TAGGED!! Thanks Trish and Whit!

The way to play this game of tag is to go to your picture files and look in the fourth folder and find the fourth picture. Then display and explain.


This was my fourth picture down in my picture file at work. This is me trying on my wedding dress to get it altered. It was a two piece. And the lace up in the back was my favorite.
Man I loved that dress. I wish I could do it all over again...it was so fun!
I still cant believe its been 3 years since our wedding....crazy!!

I tag: Alissa, Holly, Shanda, Valerie

Senior Portaits!

I added more pics to my website. Check it out!

How cute is he??

Luke and his brother Nick have been best friends since day one! Never got into any fights......cough, cough.
Actually the most famous story I hear every year at the dinner table is how Luke threw a Fork at Nick and had it sticking straight out of his head!!!! haha
(That's when they knew....he had the arm!)

Don't you love Luke's legs? He still stands like that! lol And believe you me...I still have to fight with him to wear his pants around the house. haha JK

Luke was an ALL-STAR ball player in high school......
Varsity Quarterback, Varsity Basketball, Varsity Baseball....

Luke served his mission to Spokane, Washington. Spanish Speaking!
This is his best friend Zack Vance!

Went on to play College ball at Southern Virginia University!

Luke is set as SVU's Leading Passer. Last year he broke and set so many records!
He has thrown for over 40 touch downs and 4,000 yards in his SVU Career.

Saturday

My crazy busy Saturday!!

5:45 AM ~ Wake up

7:15 ~ Start 5k Marathon Race in cold foggy weather

Look how much fog was there! It made it so hard to breathe and not to mention it was freezing.
7:45 ~finish Marathon, sad time I know...But i didn't stop at all! And they said the course ended up being a mile longer than they thought.
9:30 AM~ Set up for Mountain Days to sell my purses! I sold 3 out of 5 which was way more than I thought I would sell!! I should have made more but I wasn't sure of the turn out. (Sorry Alissa the rooster one was sold.)
12PM~ Tailgate party
12:30~ At the field for Senior Day getting his senior gift! I got to escort him down.
Coach smith on my right and President Smith on Luke's left. Luke got a small football signed by all the coaches and also a small SVU helmet. They also announced his football stats....that game he broke 4,ooo yards in passing in 14 games.....pretty impressive!

1PM~ 4pm Football game

4:30-6:30 E.R. visit for Luke's Finger.....its alright, he doesn't have rabies

7PM~Eat at Don Tequila's, it's the only Mexican food within a good hour.

You get used to it....and then you start to crave it!
We were supposed to go to the Homecoming Dance, it was 40's themed. But with everything that went on we were sooooo tired and had no time to get ready.... We had our wonderful friends Nate and his son Trey stay at our house for Homecoming weekend. Thanks for a fun weekend. We always have a good time with the Sharps!! Alyson we are still mad that you and Jayci did not come...=(

I still cant believe I ran that Marathon. If you really knew me you would know that I absolutely hate running with a passion!! I found out Monday and had one week to prepare....I was like...."I'll do it." I ran with my co-worker Marissa,who ran a 24 mile marathon before, she kept me going and every time I wanted to stop she wouldn't let me! She was the best running partner!

Anyways, I am glad I did.

Luke was trying to get a paper away from Mable that she was chewing up and I guess he went at her fast because she growled and then bit him. My sweet Mable is not like that at all....so it was really weird to hear that she got aggressive. Well it was super deep and hadn't stopped bleeding for 2 days strait. We decided to have it looked at after the game...(it was on his throwing hand.) She also had not had her rabies shot yet, not that we think she has it, but we wanted to make sure that wasn't a possibility.

Anyways it was a fun filled Saturday...I cant believe all that we accomplished!

Here we come Cactus, Palm trees, warmth, and large freeways!

We are coming home for Christmas!!!! Wahoooo!!!!! We will be there from Dec. 22nd to Jan. 5th!!!!! We are so excited to see Family and friends that we haven't seen in a year and some of you 2 years!

Thank you to our wonderful parents for making this happen!
