First of all - I am an aunt again! My brother just had his 3rd child - Hayden Cade! I'm not a good enough aunt to take pictures, sorry. but he is adorable.

This week at church we have had Vacation Bible School! My sister, Amber, and I have been working with 1st and 2nd graders. For those who know me, these are like babies to me. I am usually more comfortable with older kids. However, I have learned to love these kids! They are so innocent and so sweet! I wish had pictures of these sweet children!

Today's story was about the crucifixion and the resurrection. So as I was telling the story, I asked a question about something. This sweet little girl said, "Well, He just had to raise from the dead and that's all." It was so sweet! To hear these young children tell how simple, yet how powerful the story of the cross and the empty tomb!

Also this week, Justin and I are headed to Starkville for the weekend. I will be helping Meg with a wedding and Justin is taking the weekend off. It is going to be lots of fun to hang out with Meg and Hunter and have dinner together!

Our weekends are full for the next few, as usual. There is always something going on!
This weekend, we are going to Starkville
June 26th - Shake and Share Celebration for Ladies in our Church
July 4th weekend - Camping with Bubba
July 11th - Sunday School Fellowship

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
