part of the show, but I was also going to get to watch the show by joining a group of friends.

We had a great time. The concert was amazing! I enjoyed every single minute.

Again, my camera was, I don't know where and I only had my phone, however, it worked.

Not pictured: Brooke. I'm not really sure where she was when I took these.

Catch Up & Sunshine

The last several weeks have absolutely flown by! It seems as though February and March have completely passed by without being noticed. I am doing my best to get caught up on all that has happened within the last couple of months. Thankfully, I take pictures with my phone, reminding me of all that I need to blog about.

So this post is an attempt to get back on track.

Towards the end of February, Sunday afternoon was spent at Brandon's parents' house along with his siblings and their families. The weather was great and we all took advantage of it and spent as much time as we could out in the sunshine.

Sandy had to fix her pond and Brandon and Chloe got the privilege of returning the fish back to their happy home. The great weather urged me to take pictures of our excitement in the sun.

Bedroom Makeover

Over a month ago, Brandon and I decided to paint our bedroom. We had been talking about doing this since we moved into our apartment 3 1/2 years ago but never had. So on the one Saturday that we had no plans at all, we decided it was the perfect day to paint? Why do we do this to ourselves? We long for a day with NO PLANS and we decide to paint? Whatever. Anyhow, I was so pleased with the results.
