Anybody here!?!! Yes, it's been a while and I have been deemed this year's worst blogger yet. I apologize for being a complete blog slacker. My last post was on January 1st and I haven't blogged since. I'm thinking it could have something to do with me dropping my computer from mid air to the ground a week and a half later. Soooo, needless to say, I have been without a computer since then. However, I can tell you that my productivity around the house has gone up a little only to go down again when Will surprised me with an iPad for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I have no excuse now: I will try to keep you updated on our lives.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although I can't tell you everything that has happened over the past few months, I can give you some of the highlights and only go forward from here. The biggest change that was made in the past four months is my job change and Will finishing up his 2nd year of law school! I am so proud of him and can't believe 2 years are almost down. We {and yes I say "we" because I feel that I'm right there with him} are right in the middle of finals. For those of you who don't know, there is no such thing as multiple tests in law school like undergrad, but rather, it all comes down to <i>ONE </i>final at the end of the semester. Can you say C-R-A-Z-Y!? Better him than me, but I know that he will do well and all of this hard work that we are sacrificing for him to go to school will pay off. I am literally counting down the days until Will is finished for the summer. {approximately 10!} I am looking forward to having a sense of "normalcy" in our marriage with the both of us working and no school! Until then, we continue to live in separate rooms of the house. <strike>not really</strike>. But, I feel that I have to literally be in another room while Will studys at night so that I won't distract him.<br />

</tbody></table> It worked out so perfectly that my sister and her family could come down the same time Will and I could come. We try to coordinate our times home together so that one of us won't be at our in-laws house while the other one is home and vice-versa. <br />
<br />
*Side note* I must say that one of the hardest parts about being married is the holidays. Not that the holidays are hard, it's that the splitting of the holidays are hard. Will and I want to be with both of our families for everything and don't want to miss out on anything. We figured that while we are still young without children and because our parents only live 40 minutes away from each other, we can afford to go both places for the one holiday. It just requires a little more time on the road, but it's worth seeing both families! It will be more difficult the more our family grows. We will cross that bridge when it comes. {Do any of you feel this way, too!? }<br />
<br />
Wednesday night, my mom made a yummy soup and we all just hung out being goofy {as usual.} We got up Thursday morning to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Then we attempted to take Christmas card pictures. *Note* It is very hard to take a picture with 8 people and a baby. Thankfully, we finally got a decent one of all of us.<br />
<br />
Late Thursday morning, we headed up to my grandparents camp in Desota, Mississippi. My dad's whole side of the family was there and it was great to see everyone!<br />

Yes, I have been a bad blogger lately, but I can blame it partially on the fact that I have been without a camera for over a month. And also, well, just life happens. {Y'all know about that!}Since my camera decided to just bite the dust one day, I thankfully have had my phone camera as a back-up. Also, my father-in-law was so gracious and kind to let me take a few snaps on his camera this weekend. With all of this said, do any of you have suggestions for a good camera to look into? I have enjoyed my four year old digital pocket-held Canon camera, but am ready to look into something with a little more focus and a little more advanced. Thoughts or suggestions? What will give me the best picture quality?! Should I stay with Canon? All of you camera fanatics, I need your help!<br />
<br />
Below are a few pictures I have snapped on my phone over the past few weeks to keep you up-to-date on our life lately.<br />

I have enjoyed decorating the house for fall! My sister and I went to the Livingston farmer's market a few weeks ago and found pumpkins! We had so much fun walking around to the different vendors and looking at the fresh produce, breads, and jams.<br />
<br />
I also made a fall wreath! Pintrest gave me the creative bug. I was DYING to make something, so this is what I did!<br />

Back to the blog! This past weekend we enjoyed a very much-needed visit "home" to see my parents in Hattiesburg.<br />
<br />
Yes, I still call it "home" even though I have been married for a year-and-a-half. Can any of you relate?! There's nothing like going home to be greeted with a snack and either an ice cold Fresca or Diet Coke with lime from my precious momma; and there's nothing like going home to be squeezed by a big teddy bear hug from my dad; or there's nothing like going home to sleep in the freshly, clean-made sheets on my cloud, soft bed in my old bedroom and being woken up to the fresh smell of coffee brewing and breakfast cooking. My mom never fails to cook a big breakfast when we go home.<br />
<br />
If there is one thing I admire about my mom the most is her giving and serving heart. She is constantly looking out for my family and I whether it is cooking us a nice meal or just simply sitting down and taking the time to ask how my sisters, brother, and I are <i>really</i> doing; and when she does, we tell her because we know she will pray for us. And I'm not just saying one time, my mother is one of the strongest and most devoted prayer warriors I know. She truly <i>trusts</i> and <i>believes </i>in the Lords' faithfulness. If we said it once, we said it hundred times this weekend: God is Sovereign over all things.

