**~A Wonderful Day~**

Today started out wonderfully and only got better! My dear husband woke mamaw and I up at 7am and had fixed us breakfast. He fixed sausage, eggs and toast. It was so good. Why is that everything is better when you don't have to fix it yourself? Then mamaw and I went walking. We walked 3 miles and we even jogged a little. Yes....my mamaw jogged!!! Chris and I took Kari and Malachi and met Amanda, Brandon and their baby Autumn at the Danville park to let the kids play. Autumn was sleepy and so they didn't get to stay long. Kari and Malachi had a blast! Uncle and Sassy did too! :)) Here's some pics of our fun day.....
















We had a great time at the park then went to McDee's for ice cream cones. I just love their 49 cent cones! To make a long story short the kids were wore out and getting whiney so we took them back to Gammy's. lol!

Today was a jail Friday, but it was a special one. We had our first baptismal. We took a water tank and went into the courtyard (as they call it) its more like a concrete room with metal wires on top. At least they can see the sky. So anyway we filled the tank up with warm water and baptised 8 women. It was wonderful. God has really helped some of those ladies. This has a been a wonderful day! I hope tomorrow is just as good.

Have a great weekend!

God is great and greatly to be praised!!!!!

6th Anniversary!

Friday Chris and I celebrated our 6th year anniversary. It's hard to believe that this much time has passed. We went to Chilli's to eat supper and then to the mall for shopping. We topped it all off with a drink from Starbucks. MMMMMM!!! My absolute favorite! They have the fall flavors out now. I love the pumpkin spice. I didn't get to take any pics so I don't have any to post. I will say that I love Bath and Body's new "Dark Kiss" scent. It is just magical! We had a great date and I love these fall evening spending time with my hubby. Its hard (for me)to think that I can love Chris so much more than when we first got married. I never thought it would be possible, but it is! Oh yea, did I mention how blessed I am to have him for my hubby? This morning when I got up he said he had a surprise for me. He had cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes, took out the trash, and *woot woot*. . . . cleaned the BATHROOM!!!!!! He is the BEST and I love him more and more.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Ok.... for the story behind the pic on my last post. Last weekend we went to Lexington for a neighborhood yard sale. When we got hungry we decided to try something new. We saw a place called Sal's and tried it. It was a very elegant restaurant. If it hadn't been lunch time, we may have stuck out in our yardsaling clothes. When we walked in the tables were pre-set with fine china and linen napkins. Super awesome!



One of the best parts was when I ordered Chris and I a salad. When the waiter delivered it Chris looked at it and said "Where's the salad at?"
Here's a pic of the *salad*.


The food was delish!!! Every time they brought a new dish out, mom and I got our phones out and started snapping photos. LOL!!!



The steak, potatoes, mushrooms, salad and bread were all sooooo good. But the best was dessert. A yummy HUGE chocolate chip cookie with ice cream and Carmelo and hot fudge. Lovely!!!



All in all it was a wonderful meal and I can't wait to go back!

First Exam!!!!!!

I need all the prayers anyone can send my way. Tomorrow is my first math exam! I am very nervous!!! Math is my worst subject so I've been studying all evening. I hope it helps!



Oh yea! I'll have to post the story behind this pic later!
Have a great Thursday!!!!

School Days!

MY OH MY! My life has changed drastically since I began school this semester. I have to say that most of the time I really enjoy it. But the other times, when I'm up until 5am doing my homework and writing my article reviews, I shake my head and wonder why?!?! Then I go to work and I remember. Its well worth it! LOL!!! I really enjoy my classes and who~would~a~thought~it, I'm learning all kinds of new stuff. I always told Chris I knew it all, however, I'm realizing that I have ALOT to learn.



Chris is handling all this change very good. Used to I could count on one hand the times he went to bed without me. I feel like the past three weeks he's had to every night. I'm also lacking in my exercising. I think this is hurting Ashlee's feelings more than mine tho. :) One thing I do miss is seeing the kids. I used to go to work and when I got off I would go to moms and play with the kids till Ashlee got off work. Then I'd go home fix supper (or Ash would) and then we'd walk 3-5 miles. Get up the next day and do it all again. Now I feel like I'm always running here and there. If not for that "sweet hour of prayer" (as Dad preached) I would go crazy!!! Well, its late and I need to go to bed so I can function in the morning. I have math class at 8am. I need to be sharp! Oh yea, I've lost 3lbs. That puts my total to 60lbs.!!!!! I think its just the stress though. But, I'll take what I can get!
