This past week... Monday, May 12, 2008

Has been full of fun and surprises! At the beginning of the week, we had the Tucker's staying with us for a few days. SO much fun to hang out and catch up. Their new little girl, Ana, is so precious and Gaines is getting so big! He says, "this is MY Chud" as he hugs my neck (I'm "Chud", for those of you who didn't know). It's a long story...



Then for my sister's Birthday, Erik and I stayed up way too late one night making cinnamon rolls for a family breakfast birthday celebration. Mmmmmm, they were GOOD. We should open a bakery. or NOT. By the time my family started arriving, there was smoke billowing out of the open windows and front door! Butter had oozed out of the rolls and started burning at the bottom of the oven. The neighbors were probably about to call the fire department! Even so, the cinnamon rolls turned out great.



Also last week, I was excited to talk to my dear friend Jessicca, who is now PREGNANT after a long journey of infertility. I'm so stoked for them! This has been a wonderful week indeed.


I'm throwing in this random pic of my cats, because there's not much better than a kitty in a sunbeam. Really. It's one of my favorite things...

We heart the Emersons Thursday, May 01, 2008

We were in Montgomery, AL last weekend to hang with some of our favorite peeps in the whole world. It's such a gift from God to have friends you can pray with, share your heart with, and of course LAUGH with. Brett, April, Caden and Corban live in Togo West Africa and we're actually thinking about going to visit them next spring. In Africa. Not Alabama. Big difference.

Rootclip Monday, April 28, 2008

Well, Erik's off to Denver for the next few days to talk to the "the board" about Rootclip. Have you checked it out yet? Rootclip.com The official launch is TODAY, the new video should be up by about 3pm. I'm so proud of Erik and all of the hard work he's put in to this. It's AMAZING. Even if you're not in to film making, you can still vote on all of the submissions and help support the site. It should be fun!

Mawage, sweet mawage! Thursday, April 17, 2008

I absolutely love this picture of Mark and Jess. This seriously gives you an idea of how much joy there was surrounding the entire event, as we watched Mark (Erik's brother) marry his best friend. It was amazing. Jessica is a precious person whom I have grown very fond of, and I have no doubt that she is the absolute perfect person for Mark. Their love for God and for each other is...just beautiful. The wedding took place in Fort Myers, FL this past weekend. We met up with family and friends we hadn't seen in ages, it was a wicked good time. Lots of dancing, eating, laughing, and it wouldn't be Florida without the torrential down pour thrown in for good measure. We'll spare you all of the crazy (and embarrassing) pictures of the bachelor and bachelorette parties, all you need to know is that the weekend ended with two lovers headed to Hawaii on their way to a fabulous honeymoon. Actually, they're STILL honeymooning as I write this. No fair.

I throw this picture in to remind us of the hilarious dueling sound systems at the park during pictures. These groomsmen are dancing to "Soulja Boy" courtesy of the people who were having a birthday party in the pavilion next to us! It was so loud, all we could do was laugh.

About 30 minutes before pictures started, Erik realized he forgot his PANTS. Kind of important. Yeah, if it weren't for Rob, he would have walked down the isle in jeans.

So, I totally forgot about this video when we first got back and for those of you that missed it on my facebook, I thought I'd share it. Enjoy!