My mom has set such a good example for my sisters, brother, and I, and I pray that I can be half the servant that my mom is to us to other people. A verse that my mom truly does live by and encourages my siblings and I with is this: "Those who sow to please their sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; those who sow to please the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6: 8-9<br />
<br />
Okay. I just went off on a big bunny trail, but I definitely had to share that with y'all. I am one <i>thankful</i> and <i>blessed</i> daughter.<br />

Back to the weekend: Will and I went down late Friday afternoon and visited with my mom and dad. The four of us later met Will's parents and sister Erin to eat at Robert St. John's new Italian restaurant in Hattiesburg, Tabella. It was a lot of fun for my parents to visit with Will's parents as well as it was to celebrate Will's 24th birthday! <br />

</tbody></table> On Saturday morning, we slept late, ate a good breakfast, and lounged around the house. Later on, my mom and I went and ran errands. We love getting in the car and just going to look at different places. I found a couple of refreshers for the house including a new fall wreath. I am officially ready for cold weather and FALL! After getting back from running errands, Will and I got ready for a highschool friend of mine's wedding. It was so much fun and beautiful! I had a great time seeing old friends and getting to celebrate Susan and Blake's Wedding Day!<br />

It's one of those projects that I've wanted to do since we moved here, but have procrastinated actually starting it because I thought it would be much more work than it actually is {do you have one of <i>those</i>?} Also, it's actually a lot easier than what I thought it would be thanks to my handy husband, Will. Here's a brief tutorial to recovering chairs:<br />
<br />
Step 1: <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlepsCayi5PG_hUlyhBk6cKJQF_dUMCv9QINm4JyzNbRnUDQq0M9e_8GM7TLfigVS1-x38yxh97dU0kQQSyYZ7lna1cHXmm1bzvdTQ-qy8rpPY45iP990utF2xR209rZkPjKxwNSERbkiM/s1600/IMG_1705.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlepsCayi5PG_hUlyhBk6cKJQF_dUMCv9QINm4JyzNbRnUDQq0M9e_8GM7TLfigVS1-x38yxh97dU0kQQSyYZ7lna1cHXmm1bzvdTQ-qy8rpPY45iP990utF2xR209rZkPjKxwNSERbkiM/s320/IMG_1705.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pick out your fabric!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>The yellow fabric above is for the kitchen chairs and the colorful paisley fabric is for the kitchen window valences. I thought these two fabrics coordinated well together because I wanted something a little more simple for the chair cushions and something a little more fun for the window valences. So, this is what I picked!<br />
<br />
Step 2:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gather all of your supplies</td></tr>
</tbody></table>All you need for this project is fabric, drill, staple gun, staples, and pliers. <br />
<br />
Step 3:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Use the drill to unscrew the old chair cushion</td></tr>
</tbody></table>Step 4:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gIGXDQyM9PSNRMnDVgb_UzN8849VRSLsumdPrRzSQ0hvdNXKxFZcvHVKeSCcGh2O36NvNWGxBfwAovxdfBXs9lWeLZRs7tGbCZhp1Tjx8aK3fpb8c2_dLP9t99R_X5-WBHQjLKdBVWCP/s1600/IMG_1706.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gIGXDQyM9PSNRMnDVgb_UzN8849VRSLsumdPrRzSQ0hvdNXKxFZcvHVKeSCcGh2O36NvNWGxBfwAovxdfBXs9lWeLZRs7tGbCZhp1Tjx8aK3fpb8c2_dLP9t99R_X5-WBHQjLKdBVWCP/s320/IMG_1706.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Once the cushion is removed, take the pliers and pick out the old staples</td></tr>
</tbody></table>After taking out the old staples, the old fabric will come right off.<br />
<br />
Step 5:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Can hardly believe it! "Summer" has come and is almost gone {for Will at least.} He has his summer school night class final this Thursday {please say a prayer for him if you think about it} and then starts his second year of law school in a couple of weeks. Wow, where has the time gone?<br />
<br />
Speaking of time, we have now lived in Jackson for a whole year! We moved here last summer {July 29th to be exact} and I cannot believe it has been a year. As some of you may know, I had a hard transition coming from the small college town of Starkville to the big, "metro" city of Jackson. I think it was more post-college that was so hard and getting used to the newness of everything, but that's a different story. I'm so thankful to God for His continual pouring of blessings on Will and me, and how He has caused me to grow and love where I am now. <br />
<br />
Today marks a whole year of me working at my still beloved Anthro! I've come a long way from starting off part-time. I honestly thought that it would only be a part-time job when we moved to Jackson and that I would find a full-time job at a hospital or some kind of advertising firm where I could use my marketing degree. However, the Lord had other plans in mind for me. {Still continuing to learn that <i>His</i> plans are greater than <i>my</i> plans.} I'm so thankful to do what I love--selling and working with people. I cannot tell you how many people I have met and connections I've made just through work alone--not to mention, how many people I see at my job. In fact, I've seen people that I haven't seen in months or even years and it is so fun to just catch up on life!<br />
<br />
Even though we've been in Jackson only a year, there's already some updates I want to make on our duplex. Yes, we are renting and we will probably continue to rent until Will gets out of school, but I still want to make it a livable and enjoyable place! Decorating and updating are always on my mind. In fact, I am always getting ideas off of my latest social network obsession: pintrest. If you don't have one, get one. Yes, it's just another distraction, but it is a fun way to get decorating ideas, recipe ideas, etc. Seeing all of these decorating websites and ideas, I have been inspired to learn how to sew!<br />

