The Deck and Dr. White!

Just when it was starting to turn cold, Drew and my dad (with help from others too..mom and Brad) finished up our new deck. We weren't really able to enjoy it much till now! Sydney and I have fun out there on pretty days, and it is always nice to grill out and enjoy when Drew gets home. Thanks again Dad and everyone else who helped with it! We love it!

Also we wanted to congratulate our brother in law and Sydney's uncle Brad on his graduation from Dental school. We were sad we couldn't be there to witness it, but were thinking of him. Sydney can't wait to wear her new outfit. Pics of that to follow in another blog:) We are even happier that this graduation will bring them closer to us again! We love ya'll.

6. My Bible study (even though tonight we didn't actually study the Bible:)

7. I COOKED dinner tonight (this is unusual for me but I'm really working on it) and it was actually good...even though Drew said the chicken tasted like "chinese food" and it wasn't supposed to be chinesey...he liked it though or so he said:)

Singarama and Church

We went to Nashville this weekend to see Katie perform in Singarama! Congrats to her group winning FIRST place!! It was a lot of fun and Katie did a fabulous job as a mechanic working 9 to 5. Sydney got to see Keely again and meet Emily at none other than our favorite restaurant in Nashville...Mazatlan! I also got to see Sara, which was great. Love and miss you all!! We also got to go to church for the second time with Sydney. All the new babies were introduced and prayed for by the elders. It was really neat. We are so blessed by our loving family at Laurel.

What a short but oh so sweet visit!
