Home!

Does this look like a mess I would make? No? Well, this is the mess that's left after 6 weeks on the road and I still can't find my navy sweats. I've searched for them in two states and fear that they are lost forever. It has been the craziest 7 weeks of my life...ever. New jobs, responsibilities, new families, more stress, and more love? Seriously, Josh & I may have the craziest schedules and careers, but we are having a great time although I've needed a break in a bad way from any place other than my own bed in my own house. I am home for the next 3 months and then I will be sharing a new life with the love of my life. We are preparing and searching for the things we need and avoiding the formalities, ie., small wedding, close family, even closer friends on a beach that also happens to be a home, too.
I adore this picture of Joshua. He is picking out all of the stickers that were caught in my dress after I decided to jump through some janky grass just to grab a couple of photos. He the greatest match and has the kindest heart. I am astounded by his patience everyday. The CGB is doing well after some transition and although we miss Chris & Karen, we know that they are where they need to be. Please be in prayer for the guys as they move forward with new projects and work together for the future! I am so proud of them all. They are all extremely talented. I will promise to do my part to let you know what they are up to.
The janky grass yielded this result: I want to hang it in our living room in Monroe, Louisiana!

Burning Down the House!

I was reheating a tortilla this morning in my mom-in-law's kitchen. I was so enthralled with surfing the web and I ran back to check the toaster oven and as I rounded the corner, I saw that flames shooting out of the little appliance. Bad News! Josh ran to the kitchen, unplugged the oven and took it out of the patio. I was so embarrassed but it was also HILARIOUS! The house finally aired out. I telling this story at parties!

Jam Out!

Today I'm a dancing machine! Its totally true! It must be the creativity. I'm making huge amounts of progress on the book by the way. It is coming along well and I'm encouraged with the turn it has taken. I might might a couple of my fave lines later.

Make a playlist and dance today!

Meet the Cooley's!

The Cooley's are expecting their first child in the next 3 weeks! Here are a few images I got a hold in between traveling.

Boat Ride

More Chopping

These were a few cool pics from Kevin's night job!

These funny little photos were taken last week in Louisiana. Our brother in law has a really awesome job as a narcotics officer and so we were able to help him chop up some guns...well, we watched! I will post the cool pictures after these. We were just having a little laugh while he worked. Don't worry, Josh and I do not have aliases or off shore bank accounts.

engagements

we finally took our engagement pics! check 'em out! we love 'em!

Dallas Bound

Joshua and I are Dallas bound this morning! I am going home after 3 weeks of being out of town! WooHoo! We are totally stoked that my new sis a.k.a. Joshua's sis, Angelique gets to spend some time with us in Dallas. I am so glad to get back after an awesome time in LA!