The fabric on our chairs right now has been on my to-do list to change ever since we moved to Jackson, but I just haven't gotten around to it. We are finally getting around to it! I will be sure to post a before and after picture once we are finished.<br />
<br />
Back in one of my older blog posts, I mentioned Will working on a project for me in our den. I just realized that I never posted a picture of what he did. So, here it is! Below is the before picture. {Unfortunately, the only before picture I took was at Christmas time, so please note that the white reindeer did not sit on the piano for 9 months of us living here!} <br />

</tbody></table>Will made those two shelves for me so that I had more room to display decor. I think he did a pretty good job! The four green brackets that the wooden boards are sitting on are from Anthro, and Will found the wood at his dad's shop. All he did was measure the wall space and bracket length, cut the wood to those measurements, sand it, and put a natural gloss on it. Then he just placed it on top of the brackets. Ta-da-there are our two new shelves! I made it sound so easy, and I ain't no wood-worker, but according to Will, it was <i>that</i> easy to make. <br />

A nice, cold glass of lemonade makes any day better. Especially the freshly squeezed kind. Well, crystal light works, too, either way lemonade makes me happy! I love the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." This quote is cheesy, but true. We should make the most of every opportunity we have in life and seek to bring the best out of any situation that may come our way. You're gonna get what you give!<br />
<br />
What makes your long, summer days better?! Of course, mine are food-related, but a good book will do it, too! I am in the middle of reading "Heaven is for Real." Great book--short and easy read. Definitely recommend it!<br />

Well, let me just tell you, she not only WON Talent Prelims, but she also got 4th alternate in the Miss Mississippi pageant. We were so <i>proud</i> of her!<br />

</tbody></table>Well, folks, that pretty much sums up our week long trip in a nutshell! We did go to the Track one night and ride go-carts and got ice-cream, but sadly I didn't document pictures of that. I do have a "you had to be there kind-of stories" to tell or else you may not think it's that funny. But, picture with me Amy and Ben riding go-cart doubles. A little kid t-bones their cart {at full speed}, they cause a traffic jam at the front of the race with every cart on the track hitting bumpers left and right{I'm pretty sure some people experienced whiplash!}. It was a pretty funny sight!<br />
<br />
I also need to tell you about my new loves I discovered while on the trip: banana grams, Mexican train, coke zero, coca almonds, and pretzels and hummus!<br />

Boring, I know, but everybody has to put their work in sometime, right?<br />
<br />
Thankfully, all of this hard work is going to pay off for both Will and I when we go to the beach for a week with my family this Saturday! I have never looked forward to a vacation this much in my life! My <i>whole</i> family will be there and this happens very far and in between now-a-days.<br />

Also, how could I forget to mention, we will be cheering on my little brother's girlfriend, Stephanie Stanford {Miss Delta Blues} on Saturday night in the Miss Mississippi Pageant from Perdido Key! My mom, sister, and I will be making the trip to Vicksburg on Friday night before going to the beach to watch her in the Talent Prelims. We know she will do wonderfully!<br />

