Our house looks quite different now that my parents visited to help us do some remodelling and painting. We painted the kitchen, dining room and living room. Also, in the dining room we put up beautiful pine panelling. Click on the picture to enjoy a bunch more new photos.

This is a picture of all the girls in the bridal party. Jess the bride was my co elementary ed friend, then Amy the one with the dark short hair on the left served with me on extension and then finally Dawn the girl on the bottom right is my best friend from college. But most of all fun was that Jess, Amy and I were all in Dawn's wedding so it was a great summer reunion for the 4 of us. Praying that next summer we shall meet again.

Well this may have been the last long trip of the summer. Long trip being defined as 6 or more hours. This was a beautiful overlook on a mountainous virginia road. We're pretty sick of being in the car, but scenery like this at least makes it bearable.

Today is Michelle's birthday. Happy Birthday, Michelle! I had fun shopping for her. I got flowers, a balloon, cute socks, a music CD, and more. But the most significant gift was Sadie! Sadie is a 3-month old bloodhound/doberman mix and is very mild-tempered but fun. Click on the photo to see more pictures.

Crafts in the new house

Well we're all moved in ... at least our stuff is here but I'm sure we'll be unpacking for a while! Michelle didn't waste any time before she started doing crafts again. Melinda's wedding is coming up quick, and Michelle's making the candleholders that the bridesmaids will carry down the aisle. They're looking pretty cool, click the photo to check them out!

We went down to South Carolina for Melinda's bridal shower. We had a wonderful time and some of Michelle's family came all the way down for a visit. I got to see some old friends as well. Click on picture to see some funny bridal shower photos.
