9 Years and Counting...

Once upon a time, there was a girl who worked at Sam's Club. 
 She decided that she wanted to get out of Tyler and move to Nashville to work in the music
 business.  So, she did. 

During the 8 years she was gone, there was a boy named Danny who decided to work at
 Sam's Club. 

 The girl loved living in the big city and she sowed many oats and did everything cool thing that
 she wanted to do. 
 Luckily, the boy was in Tyler sowing his oats as well. 
Then, in October of 1999, the girl decided she'd sown all she could and she wanted to move
 back home.  When she got back, she worked at Sam's.
 Then, one day, the boy and the girl met. 
 Fireworks.



  The following September, the boy got down on one knee and asked the girl for her hand in
 marriage. 
She said yes.  
On February 24th, 2001 they were husband and wife.
  And now 4 dogs , 1 cat and 3 kids later,  they are living happily ever after. 

 Happy Anniversary Boy! 

Love, the girl

Our First REAL Snow Day



FINALLY!  A real, live snow day!  The forecast earlier this week said we'd have a chance for snow/mix on Thursday and it actually happened!  If only we'd believed it we could have been prepared!  The flimsy little gloves we have did not last long.  It was fun though.  We've had snowball fights and built a snowman, made snow angels and Danny just made a batch of snow ice cream.  I love the snow.  I don't necessarily want to live where there is snow all winter but the best feeling is waking up and jumping to the window to see if it really did snow.  It was 6 years ago when we built our last snowman.  Jordan was almost 2 and Maggie was a baby.  9 years ago Danny and I built our first snowman.  Hopefully, we'll get to build another one before the kids get too big.  Anyway, we enjoyed being out of school and Dad being home from work and when the day comes that we have to make it up at school we'll all groan and wish we could stay home, forgetting how fun today was.  Maybe not...