Hope you all had a nice, relaxing weekend. Will and I did! We did absolutely nothing, and I was completely okay with that! It's good to have a little down-time once in a while.<br />
<br />
So from the last post you read, Will and I went blueberry pickin', and we have over 4 gallons of blueberries at our home that are just waiting to be eaten! We've enjoyed eating them already by putting them on our cereal in the mornings and making blueberry pancakes. <br />

We also enjoyed eating the blueberries in the Easy-Peasy Blueberry Cobbler I made. My Maw-maw baked this cobbler all growing up and she taught me how to make it in the sixth grade. Yes, it is <i>that</i> easy and <i>very</i> yummy!<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
2 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries <br />
2/3 cup of sugar<br />
1/2 cup of water<br />
1 stick of butter<br />
3/4 cup of sugar (different use)<br />
3/4 cup of self-rising flour<br />
3/4 cup milk<br />
Ice cream or whipped cream or both :)<br />
<br />
One of the things I <i>love </i>about this cobbler recipe is that all of the ingredients pretty much live in the kitchen already and the only ingredient I had to buy was the cool whip! <br />

Very hot, but fun! We loaded up our car when I got off of work on Thursday and headed south to Will's hometown of Laurel for a couple of days. One of our favorite things to do in the summertime is to go to "The Blueberry Patch" at his grandparents' house.<br />
<br />

There is over an acre long of big, beautiful blueberry bushes with millions of ripe, delicious berries on them just waiting to be picked. So, Will and I grabbed some buckets and went to town pickin'.<br />
<br />

Once we got back to Will's parents' house, we spread all of the blueberries out on a beach towel to sort through the bad {not so firm} ones.<br />

Do any of you have any other ideas or recipes that call for blueberries?!

What you may not know is that the Kentucky Derby takes place every first Saturday of May each year.The only thing I've ever really known about the Kentucky Derby is that the men get dressed in their seersucker and ties while the women get dolled up in their dresses and big hats to go watch the horses race. Yesterday I learned that there is more to the Derby besides seersucker and big hats!<br />

Will and I were invited to a Kentucky Derby party at the Hewitt's house. Will and Thomas are in law school together and Thomas has been going to the Kentucky Derby for the past 20 years. Because the Derby fell on the weekend between law school finals this year, he and his wife threw a Derby party instead!<br />

Needless to say, fun was had by all!

I hope that each of you have had a wonderful week. I know that my week started off to a good start with a visit to Hattiesburg to see my family for Easter. It was so nice to go back to my home church and see sweet friends that morning and to eat a delicious Easter lunch at my parent's house that afternoon. After going home, I realized that I had not been there since Christmas. Where does the time go?!<br />
<br />
<br />
We decided to take a few family pictures in light of Will and I coming home.<br />

For my birthday, I got not only <i>one</i> bouquet of beautiful Gerber daisies, but <i>two</i>! My husband woke me up with his in the morning, and yesterday afternoon the doorbell rang and lo and behold there was <i>another</i> lovely bouquet of bright-colored Gerber daisies sent from my in-laws! {They know me too well!} By the way, have I mentioned how thankful I am for the <span style="color: #e06666;">sweet</span> family that I married in to? Well, I am. And it's not just because they send me flowers on my birthday. They are some of the most <span style="color: #38761d;">thoughtful</span> and <span style="color: #38761d;">generous</span> people I have ever met. {That could be a whole other post in itelf!}<br />

So, you might be wondering, "Why does she keep talking about these flowers?" I guess you could say that flowers are <span style="color: orange;">pretty</span> and they make me <span style="color: orange;">happy</span>. More than that, when flowers are given or sent to you for some sort of occasion {or it may not be any occasion at all} they serve as a constant reminder of <i>who</i> took the time to think and remember <i>you</i>. <br />
<br />
Because I have all of these flowers now, I want to enjoy them as much as I can. So, I have decided to make "mini" vases of daises to place all around the house. That way, I can have a little bit of happiness in every room of the house. {Well maybe not every room, but still, the ones we are in the most.}<br />

