It was recently brought to my attention by my sister-in-law Summer that I have not blogged in forever. I couldn't even remember the last time I blogged, so I went and looked today. Wow!! It was over 2 months ago... oops! I don't really know an excuse other than I have been working and out of town a TON! Blake and I have been all over the place... We went to north Mississippi and Tampa for 2 job interviews and to Dallas for a friend's wedding! Here are a few pictures from those adventures.
This picture sums up the town in North Mississippi where Blake interviewed... Yes, that is a suspended 4 way stop sign. There was not even a stop light in the whole town!!
We went to Universal Studios in Orlando... it was SOOO fun!! Blake and I had never gone to any amusement park together before this trip, and we both love roller coasters. We realized after riding the Hulk (in the background) a few times that we aren't as young as we used to be. We were both so dizzy after our first time on it. It was still so fun... haha!!
We had a great time with Justin and Bayleigh in Dallas... can't wait for their wedding in December!!
Here we are with the beautiful bride, Amanda, and the handsome groom, Judd!! Judd and Blake were roommates through college and was around during all of our dating years. It was so great to be able to be there for this special day in their life. After you are married, weddings seem to mean to much more (at least they do to me)... I think it may be the fact that I now know what a huge commitment, blessing, challenge, and joy marriage truly is! By the way, Amanda, I am in need of a blog update from you too!! :)
My family came in town for the Auburn vs. Mississippi State game, and we had a great time with them!
It was a "True Blue" game so we all were dressed for the occasion!! War Eagle!
Well... that catches you up to this past weekend. This weekend, we went to Huntsville to visit the in-laws and we went to the Birmingham Zoo with the Thaxton/Watford crew! We had lots of fun with everyone... especially Tatum Tot! :)
Playing Peek-a-Boo with Uncle Blake! She LOVED it!
Pretty girl playing in her little house
Playing some more peek-a-boo with Aunt Katherine! She also tried to climb out of this window... it didn't work too well. haha!
Tatum Tot and Mommy... love the sun behind them!
The beginning of our zoo day!
Looking at some animals with Aunt Katherine! I love how tight she is holding on... melts my heart!
There is the big catch up... congrats if you made it to the end! In other news, Blake is still applying and interviewing for jobs all over the southeast. Please pray for us during this time as we wait to see what and where the Lord wants us to be to serve Him best. Pray He will open doors to make it clear to us where he wants us to be. We are eagerly awaiting His answer in His timing. This time of waiting is definitely not always easy, but the Lord is teaching me so much through this situation. So please join me in prayer, and hopefully I will have news about a JOB to blog about soon! :) I am still working as a labor and delivery nurse (which I LOVE!) with some amazing co-workers God has blessed me with. I will try to not let it be so long before my next blog post. Who knows... maybe I will blog again this week!! :)
