YEAH!!! THE BEACH!!

We just got back from a well deserved trip to the beach in Panama City...seven days of sand, sun, and fruity drinks--minus the umbrellas...GOOD TIMES!

Amazing Video

Someone sent this to me and it is something we should all watch...especially when we think we are stressed and work or life is just giving us too much trouble...

Memorial Day Weekend..

We OFFICIALLY, I guess, started summer off on Memorial Day weekend at the Camp....lots of fun! Here are a few pictures...

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, Chris, Mom, and I went to see Grandma Ann in Monroe! Chris was such a trooper--he handled the "Girls' Weekend" very well. We did some yard work and trimmed some trees for Grandma. We had a fabulous dinner on the bayou at Cypress Inn--so glad this place was still there. Chris and Mom had ALL YOU CAN EAT crawfish--these were the biggest crawfish I have seen in a long time...then we fed the turtles that hang out in the bayou...we spent our last day there at the zoo and met some neat creatures!

Summer TIme is HERE!! YEAH!!!

Our New Place

We love our new place! Hope to show it off very soon--

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!
