8:28 revisited

Today is our 2-year anniversary (I realize most of you won't read this until tomorrow, but work with me). If you've missed out on the spiritual significance found in the date of our anniversary...click here.
Wow! 2 years have really flown by, and yet...it's hard for me to think of a time when Laura wasn't a part of my life. I guess that happens when you've found "the right one"... and I definitely have done that.

No one else makes me laugh harder or more often.

No one else is more fun to be with.
No one else is more beautiful...without even trying.
No one else cares more for her family and her friends.
No one else makes me more sure of myself.
No one else is more supporting, more loving, more incredible than my wife, Laura.

Thanks babe for the best 2 years of my life. I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us.
I love you.

She's a Brick(ed)----House!

Mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out

She's a brick(ed)----house

The house's stacked and that's a fact...ain't holding nothing back.

She's a brick(ed)----house

Yeah, she's the one, the only one, who's built like a Taragon

Too Good To Pass Up...

Anyone who has frequented this blog for any length of time knows of my fondness for the bathroom music at ALFA.

Today's ALFA Bathroom Song of the Day was too good not to share. So...there I am..."taking care of business" when the song begins...an instant bathroom classic (drum roll, please)

Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton...

Islands in the Stream!

"Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin going on
You do something to me that I cant explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin goin on..."

(insert your own bathroom joke here)

Sometimes these things just write themselves :)

WHEW!!

Ok...order has been restored.

Uhhhhh...

WHERE ARE ALL MY LINKS AND PROFILE STUFF?!?!

I'm so confused...

Our House...In the Middle of Our Street...

After much clamoring and demand for a post update on the house situation...mostly from my wife...I present to you, PICS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE...

It all started with some dirt and a dream...and someone else's rather large red dumpster....

Next came the odd configuration of boards along with piles of cement block...and a pallet of concrete. The suspense began to build as we tried to visualize what the house would look like...how much of a backyard would we have...were there any dead bodies buried underneath our house and would that cause problems when we turned on the TV...

The next thing we know, we not only have a slab (duh, duuh, duh; duh, duuh, duh...let the boys be boys...SLAB!) but they started the framing. We could really start to picture the house now...only it looked more like a jail cell than a house...a really nice jail, but I digress.

The frame seemed to go up over night...them boys were FAST!


Here's how the house looked our next trip to P'ville! Fully framed and papered...just like a big ole' present...without the bow...and ribbon...and fancy paper cause that stuff was just black and had staples and nails all in it...anywho. Very exciting sight for us!



Here where we stand at the moment, or at least since Saturday. Siding going up on the house...again much excitement. It's pretty amazing how quick they go up, at least until they are dried in and the interior stuff begins. That starts to slow down the process.

They say we should be in the house in October, so if you ever find yourself in Prattville in October (or November if things really slow down) come by and see us. We'll be the ones with the really big grins...and the new house. :)

Pics of the interior soon to come...again more of a country jail motif right now, but they tell me all that will change...we'll see...
