The New House

Yippee! What an upgrade this house is. The story of this house goes like this. We were looking for a 3 bed 2 bath house in Cookeville, where Chris will start his new job. The house we found and liked turned out to be one of those, "I have a bad feeling about this " kind of thing. Thankfully we did not get that 3 bed 2 bath house cause God had this 4 bed, 5 bath, 3 kitchen, 3 car garage with a pool all ready for us.

We are renting from a friend who was having trouble selling in this market. We had only been inside once or twice before and only in the front part of the house. We really did not know what the house was like and there were no pictures of it at all. When we pulled up in the Uhaul it was like checking out a vacation house. We could not believe how awesome it was. Plus it was partially furnished. Big plus because I certainly did not have enough furniture to put in this large a house. The whole thing has been such a blessing strait from God.

Then here is the crazy part. Several months earlier, before Chris even got a job in Cookeville, I had been praying about where we were going to move too. That night I dreamt we were living in Bob Mumfords house. In the morning I told Chris how funny it would be if we ended up on Bob's street (he was still living in the house at the time). Well God was more literal than I thought. S

Congratulations Chris

Chris I am so proud of you. Four years of residency and you are finally done! It was so much fun to go to his graduation dinner and have fellows he has worked with come up to me to say how much they enjoyed working with him and how they could tell he genuinely cared for his patients. I could not have been more proud.

Painting outdoors

It was just easyer to start off with him naked.

Chris taking apart the Corsica

God knows why Chris loves his 1983 Corsica because I don't. He constructed a tent to take off the steering wheal in the hot Memphis sun to fix one tiny little part that had broken. The process took 3 days and 40 screws latter success. The Man can fix anything. But I have to wonder: Should he just because he can?

Grandparents visit

My mom and dad came to visit and I realised after they left that we had not taken any picture of their visit. :( Thees are pics my mom took of Thomas playing in the park playground by our house. So you will just have to imagine all the wonderful things we did and places we went.

We did see Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers perform at the Orpheum. Very cool. Great music and of course very funny. And seeing it with my parents made it even better. It was wonderful to get to hang out with them. Thanks for making the long trip down to see us.

Caught in the act

I caught Thomas filling up an old medicine bottle in the toilet and dumping it into the trash. He was so cute and the seen so funny I just had to let him do it one more time.

Funny: Before I married Chris his mom told me about a similar incident involving putting things in the toilet. Hummm.