I sometimes don't know what to think about being another year older but I am. I sometimes wish I could go back in time and be a little kid for a day. The care-free days of roller-blades and trampolines, pop-cycles and push-ups, spotlight and 'go fish.' {The list could go on} Coming to grips that those days have come to an end can be a hard thing at times for me, but at the same time it teaches me to appreciate and enjoy every chapter of life that I am in. My high school and college days have come to an end, but I am now learning to love my life as a wife, aunt, and a working gal ;)Every new chapter of life is <i>sweet</i>, and it reminds me of the Lord's continual faithfulness through it all.<br />
<br />
I feel like life is all about learning. I am learning to count my blessings daily. For me, one of the biggest blessings in my life is my husband Will.<br />
<br />

This a picture of the two of us today. We were introduced to each other exactly 6 years ago as prom dates for Will's senior prom. Little did we know that 6 years later we would be married. I often tease Will by saying, "You were <i>just</i> a high school prom date." Nooo, Will is much more to me than that. I could go on and on about all of the things I am thankful for about Will and all of his amazing qualities and characteristics, but I won't bored y'all with that. Instead, I will show you a few pictures of his thoughtfulness to me by making my birthday extra special!<br />

He took me to dinner tonight at Walker's where we wined and dined. We shared the portabella fries for an appetizer, and then I enjoyed my house salad and scrumptious shrimp and grits for my entree. He then surprised me at home with a yummy cookie cake!<br />

Needless to say, my birthday has been wonderful. I am so thankful for my 23 years of life and can't wait to see what the other chapters of my life have to unfold.

<br />
2011 is here and a new year has begun! As I reflect on the Lord's faithfulness and goodness to us throughout this past year and even through the first 12 days of this new year, I can only thank Him and praise Him for how He has sustained us through each and every day. From the food on our table to the heat in our house, the Lord's mercies are never-ending. <br />

2010 was a year full of change, growth, and transitions for both Will and I. For one, we got MARRIED on the second day of January. This had to be the biggest change for me during 2010 <strike> mainly learning to live with a boy</strike>! Our wedding day was the best day of my life and the best way to start 2010. We are able to look back now though and laugh at how <strike>immature</strike> naive we were, and how it has been so much fun getting to learn about life and responsibilities <i>together</i>. This past year I have learned to appreciate the art of cooking. I never really cooked before I got married, but I do now and really enjoy it <strike>when I have the time</strike>. One of my favorite movies, <i>Julie and Julia</i> has inspired me to be a better cook in the kitchen and to try new things. However, I'm still trying to get comfortable with the "basics" first before branching out too much. <br />
<br />

<br />
Another big part of 2010 for us was graduating from COLLEGE! A whirlwind of emotions surrounded me the day of graduation because all I could think about was how happy I was to be <i>finally</i> finished, but at the same time, how I was not ready to be in the "real world." Yet once again, God sustained me and gave me a job that I <i>love<i></i></i>, and I cannot thank Him enough for that. I love getting to play "dress-up" and help people feel better about themselves everyday.<br />
<br />
There are sooo many more blessings and big parts of 2010 that I could talk about, but seeing that this post is already really long, <strike>hopefully you are still with me</strike> I am going to end this post with pictures from this past year and a passage of Scripture that served as a constant encouragement to us during this past year. <br />
<br />
Happy 2011, friends! May the Lord bless you all.<br />

Thursday night, Will and I loaded up the car, picked up our other couple friends Anna and John, and drove 9 hours through the night to Maryville, Tennessee. YES, Will drove <span style="font-style:italic;"></span>ALL<span style="font-style:italic;"></span> night, John was his co-pilot, and Anna and I snoozed on and off the whole way there. When we finally made it, we grabbed some breakfast, and then got to have a taste of a <span style="font-style:italic;"></span> TRUE<span style="font-style:italic;"></span> fall for a few days.<br /><br />Because Mississippi's fall has consisted of a constant 80 degree temperature or higher, it was so nice to be in a state that had colored leaves and a wonderful temperature in the lower 60s. IT WAS PERFECT!<br /><br />Words don't even begin to describe the beauty of our God's creation that we observed this weekend. <br /><br />"Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created. He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away." (Psalm 148:1-6)<br /><br />Not only was God's goodness and beauty seen throughout His creation, but it was also seen through the love of two of His own, Bryan and Rachel. The whole weekend was dedicated to their wedding weekend! Bryan and Rachel are the perfect match--They both love the Lord Jesus with all of their hearts and in turn have this amazing ability to love and serve other people. Congratulations, Bryan and Rachel on a beautiful wedding weekend!haley and willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14316021048339906555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843615692326013483.post-2549160558205669382010-09-28T19:16:00.018-05:002010-09-28T19:31:41.916-05:00Happy Fall, y'all!:)2 months ago...we moved to Jackson. It has been quite a transition for the two of us being in a new city, new job, new school, new church, new everything. We are finally feeling a little bit more settled although the newness of everything is still there. Here are some pictures for you of our oh-so-humble abode!

