since it's been forever since i posted on here, i figured i'd update everyone as to what's new in our lives.
one of my last posts was almost one whole year ago. i had just finished tiling our kitchen. that has turned out okay. i have had one tile crack on me, and the trim still needs some attention, but i'm pleased with my project overall.
we've done alot more updating since then. we recently repaired some settling cracks in the doorframes and repainted the living room, the upstairs hall, the dining room, and the kitchen. we also touched up the doorframes and chair rails. it's looking very nice now. we've still got some improvements to go, though.
brooke is doing fantabulous in pharmacy school. she is almost finished with her 2nd of 4 years at Samford's pharmacy school here in Birmingham. this was supposed to be the most difficult year of school, but she's done awesome so far. she has about 3 weeks left before she's done for the summer. she may sleep for a whole week....bless her heart...she's so exhausted. she still works with Publix pharmacies, just not 20 hours a week like she did her first year.
brooke recently completed a 10K race in Mobile, AL. i'll post pics and an entry about that soon.
i currently work 3 days at my practice at a Sam's Club Optical in Homewood, AL. then, i work 2 other days at a private practice in Cullman, AL. it's been good to split my time between such opposite settings. it helps me understand the needs of both entities. i play softball every monday night with a church team. i'm addicted to fantasy baseball.
we still go to church at Shades Mountain church of Christ. our group there has really grown recently. we just finished our spring gospel meeting. we're planning a senior member appreciation dinner in late June, VBS in July, and an area wide youth rally in August. so we'll have a busy summer.
my parents moved to Montgomery about a year and a half ago. they have loved being so much closer to all us kids. especially the grandkids. be patient, Mimi and Pa; we'll contribute when brooke gets out of school! :)
that's been our life the past year in a nutshell. keep posted for more pics and updates soon.

Well, I'm so glad that you are back! I'll be looking forward to some funny client stories of your own. It just amazes me clueless some people are. If you didn't know, Amy Trygg, Kim Sparrow, Eric Trygg (through Amy's blog), Liz Wake, Liz Johnston and many others are on my blog. There is a link to Teale and Chad on Leah's. So many people I'm sure you know! Love you, Son!
Hey there. It's about time you got back to blogging. I checked occasionally to see if you had posted anything and there was that same old picture of you and your tile work! I have found this to be a fantastic way to keep track of all my "other" kids and look forward to reading about the 'doings' in your lives. By the way I have a blog now as well. http://quietwatercomments.blogspot.com/ Love you, Aunt Pat
