Update....Prayers needed!
So many things are going on right now with our family and friends.
Please add Garrett Jones, his family, his wife's family, his doctors, and nurses to your prayers. He is part of our family. Garrett is in ICU fighting for his life since the tornadoes April 27th. His wife, Jennifer, and their bull dog, did not make it. He has overcome so many hurdles, but has a long way to go. It seems for every baby step forward, we have 2 steps back. I have added "Prayers for Garrett Jones" to my blog list, and invite everyone to read his story, and everything he has been through to this point. He needs all prayer warriors to rally around him, and his entire family right now. Pray God's will, will be done whether Garrett goes to his heavenly home with Jennifer...or his earthly home to heal with his parents.
To add to the emotion of the last month, Buddy has gotten a job promotion! Very well deserved.... No one is more proud of him than the girls and me. There is no one that can take this position, and make such positive change the way he can. His brain was built for this job. The position will relocate us to WV. So, we will have many decisions to make regarding how, when, and where we end up. Prayers for God to lead us in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! The girls are adjusting well, and I know this is the path we are supposed to take. We are just looking for clarity with the details.
Ok, now to brag on my babies. Meagan had her awards day. She was one, of only 38 in the entire school, that made all A's throughout the school year. They were rewarded with a trip to the zoo. She loved it and had a really good time. She also received awards in Art and Creative Expressions classes. My little Maddie graduated from the 5th grade! No more elementary school for us.....they are growing up too fast!!! Maddie received awards for making A's & B's for the year, and an award for "most improved". We could not be more proud of M&M for all of their accomplishments this year. They are such smart and sweet young ladies. They make being a parent easy! It feels like just yesterday that they were starting kindergarten!
Another bragging moment! Steph has graduated nursing school!!!!! We went to MS to see her walk across the stage. I can't lie, I cried. She has been through so much, and has not ever given up. She also took the state boards last week, and found out that SHE PASSED! "Go Teppy!!!!!! We love you so much, and are so thrilled for you. You get to finally start this new chapter in your life." Please also say a prayer for her. As many of you know, Steph has had neck and back pain practically the entire time she has been in school. She saw a specialist in Memphis last week. She has a ruptured disc, and surgery is her only option. She is excited about the procedure, because finally after all of these years, she will hopefully have pain relief. She has an awesome surgeon, and pray that there will be no complications, and Steph will feel new again.
More bragging........our niece, Carsyn, graduated from high school last week. We could not be more proud of her! She has had so many obstacles this past year, and she keeps her head held high and pushes through. We love you Carsyn, and could not be more PROUD! And yes, I cried there too!!!
We had a fun, quiet Memorial Day! Bryan and our precious nephew Kalyn came over. We had a great time just sitting and talking AND EATING!!!! It was so good to spend time with them. I can't believe that Kalyn will be in high school next year! Really, where does the time go?
So, I guess the consensis of this post is to PRAY! There so many things going on with so many special people in our lives... We know God is the only one who will see us through all of it!

Hello!
Ok, so I'm behind, what's new? We have been so busy the last few months. Hopefully we have a handle on everything now. The girls had another competition last weekend in ATL. They did AWESOME! Congratulations to all the M.A.D. dancers on receiveing High Silver rating, judges "Outstanding Energy" award, and Top Score Junior Musical Theater Group award. GREAT JOB! The last one is coming up, and recital is right around the corner. I can't believe M&M only have about a month and a half left of school. Both of my babies will be in middle school. How does that happen? I can't be more proud of the girls with everything they have accomplished this year with school and dance. They are such sweet and well rounded girls! We love you M&M!!!
Well, the Taurus finally had enough. Maddie and I ran to the store last week, and it did not cooperate. I just knew we would break down in the mile long bank drive thru line. Luckily we made it home. It was a stressful trip. So, we decided to try our chances with trading it...JACKPOT! Finally not upside down! We are now the proud owners of Toyota Camry! I am in LOVE! (and it's only been 2 days, lol). And, thanks to a dear friend, I have upgraded my monogramming machine. It is like a dream. I think it may be smarter than me. I'm so glad I took the plunge! Buddy won't know what to do with not having me complain so much about everything! LOL. Wow! A new "brother" and car in the same week, this is like Christmas~ well, will probably be for the next several years. I am OK with that!
Meagan says this is her key!!! Um, I don't think so... lol
The trunk fit's approximately 4.5 children! Only these four would crawl in the trunk! I love these babies!

Busy Weekend...
M&M had their 2nd dance competition this weekend. They did so good! We are so proud of all that the M.A.D. Dancers have accomplished already this year. They won Top First Place in their category, Musical Theater, 2nd Overall in their division-small group, Special Judges award called "Clever and Cute", and they were chosen as All Stars-which includes an invitation to a competition/workshop in NY. Proud does not even begin to describe how we feel! Great job M&M! They totally ROCKED it!
Here are a few pics:
