roommates

Thought you might like to meet the roommates....

Me and Leslie with Mr. Bear @ Pigeon Forge....having a roommate again has been a lot of fun....I'm so thankful for our blessed friendship from the good Lord above....

...and Lex...the spoiled ol' professor masked in a dogs body....he's a lot of fun...taking a break from his paper ripping activities....this seems to be one of his favorite things, that and a love for chocolate chip cookies which we discovered when he helped himself to dozen freshly baked cookies...my kind of dog!!

Welcome to Tennessee

I made it to Tennessee safe and sound!!!! After a VERY LONG drive, over the course of two days, a little rain, a couple of stops at Cracker Barrell, and crossing the Mighty Mississippi; my mom, aunt paula and I made it to Johnson City, TN. It's beautiful here!! Great weather and beautiful mountains and scenery!! My room and the rest of the house are pretty much a disaster area due to all my junk. But, hopefully in the next couple of days I will have all of that stuff sorted out with pictures of the new place.

Crossing the Mighty Mississippi

Aunt Paula, Mom and Me....glad to be here!!

see ya later, alligator....

Well, time has come to say good-bye to what has become my home town for the past nine years. Can you believe I've been in College Station that long? I can't!! Words really can't express what I'm feeling right now. Moving is hard work, and I'm exhausted and just ready for all this to be done!! What will I miss about good 'ol College Station?? Well, there are the obvious things/people, which I can't really write about right now becuase I can't stand to cry anymore today. So, here's a top ten list of the fun and silly things I will miss in no particular order and a couple of things I won't miss at all....

1. Freebirds

2. The Train

3. Aggie Baseball

4. Blue Baker

5. Gold's Gym

6. Chillin' in my hammock in Kirbyville

7. Kyle Field and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band

8. Shake's

9. Ahh, the humidity....not so much

10. The Bryan Wal-Mart.....NOT!!!!!!!!!

Please pray for safety and our sanity as my aunt, my mom and I make the 18 hour drive to Johnson City, TN the next two days!!

Let Freedom Ring

Happy 4th of July!! I am a bit of a patriot, so I love to celebrate on the 4th. I spent the last two nights celebrating with friends and fireworks, one at the Kirby's and then tonight at Bush Library. I am thankful to live in a place that honors the men and women who defend what we celebrate on July 4th....independence and so many blessed freedoms. A BIG thank you to all the men and women who sacrifice for our country each day. Who stand with honor to fight for what they believe and live with integrity among those who fight against them.

Judi Kirby...the Kirby's have become my second family.

I love ya'll and will miss you SOOOO much!!

Cara Kirby

Lisa and Marla....enjoying some fireworks and good fellowship with friends!! Love ya'll!!

funky chair

This is what I did with my spare time last week....more like 3 days of hard work! Thanks to Ron @ Ron's Upholstery in Paris, Tx, I learned how to reupholster a chair and had a great time doing it!! I must say that I am quite pleased with the work of my hands...well worth the time spent and hopefully it will be the perfect addition to my new home in Johnson City, TN.
