Finished By Friday

So I heard this song on the radio today and t just seemed to sum up how I try to be there for my friends (and family). I've often said, "I don't have to agree with what they are doing, to be there to love and support the person they are." So here it is: P.S. Sorry about the spacing. It's driving me crazy! Find Out Who Your Friends Are Tracy Lawrence Run your car off the side of the road Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare This is where the rubber meets the road This is where the cream is gonna rise This is what you really didn't know This is where the truth don't lie{Chorus} You find out who your friends are Somebody's gonna drop everything Run out and crank up their car Hit the gas, get there fast Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far' They just show on up with their big old heart You fi...

OK, Time for an update. (Well, OK I just needed a break from my homework and this gave me an excuse. Two assignment edits and another assignment all due today. What is she thinking?! Anyway. . .) We were happy to help our friend Tandy celebrate her marriage this past week-end. Because we were to be singers, we had to be there for rehearsal Friday night. We drove up Friday afternoon, stayed over Friday, and came home Saturday afternoon. We didn't get home until around 9:00 P.M., had to print bulletins and do some school stuff and be up for church the next morning. It was a bit tiring, but luckily we had Monday off to recuperate. We're honestly turning into old people! Here are a few pictures Jon took at the wedding and reception. Andrew and Marilyn (Mother-of-the-Bride) (sorry it's blurry) The Men - Andrew, two of his friends, Justin (cousin-of-the-Bride), and Todd (Brother-of-the-Bride) The girls - Samantha (Maid-of-honor), Karissa, Kayla, and Jenn (all friends-of-the-Bri...

After a couple months of having no living room furnature, we were blessed with these beautiful, practically brand new Broyhill coutches! They are identical looking, but one is a couple inches wider because it (unlike the other one) holds a hide-a-bed. The best part, for us, was the price. How does FREE work for you?!? It works for us! Here are some pictures we took the night we moved them in (yes, Jon and I moved them both in all by ourselves!)

These. . . um. . . Lovely red . . ish curtains were in the living room when we got here. I really disliked them because they seemed to draw unnecessary attention to the orange shag carpet! However, after acquiring two beautiful couches with just touches of a deep red. . .ish color in them, 1) the carpet didn't stick out like a sore thumb, and 2) the curtains almost match so. . . I decided to revitalize the crazy curtains! Here are a couple before, during, and after pictures. They were just hanging straight down. There weren't enough panells to spread over the rod. I decided I needed something else. The almost finished project. (I have added tie backs.) Of course I have fiddled endlessly with them ever since I fixed them up!

OK, this is just crazy! Where else on earth would it get down right hot for two weeks and then snow again?!?! Yeah you guessed it! This whole week has been nasty cold with snow off and on. (I knew I shouldn't have made that last post!) Anyway, I have been trying to get Jon to let us get a more springy picture of the two of us to put on here, so here it is. Of course there's not too much green stuff around yet and it snowed two days after this picture was taken, but. . . we enjoyed the weather while we had it!
