Happy Birthday to ME!!!

I have to say that Buddy and the girls out did theirselves this year.
Buddy had flowers delivered! They also got a Dairy Queen ice cream cake (MY FAV), a beautiful cross pendant, & a gorgeous pair of earrings! We finished the day with dinner at Outback. It was the best birthday ever! Thank you Buddy, Mae, & Maddie for an awesome day!!! I love y'all!!!

Just "trucking along"...

No breaking news around here lately. Just making it day by day. The girls are getting ready for competition season. They are really excited about it!!! Mae will be competing a solo in addition to their group numbers. She's really excited. M&M will soon start working on a tap duet for the recital. So, we are just "trucking along" here in Charleston.

Kisses from Katie...

A friend recommended a book to me to read.  I thought, sure, whatever.  Little did I know how this book would make me smile, cry, pray, and change a piece of me forever.  If you are looking for a good book, story, and inspiration, please take the time to read this one.  One young girl is making a difference in our world, and oh the respect, admiration, and love I feel for her~and I have never even met her!  Makes you stop....think....and re-evaluate what is really important.

First Snow in WV....2012

Our first snow started falling here in WV yesterday.  It's so pretty, and we are all like little kids watching it fall.  The schools are out today!  The high is only 21, and it has snowed off and on all day.  It's been so much fun making memories in our new home.  Wish Buddy didn't have to work, and could be here with us.  Even the dogs ran around like they were enjoying it.  None of us have ever seen this much fluffy snow.  This would have shut down the entire state of AL!!!

 This could end bad....

Happy 2012!!!

Happy New Year!!!  Well, we have been through a few adventures in the last several months.  5 months ago today, we arrived in Charleston, WV ready for the journey of a lifetime.  Wow...it's been amazing!  We couldn't be more happy here.  We are so blessed to have found such a wonderful home, and absolutely incredible friends.  Buddy likes his new job...so far, so good!  The girls have found a great dance studio, and dance family.  RMProductions has welcomed us with open arms.  They have helped so much with the transition for the girls.  Everything seems to be falling into place!  Now that we are more settled, and over this 600 mile move....we can update everyone with all of our adventures!  This should be interesting.  Hope everyone has a fabulous 2012!!!




Our "moving crew"!  Truck unloaded!!!  That's when the real fun began...
