HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIETTA!!!!

Today is one of my best friend's birthday! Welcome to the world of 25 Marietta!!!!! You are a great friend, so fun and so talented when it comes being crafty! 

Here is Marietta, my lovely friend!

bottom of table, I think I need to stain the top dark brown? Marietta is such a great friend and I'm so thankful for all of her help. I wish her the best birthday ever and can't wait to celebrate in Dallas for our girls' weekend, whoo hoo!!!!
I ask you to pray for my dear friend Erin Conner who is pregnant and has been in the hospital since Friday due to her having bad esophagus pain and not being able to keep down food. She has been in Conway since Friday and they are wanting to move her to UAMS, please pray for her, Ethan her little baby boy in her belly and her husband Craig as they go through this situation. We need her eating and for safety of this belly. Thanks for adding her to your prayer list, my heart is anxious as I wait to get updates about her. 

We love our Mello!!!!!

We are having the best time with our little puppy, he really is adorable-I'm sure we are biased, but he's pretty cute! Today he went to his first out to Wilson Park, so much fun and he became the best break for all those working out around the park as they would stop to say hello. Sat. he went to the Farmer's Market and did so well with all the people and all the other dogs. He plays hard and sleeps hard. Hope you all enjoyed this wonderful weather today!

Sleeping
His favorite spot!!! He will sit and stare at the couch because he can't jump up on it yet, it's funny and cute. 
Mello's 1st bath! He often attacks my earrings and necklace because they are shiny. 

IT'S OFFICIAL, JORDAN IS DONE!!!!

Jordan has received his diploma and I'm so proud of him! He has spent the last month working so hard to find work. With this I mean helping out at home with every little thing you can imagine. I'm so thankful for a husband that serves me and works hard to take care of us. He and I have had some frustrating times in this season of waiting on God to open the right door for him, but we have grown a lot in learning to respect each other more and serve one another in brand new ways. I love Jordan more and more everyday and keep seeing him grow as a man and am so thankful I get to be married to him. He is developing into such a strong leader for our family and it makes me so happy to watch him seek God's guidance for us. 

He has just recently gotten a job with a company out of Dallas that sells the credit card machines to retailers. This is a great job for him as he gets to go out daily and meet with lots of people and sell something, which he is great at! He is so excited and I'm so proud of him for waiting and for this job to have come up. He is excited to get out the house and daily get to go work, he is thankful to work and so am I. It's hard finding a job and anyone who is searching I encourage to stay strong in your perseverance with Christ as your guide!!!!

Football Games

I'm a bad blogger and have figured out why....getting that cord out to hook up my camera to my computer just does not happen! It's not that I don't take photos, because I have lots stored, it's getting them to this computer, so future advice-buy a camera with a USB port attached. 

Here are photos from recent football events for our family...

I love our field!!!!! 
This is Mello watching football on TV with Jordan, he's on Jordan's lap staring at the TV 
I went to watch one of my best friend's, Marietta, sister cheer at a High School football game and Mello would stand on the bleachers and watch the game, so cute! He is a dog after Jordan's own heart for the love of football. 

Our New Addition!!!!!

Welcome to the Wright family: Mellow!!!! He is a Piebald Dachshund and is adorable! We love him SO much!!!!

My New, FREE Decor

My mother-in-law always encourages me to use what I have to decorate, find new ways for old things. So I have this entry table and wanted something on the bottom of it and one might I dug out my "decor" box and put together something that I think looks just perfect! I was quite proud of myself for not buying something else and my husband was more proud! :)

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!

So it is here...the amazing, overwhelming, exciting season of FOOTBALL!!!! My joy is nothing compared to that of my husband who I swear is singing the fight song in his dreams every night! 

This past weekend we went down to the Little Rock game to tailgate and watch the hogs win, and they won!I got spoiled Sat. morning with a pedicure with my wonderful mother-in-law, it was fabulous and I was so thankful!!! Then I got to go see one of my best friend's new home! It is their 1st home to buy and it was absolutely beautiful! It's huge and the inside is so lovely, it's like a big real home, I'm so proud of them and this fun season of buying their 1st home! 

 And well....the tailgate? It was more like a nomadic retreat to say the least. Jordan and his buddies thought they could just get on the golf course at like 3:00 with no problem, well there was a BIG problem, no one else could get on the course then. So, our dear friends Marietta and Spencer helped pay for parking at this little old ladies home and carry our stuff ALL over the place. Yep, we carried the grill, cooler, and a sack full of food, we felt like nomads wondering where to set up shop??? 

We finally landed with Marietta's husband's family and ended up having a blast! BUT, then Jordan and I had to carry everything ALL the way back around the stadium to his dad's car before the game...it took me a sec to get into the football spirit at the game because I was so wornout! But the hogs looked good and they Won, yeah!!! I was very glad to see lots of friends and my husband made excellent burgers for everyone, it ended up being great! 

So as we were pulling out, Jordan realized he forgot the cooler, at the point I should have realized I was in for it!
