"1st time to blog..."

Well, I have always wanted to create my own blog, but never seemed to find the time. I love to read other friend's blogs, but here I go! Alex and I have been "empty nesters" for 2 years now. Our oldest, Lindsey graduated from SFA in 2007, and our youngest will start his 3rd year at OSU this next fall. We all 4 love to read, travel, ski and mexican food! We all 4 love Harry Potter, going to the movies and just hanging out! We all love Jesus and each other.

"Lindsey"
SFA graduate, AXO, 1st grade teacher
Lindsey and her cousin Kristin live in a loft in downtown Dallas. They are having a blast!!! Lindsey is an awesome little teacher and she has made us very proud!

"Brady"
Junior at OSU, Phi Delta Theta fraternity, living at home this summer...
Brady lives at the fraternity house at OSU. He has some really neat friends, Trevor, John and Rhett. Brady just loves life!


"OSCAR!!"
Oscar is my sweet puppy. He is a Malchi. He is the best dog we have ever had. He loves everybody and everybody loves him!! He minds us so good. I love my puppy!

OK, now Alex and I. We have been having a blast "empty nesting!!" But we always knew we would. We love to go to movies, out to eat, go with our friends and just hang out at the house. We spend a lot of time swinging on the porch. Oh, and we are slowly redoing an old house... built around 1892, we are just taking our time and redoing a room at a time. I will show some of our rooms later.

I am teaching 3rd grade (5 years back at teaching!) and Alex is a VP for Government Relations for a company in Ft. Worth. He is the best husband and my very best friend. We have been married 26 years this June, pretty awesome huh?

I am so lucky to have a wonderful family.

(I just read this to my sister, Denise, and she said...."hey, what about me!!!" I know, yes we are sisters... more about us later... lots!! about my family growing up, too! My parents and sisters, nephews and neices are great!)

Well, here's to my 1st blog....
