Fabulous, Busy Weekend

After a busy, busy week at work, we had a busy, busy weekend.  It was enjoyable though.  Friday night Adam and I took Amy over to a friends birthday sleepover then went out to eat at Outback (one of our favorite places to eat).  It was great to have a date night! 

Saturday, we worked until 2, Adam then went fishing and I napped (thats the fabulous part!).  Saturday night we went to support our newest employee/friend Laura as she competed in the La Reunion idol contest. 

It was great spending time with the wonderful ladies that work with us.  We are so blessed to have such an upbeat, talented, hard working bunch of ladies. 

Sunday was Easter and we went to church then headed to Decatur to spend the afternoon with The George's.  Mrs. George's cooking was superb as usual!  We later spent some time outdoors trying out their new lawn mower. 

After we got home, Adam started tilling our new garden!!  I am so excited about having a garden this year.

Saying Goodbye

Today we said goodbye to our beloved Brother Mo. He has meant so much to our family for so many years. We first met him about 15 years ago when Riverside Baptist Church still met in the Acton Hardware Store. We moved on to the new Riverside building, then on to CrossBridge Community Church with him. He baptized both Andrew and Amy and spent many hours giving freely of his time to help our family. He died on December 29th, our 24th anniversary. He taught us so many things, how to pray, how to serve others and how to never give up! We will miss him dearly!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here we are at 2012...time does fly! Adam and I just celebrated 24 years of marriage. Andrew is 20 and Amy 13...time does fly!

One of my goals for the year is to take a picture a day. Here is my picture from my walk today with Amy...4 miles!

Starting Over

Well, I am trying to come up with a new name for my blog since we no longer live on Lakeridge. I'm gonna try to start blogging here again as well. Since last January 2010, we moved from Lakeridge into another neighborhood in Helena and like it so much more than we thought we would. Our home is not nearly as big, but it is PLENTY big for the 3 of us. (We are never home anyway). The shop (http://www.alterationsbygeorge.com) is growing and getting busier everyday and our lives are just so busy. Amy is now in 8th grade and on the dance team. I am so proud of the beautiful young lady that she has become. Andrew is 20 and living in Montevallo on his own. I am proud of him too!

I am now a RUNNER...a real one, not a fake one :) Check out my other blog http://www.churchladiesteam.blogspot.com/

I am loving running more and more everyday. I can't wait for the temp to change so it won't be so hard to get in my mileage.

I saved 138.00 at Publix!

I started couponing again and thanks to http://www.iheartpublix.com/ I got 178.00 worth of groceries for 68.00!!

Happy New Year!

2009 flew by! I am thrilled that it is gone though...it was a tough year for me. I am looking forward to new beginnings in 2010. Our business is doing great but our goal is to make it even bigger and better in 2010.

My 2010 goals include:
Growing our business
Simplifing our home and belongings
Get serious about exercise and weight loss
Grow closer to God

Can I get this going again?

Stacey motivated me tonight to start blogging again...thanks Stacey!
