A Emrie Story.

we are in dallas, swimming in the hotel pool and there is a 7 or 8 year old little african american boy in the pool with us. so the whole time we are there Emrie is keeping to her self playing and swimming with us. we get out and are walking out the door, and she turns around looks at the boy, and says "BYE COUSIN." i guess in her head all Black boys are now her cousins. she is so FUNNY!!!!

living Country

We are all settled into my moms house, and its really not that bad. we are looking forward to the next year of life. we have been very excited for things to get started and that is just what we have been doing. We are feeling confident that this is possible and things are going to happen. we started the dirt work and the concrete is on its way next week. after that we will be setting for 3 or 4 weeks, but things are happening. Lendall is working hard all the time, so me and Em are just enjoying the summer. she is getting very Big, Smart, and full of life. she is very into everything for about 12 minuets and then its something new. its like every moment is one to remember , she is simply wonderful. we hope all is well with everyone and enjoying the hott summer.

New day = New stress.

we are approaching our big closing day on our house. we are nervous, scared, and excited all at once. things are a lot stressful right now. i bet my blood pressure is no Buena. but we are staying strong. Emrie is not a fan of moving, she is very cling, and wants to go to HER house all the time. which normally i would love, but since my house is a utter mess with amazing amounts of clutter, it is not my comfort or favorite place right now.

so things are slow going on Hays HOuse 10. we are on hold for 3 weeks on most everything. so for now we wait, we wait and wait some more. if you know me very well, you know i hate to WAIT. i like to do things on my schedule. so for me this has been and will be very trying for me. so wish me luck and let me know when you want to build a house, i will be a pro.

Sold

our Home this was the summer of 2008.

all the wonderful holidays spent here with lots of family and friends.
daddy and his little helper mowin the grass.
this was the day we brought emrie home from the hospital, and she had a nice sun bath.

well lots of Huge changes are happening in our life. we have been getting to love on and hang with our favorite little baby cousin Tucker quite a bit. and he is so much fun to love and hold. being around him sure has made my uterus want a baby in it. my mothers day present this year was a trip to the doctor to try to have another baby. we will see.

next big thing is, our 1st home here at 708 w main, sold today. its kinda a wired and strange feeling. we have lived our whole married life here. its our home, and now it will have others living in it. i know that is the natural process, but still very strange feelings come with it. we are closing on June 11th, so we need to figure out what our next move is from here. and so thats all a bit crazy to think about.

here are some very good memories we will always have at 708.