<br />Happy Fall, y'all :)

Will and I packed our bags (and Millie's) Friday night, loaded up in the car, and headed to Starkville! After arriving, we met up with some of our sweet State friends, and we were able to catch up a little bit. The next morning, Will went to our favorite City Bagel and picked up some yummy breakfast for us to eat. Such a great start to a beautiful Saturday in September in Starkville! Later on, we met up with Will's parents and enjoyed a nice afternoon with family and friends tailgating in the Junction. The game last night was AMAZING! By far, one of the top five fun games that I have been to since my time at Mississippi State! So proud of the bulldogs, and am looking forward to cheering them on again this week against Auburn!haley and willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14316021048339906555noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843615692326013483.post-25247178538823420112010-08-23T19:00:00.005-05:002010-08-23T19:15:18.197-05:00Happy Birthday Will!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMP2hw9G_ShYNW6AwJrFoq1V9Ofe3LKPJ5ZBEXOe3rYoewfJDgU9alj0x2P4y-z7qGdExqhN1xcW5qRqL6TLQD6bWoROLiKUVoKAhpbxgNLv3d9PGf5Mrm36RIA7xXznBPsXpLAuHp2crN/s1600/IMG_0780.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMP2hw9G_ShYNW6AwJrFoq1V9Ofe3LKPJ5ZBEXOe3rYoewfJDgU9alj0x2P4y-z7qGdExqhN1xcW5qRqL6TLQD6bWoROLiKUVoKAhpbxgNLv3d9PGf5Mrm36RIA7xXznBPsXpLAuHp2crN/s400/IMG_0780.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508762530085900530" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHNy-_jsfbizNmpcabTFVWkD082PYFtWtpBV4RWIltcs8qEVRRsVKrp2rYMvSNI7fiJ3UhXQtt-4Cyv7T257EHq4iT-8aO-ZYBvcjBgZ1MsHbMOL9O4WuHlacwjEGtKK_w6uUpt2F2GFSy/s1600/IMG_0786.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHNy-_jsfbizNmpcabTFVWkD082PYFtWtpBV4RWIltcs8qEVRRsVKrp2rYMvSNI7fiJ3UhXQtt-4Cyv7T257EHq4iT-8aO-ZYBvcjBgZ1MsHbMOL9O4WuHlacwjEGtKK_w6uUpt2F2GFSy/s400/IMG_0786.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508762083273933266" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5G_LL5qFLKMJijEh4kTaHpvxObEgT86DtIFq-RSHfVCIJfYETCW8fa_su6YqvW-LZhg-ulsE27gU19RDXU3aGSXmLe9OdX8r0FmUW_FtoP7GvNF1twhYrJ1DaYP-0E-Y5F3UUXWiwF3hI/s1600/IMG_0788.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5G_LL5qFLKMJijEh4kTaHpvxObEgT86DtIFq-RSHfVCIJfYETCW8fa_su6YqvW-LZhg-ulsE27gU19RDXU3aGSXmLe9OdX8r0FmUW_FtoP7GvNF1twhYrJ1DaYP-0E-Y5F3UUXWiwF3hI/s400/IMG_0788.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508761891702399842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ14VlT_NrxIu8zYJbaF5e_85mXr9Ne8f7NWouE8szomY3fNArR7L0iQaFfQTs0RR8kfrtI3pVnmy_aTlm5BTGqscX2IxImdL4VNYBV3QfBX1efp2nNL5O46-nwJBPtTOyhOsQ5olYRVJs/s1600/IMG_0791.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ14VlT_NrxIu8zYJbaF5e_85mXr9Ne8f7NWouE8szomY3fNArR7L0iQaFfQTs0RR8kfrtI3pVnmy_aTlm5BTGqscX2IxImdL4VNYBV3QfBX1efp2nNL5O46-nwJBPtTOyhOsQ5olYRVJs/s400/IMG_0791.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508761788367837394" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Will turned 23!!<br /><br />Will's 23rd birthday was this past Saturday, and we had a wonderful day celebrating!
