Uncle Luke & Aunt Melissa

Luke and I were able to attend Eagle Point Church on Sunday for Lily's Baby Dedication. It was wonderful. Of course, we took our cameras. After church we were able to eat with Mr. Jerry and Mrs. Nancy, Carlie, and Christylee and Steve. I had my Lily fix for the day. She's too sweet!!! I love being an Aunt!

Camden Daffodil Festival

Friday at the Camden Daffodil Festival:

Luke and I went to the Camden Daffodil Festival last weekend. This is our 3rd time to go and it was a blast! The weather was perfect. We wore shorts and Capri's...and I was even in flip flops!!! That's a first since last summer! Friday we toured the Gardens and the cemetery. The flowers were in full bloom and smelled wonderful!The cemetery was great! One lady really reminded me of Grandma...I guess because my Grandma would have been 91 on that same day! We ate lunch at a church across the street from one of the gardens. That was a great lunch!!! We ate Friday night at Bentley's in Camden...the pasta was too good!

Saturday in Camden

Luke and I stayed at the Holiday Inn. After a great breakfast we were ready to tour the homes. We started with the Dietrick home. It was full of family history. The chairs at the dining room table were won by his great grandmother. She won them in a biscuit baking contest! We also toured the Maude Crawford home. She disappeared from Camden and no one knows what happened to her! The people that now own the home are a little strange...but it was a fun tour. The last home was the Nunnally home. That man had a TON of Civil War stuff....and arrow heads!

Jones Cemetery

Mom called us while we were eating lunch. She found a haunted cemetery in Camden she wanted us to look for. We finally found it! It's down a dirt road...of course. The story is that in the Civil War times this family locked their daughter in a hidden room of their house. They basically starved her. They buried her in Jones Cemetery (right across the street from the house!). The story goes she's in an unmarked grave and if you turn off you car in this cemetery it might not start again. They say you can hear groaning in the cemetery too! We turned off the car, it started again, and we didn't hear anything. But, I do have to say that house sure does give me the creeps! It was a fun time!

Midol???

I've had this crick (sp??) in my neck since Saturday morning. It's more like in my right shoulder blade. I've been using icy hot patches until I cannot take the smell anymore!!! Yesterday I remembered a friend of ours saying that she takes Midol for cricks. I thought to myself, well it couldn't hurt! I took some yesterday and it really did help. It's a lot better...meaning I can now see things on my right side. It's now at the base of my neck so hopefully it is really working its way out! I'll have more to post later, Luke and I are going to the Camden Daffodil Festival tomorrow...I'm SO looking forward to this!

Baby Dedication Video

I told Christylee I would make the Baby Dedication Video for their church service next Sunday Morning. I was able to completely finish it today. I may be a little biased but I think it turned out wonderful!!

I really love doing special things for Chrusty. We have been best friends for years and even had our ups and downs, but there is absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for her. This is just a small way I can show her and Lily how much they mean to me. The special thing about this slide show for me is the verse Psalms 17:8 (right before Lily's pictures). Mom would make Chris and I recite that for years in the car on the way to school. I never realized at the time how much that verse would mean to me...but I do now. Thanks Mom for taking the time to teach us many new things!

Hopefully Christylee and Carlie (her sister) will like this! Enjoy! P.S. You might need tissues!

Happy Birthday Chris!

Birthday boy!
We celebrated Chris's birthday on Friday night at Mom and Dads. Mom fixed grilled pork chops, shrimp, baked potatoes, green beans, corn on the cob, bread, and pineapple cake for dessert. It was SO good. That's the first real meal I could eat..and I couldn't get enough of it! We played Guitar Hero later which was a lot of fun. Excuse the pics of me...I look like I'm miserable or mad, but really I couldn't get my mouth open enough to smile. Oh well! Happy 26th Birthday Christopher!

Lily's Photo Shoot

Welcome Back to Blog World!

Man, last week was rough to say the least!!! Tuesday, the surgery went fine, but Tuesday night I didn't sleep a wink. I was able to get caught up on all my food network shows though, so it wasn't a complete waste! Wednesday I slept all day long off and on. Thursday...I was still a little slow and slept on and off. Friday, Luke and I were able to go celebrate my brother's 26th birthday at Mom and Dad's. We were even able to play a little Guitar Hero...always good for a fun time! Yesterday, I was still in a little bit of pain, but Luke and I were able to go out to eat and go to Lowe's to look and dream of home improvements. We are totally happy with our house, but would like small things like new counter tops and laminate in the living room. We shall see! I was even able to do a photo shoot of Lily yesterday afternoon and even got to visit Mark and Amber's new puppy! So all in all, I'm back and feeling pretty good. Sore, but no pain thank the Lord!!! He is good! Thanks for all your prayers! I'll be uploading some new pics soon!
