The First Annual Lake-lympics!

So this Fourth of July at the cliff house at Lake Whitney there was quite a competition going on. There were eight teams of two and seven events. The events included darts, pool, ping pong, horseshoes, corn hole, washers, and red-neck golf! It was a blast and we are all looking forward to next years competition. Fair warning: y'all are all going down once my partner gets back from Afghanistan! ;)

*Ring, Ring* *Hello?*

So I heard from Rush today! It wasn't a very long talk but it was longer than they used to be, and I'll take what I can get! :) Anyways they are going to be moving again, and again I have no clue where to or where from. Fun. But I think in this situation the saying, "Ignorance is bliss" applies. He did get to see my friend Stefanie's husband Brock while he was out, which is pretty cool. While he was there he was also able to pick up some of his mail, so now I know that he can get it (it just might be a long while before he can get to it.) But in all I was glad to hear from him, and can't wait till Christmas!

D-Day

Isn't he just so handsome! This was from deployment day. :(

So I cut my hair...

Seeing as Rush is gone for a while and my hair could use some healthy treatment, I decided to let Tamara cut off all of my split ends and then some. Now if only I could get her to do my hair everyday. :) Oh well, I guess I'll have to settle for her teaching me how to do it myself!

Stone Mountain

Okay so this is when we stopped at Stone Mountain. We had a good time, but of course the actual park was closed, so we just sat in the parking lot for a bit and took a rest from driving. Which is probably a good thing! Well I hope y'all enjoy these photos, I saw them and thought I should post them. I sure enjoy them! :)

Boy or Girl?

I am really interested in what my brother has picked out for a girls name. We still have ten weeks though until we find out the sex of their baby. This is going to be killer! Garrett would you mind if I took guesses? I mean, why can't you just tell us? It's not nice to keep secrets you know.

Drum roll please...

So here are my much anticipated paintings. I finally got them uploaded to the computer and downloaded to this blog. These paintings are done in about four hours each in a class that is given every week on base. Each week it's a new painting. The instructor is a certified Bob Ross teacher and she tells us pretty much what to do at each step. Of course everyone's painting is slightly different but overall they are kind of the same idea. Since I've never painted before I am mostly trying to learn techniques. These two are landscapes, and I've done wildlife (I just can't post it because it is a surprise gift for someone) and I hope to soon learn florals. Each kind varies greatly in colors and techniques so I have a lot to learn! But I always look forward to these classes. As soon as I get back home I'll keep downloading my recent paintings (now that I know how.)
