Long time, no blog!

I haven't written in so long...I feel out of the loop! We have been so incredibly busy lately. I remember when Mark and I first moved to Decatur, and we heard all the families at church talking about how busy their lives are with work, their kids, sports, etc. We were never able to understand that life...until we had kids, of course. Man, they take up a lot of my time! Of course, I wouldn't want it any other way. Haleigh's basketball season is finally over! I am so thankful, Mark is really thankful...Haleigh is not. She has such a good time playing, and she can't wait until next year. That is when all the fun begins for her because she can steal the ball!! Mark has been playing on a church volleyball league for the past 2 months or so. I thought last week was their last game, but they have a tournament that starts tonight. So, we will be doing that tonight. The Decatur High School basketball teams are both (boys/girls) out of the playoffs now, so no more basketball nights at the gym. I am hoping that we will be back to normal for a while, but I doubt it. Morgan is about to start volleyball, and that will be another night! The lady organizing the league called to see if Mark would coach - he said NO! Anyway, here are a few pictures from Haleigh's last game...she did so awesome this year...we are really proud of her.


Mark was out of town for 4 days last week to Tulsa. He had a very informative conference, and hopefully it will keep him educated on things in the gas measurement business! Yesterday he celebrated his 35th birthday. We were glad to have Mark's dad and his wife, Twala, join us at church and then take us out to lunch! Happy birthday to my wonderful husband! Speaking of my wonderful husband...this is what was delivered to me on valentine's day...



These were the flowers we had in our wedding. The lily is called a Star Gazer Lily and the roses are Fire & Ice roses. Aren't they lovely...how sweet of him to send me the flowers from our wedding. Of course, he was the one to select them in the first place, so it is easy for him to remember what kind we had.

On a more serious note, please pray for my friends Jerry and Anna Nicholas. Jerry is struggling with cancer. The treatment is not helping, and his cancer has continued to grow. Their doctor has recommended trying to seek treatment at MD Anderson. Just keep them both in your prayers, please.

I have so much more I want to talk about, but I have so much to do right now...more to come...soon.

Maybe the extra year is what hurt Mark's ankle Wednesday night. Believe me, it just starts falling apart faster and faster.

Next year will be my first year of basketball without coaching. If he needs some help, tell him to give me a call. I may be in withdrawals by then.

I sure will be praying for your friends. Hope y'all are having a good week!
