We are Officially DOWNTOWN!

Finally, we have moved downtown. While in Tennessee finishing up a long 2 years of turmoil, we closed on our house and our apartment on Pine St was finished. Actually, we moved some, ran to TN for the day(like it is just up the road), drove in late the next, and finished moving as we had to be out of the house VERY soon!

But we absolutely love it--not sure if you have ever had that feeling of "WOW--THIS is where I belong" but that is what it was like when got in. It is kinda small, but spacious at the same time and Maggie loves it too. I'll have pictures up soon. Even Mags got a new bed out of the move--not that she prefers it to mine or anything!

I have lots of favorites about this new place. One is NO YARD to maintain!! Yippee. There is just enough grass for Maggie to go poopy and that's all we need. Princess Maggie really isn't into hanging out outside. I think I have exhausted her with walks to Town Square Park. I think she is glad that I went back to work today. We have great neighbors--including the Sheriff Dept--how's that for a security system??!!

So as Ty Pennington would say, I will say for us--Welcome home, Price family, Welcome home!

Ready for Spring

We so have Spring Fever--Chris and I tried to get a jump start on spring and summer and spent the weekend at the camp on the Jourdan River. It was a beautiful weekend, but still kind of cool. We took the boat out and cruised up and down the river and out to the bay--after Chris spent most of Saturday getting the boat to crank. Who knew he was so mechanical?? It was a nice escape--

Hanging out in beautiful Downtown Hattiesburg

Last Sunday was a BEAUTIFUL day--and I now have definite spring fever! I cannot wait for all these cold days to end... I know my tune will change by early August, but for now, I need warm sunny days!!
We spent the afternoon walking around, taking some photos--some just for me, some for Chris to maybe paint...Then finished off with Happy Hour at Brownstone's. They do have one of the best happy hours in town. Don't forget about them!!! And sitting up on that balcony with the warm sun coming in----Ahhhhhh....it was like vacation!

Update on my Daddy

Thank you so much to all who have prayed for and offered to help my Daddy. He, his wife, and my niece are beginning to put the pieces back together--it's just such a slow, painstaking process. They are leaving the motel tomorrow to go to their local state park.. They will have a one of the newer cabins there and get a bit more settled than 3 people in one tiny motel room. Plus, it is on the lake and may be like a little vacation.
They are beginning to collect the small items that they lost, since they will be in a cabin for a while. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help and offered prayers. They truely are feeling it. But please continue--they have a very long road ahead of them!

My Daddy's Home

Prayers, please

Thanks to all who have offered their thoughts and prayers already. I am asking for all of you to keep my dad in their prayers. On Saturday afternoon, his house caught fire and burned completely. He, his wife, and her grandaughter were able to get out safely, along with all their dogs, but it was a total loss--including their vehicles. The Red Cross has put them in a hotel for two nights and on Monday they will meet with the insurance people. I have begun to get a few items of clothing but not real sure where to start. I have collected a couple of WalMart gift cards as that seems to be the best way to help, since we know Wal Mart has EVERYTHING--and that's what they lost--EVERYTHING! Thanks again for all of your thoughts, prayers, and help.

Don't Throw That Snowball at Me!!!

BRRRRRRRRRRRR! Baby, It's Cold Outside!

All I have to say is--Told ya so!!! I knew it was gonna snow! Actually, we had lots of ice and sleet, but we did have some great big honest SNOWFLAKES! Of course, I do own some super cute hats, perfect for going out in the snow and ice--Can they be found today?? Absolutely NOT! This makes me so very upset, but I braved it anyway...here are a few shots of our street covered in slush and snow. Even Maggie and Dali got to play a bit in it---Dali DID NOT like it one bit--teach her to run out the door everytime it is opened!

Sibling Rivalry

Remember that cute, sweet, tiny baby Dali from last spring.....well she has learned to hold her own. I no longer worry about her when she plays with her big (much BIGGER) sister Maggie. Dali goes for the ears....she bites down, holds on, and goes for a ride. Truly, she isn't as vicious as she looks in this shot. She is still very sweet and cuddly...as long as you aren't stepping on her and breathing dog breath!

Happy New Year!

Hopefully everyone has had their lucky black eye peas and cabbage--we doubled up and added brussel sprouts, too...surely that has to be good for something! May God bless you in 2008----2008, It's gonna be GREAT!

What a Wonderful Christmas

Chris and I have had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year! Boy, was Santa good to us or what!!??? We spent some time with my mom and grandmother. We all had lots of yummy goodies to eat and a beautiful spread on Christmas day. Santa and his elves spent Christmas Eve sipping egg nog and playing, rather trying to figure out, grandmother's Chicken Foot Dominoes game. The later it got, the harder it became to count all those dots! Finally, SANTA came! He had already come early for Sarah and brought a very nice new camera--that one day I will learn how to use ALL the settings...He left lots for Chris, too. Guess he was a good kid this year! Chris can longer use the excuse of getting lost for being late. Santa left him a Garmin. And then Santa really surprised Sarah with the ubercool iPod Touch--only thing is, the tag says I have to share..guess I better, so I start the year off good! I will spend the rest of my vacation loading music onto my (our) iPod and playing with the rest of our toys! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thanks to all the Santas!

End of a Crazy, Wonderful Year

What a year it has been for the Prices!! I don't this Chris and I have ever been quite so busy or worked quite as hard as in this past year...but we have many successes and blessings to show for it! We look forward to the next year and to all the surprises it will surely bring..Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to ALL!

Holiday Cheer!

Make a postcard - it's easy!

Merry Christmas from the Prices!

Happy Holidays! We hope Christmas finds each of you healthy, wealthy, and warm this year---at least we know the we've got the warm part here in South Mississippi!

House For Sale

This great house that we moved into this spring is now FOR SALE!! I love my house, and really thought we would be here for a very long time, but we have a great opportunity to move into Downtown. I have wanted to live in the middle of downtown for a very long time--so we are doing it!

This house is a great house and our street is WONDERFUL! I will miss my great neighbors. Call Chris if you or anyone you know is interested in seeing it!

A Yucky Day

Blah--this week has been kind of yucky...I have a major pain in the neck--REALLY! I think my skull needs to be taken off and put back on straight. I have gotten some medicine so maybe soon it will be better.

Taligating

Well, Southern Miss just couldn't hold out against Memphis Saturday...but we did have a great time tailgating! Lots of yummy food! We will try again for that W on the 24th against Arkansas St...see you at the Rock!
