Here's what's going on in our lives (if you care):

May 2005

5-16-05: Hello, happy Monday! We had a really fun weekend. Our party Friday night was a BLAST! We had about 40 people there altogether, so it was a really fun time. We got to see a lot of friends that we don’t see that much. A few people that drove from Fort Worth stayed over, so we stayed up late talking with them. The next day, we got up and had breakfast with those who slept over, then just laid around until about 4:00, when we went to our niece Alexis’ b-day party in McKinney. After that, we just came home and watched TV the rest of the night. Yesterday, we got up, went to church, ate lunch with Amy and Brett, then came home and were lazy for the rest of the day. That’s about it, a pretty good weekend! This week is going to be busy at work, due to school almost being over. So, I will talk to you all next week. The pics of the party are HERE. 
 

5-9-05: Good morning. I hope everyone had a good weekend. Ours went pretty well. Friday night we went to eat and then went bowling with our small group. It was a lot of fun. Saturday, I got up and took the dog to the vet to be checked for worms (turns out the little guy we took care of last week had worms). He checked out ok. After that, I went and worked out. I came home, and worked on the yard all day while Hollie cleaned house. That night, we went to a Cinco de Mayo party on our block. Afterwards, I went to my friend Mike’s house to watch the Mavericks game. The next morning, we all went to church. Penny drove in Saturday night for Mother’s day. After church, we all went to eat with Amy and Brett. We stopped by Lowe’s on the way home to get some stuff for the house. We worked in the flower beds that afternoon. Hollie and I went to Target last night to finish up getting stuff for the Party on the Patio that we will have this weekend. We are really excited about that! That’s it for now. I will post pictures of the party next week. See you then.
 

5-2-05: Happy May everyone! I guess I will start with an update about the dog situation. He dug out of our backyard Monday while we were at work. Thank goodness I left Kevin in the house (just in case this happened, I didn’t want him following the new dog out). After talking to some neighbors, it turns out he was picked up by animal control. However, the next day, I got a call from a lady in the area that rescues stray dogs from the pound and takes them to a local no-kill shelter where they are put up for adoption. Supposedly he was rescued Wednesday morning from death row, and taken to the SPCA. Anyway, once that saga was over, we began the process of buying Hollie a new car. She wanted something smaller than her Tahoe, that gets better mileage. Anyway, we settled on the Lexus RX 330. After talking to the salesman for a couple weeks, and letting him know what we wanted, he finally found one Friday night. We did the whole song and dance thing of haggling over the price, and finally came to an agreement. We bought the car Saturday night, and Hollie will pick it up today. I attached a picture of it at the bottom. Anyway, Friday night, after haggling over the phone with the car salesmen, Hollie went to Westlake to a lady’s retreat with Destin. I went to Amy and Brett’s and helped them get ready for their garage sale. The next morning, I went to our career fair to help interview candidates for next year. That afternoon, we went to sign all the papers on the car, then went to Fort Worth to watch the Mavs game, and eat dinner with Mark and Destin, and Tim and Jenny. We had a really good time. We are now starting to pick the house up to get ready for our big Party on the Patio. This year’s looks like it is going to be a lot bigger than last year. We are expecting about 60 people. I am really excited, I think it’s gonna be a blast!! Anyway, here is a picture of Hollie’s new car that she is so proud of. Have a good week.
