Construction and Football

Shawn and I have been busy little bees as usual. In the diaries of starting a family last week was a roller coaster for us. I have been taking some pills to help things along and I have chalked it up to more experiences in the world of hormones! This past weekend I volunteered again with Habitat for Humanity. I have attached a picture of the house. Back in the beginning of June I helped kick off the house, which is to be built by all women. On that day we set the entire flooring system! This past Saturday we finished up the drywall work......Dad would be proud with my work. I did not get to "sparkle" like I did as a kid but I did get to draw lines on the wall. It was hard work but fun. While I was working hard Shawn was out in the sun watching his football team. His guys finished third in a "Linemen Challenge", which is good, GO DEFENSE! Oh, and just for fun on Sunday we moved my sister, AGAIN, making it move number four.

Williamsburg Viginia

We traveled to Williamsburg, VA for July 4th. Shawn had never been and the last time I went I was knee high to a grasshopper. We had a great time and Shawn did not let us rest until everything had been seen. We also went to Busch Gardens and on the way home we stayed a night at King's Dominion. Again, Shawn would not let me rest until every ride had been riden, some even twice. Shawn got to hang out with Thomas Jefferson some in Market Street, Mr. Jefferson was not all that talkative. When we got to Williamsburg we were warned that the British were in town as well. They had set up camp right in the middle of the "city". We also made a trip out to Historic Jamestown and toured all the sites to be seen there as well. We were lucky enough to get there in time to get a guided tour from one of the park rangers.

Before and After

For those who have not seen yet....I CUT OFF MY HAIR! Back in May I cut the curls off and donated them to Locks of Love. Hopefully there is a child or two out there wearing my hair. How funny is that to think about? They easily cut off the required 10 inches and had some to spare. It is really amazing to me to see how different I look with it gone. Not sure if I will grow it long again anytime soon.

See how this goes

Hello all!
Since family and friends are spread out this seems to be the best way to stay in touch and "see" everyone. Hopefully the older generations can figure this out and view this and the pictures we hope to share.
