Lately


Well, as soon as we returned from our trek, we knew we would be busy. We installed our wood floor in our kitchen/dining/laundry area this past weekend with the help of Lili's mom and dad.
They turned out great and the room seems so different, check it out!

Just getting started......

We cannot thank Lili's mom and dad enough for driving to Dallas and helping us with the floor. Couldn't have done it without you!! Love you lots!

Tour de Mississippi


Shortly after Jordan and I completely terrorized our home, we made the trek to Mississippi. Jordan can only take vacation time in week increments (and during the months the hospital tells him to) and February was his month. So, we packed up our stuff and headed to the Coast first. Do you know how difficult it is to pack for a week in Mississippi? It's impossible! It is like any other place in the south. One day, 70 degrees the next 40...impossible.

It was great to be home and see family. While we were in Biloxi, we celebrated my mom's birthday with cake, ice cream, and a fun game of scrabble, Granny kicked all of our butts!

She's a pro, it was a set up. She can turn a two letter work into 34 points. AMAZING.


We also had a lot of great food-Maw Maw's Meatballs, and had dinner with Lili's Aunt and Uncles. We had a FABULOUS meal at the Chimney's. It was great and we enjoyed having a little extra time with John, Louise, and Mike!

After the Coast we headed up to Starkville to see one of my favorite people, Emily and her family (Reed and Smith) for lunch at Little Dooey's. It was so good to see Smith and how he is turning into such a handsome little man.

Then we headed to Pontotoc to see Jordan's family. We had so much visiting with Jordan's parents and grandparents. On Thursday, Jordan headed to North Georgia for a double Bachelor Party, and stayed in Mississippi. I had dinner with Amanda and Brandon in Tupelo Thursday and then drove up to see Lindsey in Oxford.

I was supposed to see Emily, Michaele and Otie but I became deathly ill in Oxford and ended up driving Sunday straight to Dallas. Lindsey was a great nurse to me and was great to let me hang out on her new couch and nice big bed! Thanks Linds....

Overall, the tour de Mississippi was a success, but all good things must come to an end.
