Merry Christmas

Goodbye Bandit!

On Friday my parents had to put my dog, Bandit, to sleep. She had just turned 15 years old. She was a great dog and a great friend and I will miss her greatly. She is now in that big yard in the sky with her sister, Smokey. I will miss you Bandito!

Engagement Photos

Andy and I had engagement photos taken the other month and just got them in the mail. This is my favorite one. Here is the link if you are interested in viewing them http://www.pictage.com/457895 . Our wedding photos will be at this same site.

Race for the Cure

Yesterday Andy and I ran in the Susan G. Komen 5k race. We ran for Christy's Angels - a team founded by Christy's daughters Kim, Jaime and Julie - 3 lovely ladies I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know. Kim is married to Andy's friend Dusty and also works for West Knox Trucks and Julie is my future sister-in-law (Andy's brother's wife). Andy came in just under 24 minutes and I surprized myself by being just over 28 minutes! Great cause with good friends. To all the ladies - get those boobies checked!

Less Than 8 Months To Go

Hello all - been a while since I've posted - sorry for the absence. Things have been busy in our lives. Andy is busy taking 18 hours worth of classes and spends long nights at the library studying - I am so proud of his dedication but can't wait for him to graduate in May. We are less than 8 months from the wedding and I just got a call that my wedding dress in already in (they said it wouldn't be in until December). I have been busy working with the men's soccer team at Carson Newman College and am proud to report that they are undefeated in our conference play and have a high probability of winning the conference title. I also work with the women's basketball team and they start up official practices this weds. Guess who their first game is against - The Lady Volunteers! I also start teaching an online class for Mount Olive College at the end of the month. As you can probably guess I am kept very busy and haven't had much of a social life. Andy and I had the chance to go to a haunted corn maze the other weekend and had a blast - check out the Oakes Farm (http://www.oakesfarm.com/). That's it for now!
