Birthday Boy!

Kit's 24th Birthday was Tuesday! We enjoyed a great dinner with both our parents at Outback Steakhouse and then went to Coldstone creamery for dessert!

Calico

Speaking of cats from my last post, it reminds me of something funny that happened a week or two ago. I went to the office a half day to work since Dr. Wilson was working in Franklin that day. I finished up around 5:30 p.m. I walked out to the Explorer and I had a message on my cell phone so I took the time to listen to it before starting up the truck. I strangely heard, "meow" a couple of times. I thought that was weird but I got out and walked around....I saw no cat. Got back in the explorer and was about to start it up when I heard a terrifying "MEOW!!!!!" "MEOW" "MEOW" so I got back out again. This time I was sure my co-workers were playing a joke or something. I looked around and saw no one. So, I quietly cried, "meow?" I heard, "MEOW!" "MEOW!" right back! So, let me tell you this too, I had dress clothes on. I am looking over my shoulder everytime I said "meow" for fear of people calling the looney bin on me!! I popped the hood of the Explorer...my heart racing. Would I find a cute cat or mangled one in my engine?? I lifted the hood to find the tiniest calico kitten sitting there hissing on me! Then, he quickly wormed his way underneath and all around the Explorer. I thought to myself great! He'll just jump out and run away!
I couldn't be so lucky....the kitten was stuck but everytime I reached my hand down there he was hissing at me. I had my sleeves pushed up and I was talking to my engine like, "Now, now be good! Don't be naughty...oh, that's not nice" when my friend came walking out of the people. She thought I had lost it for sure until I had her look to see for herself :).

This is the absolute funniest part, Kelly was underneath the Explorer and I was standing over top, trying to get this kitten out when I man came walking across the parking lot. I know he was going to be a "good samaritan" helping two women in need of car repair but at that moment as he approached, I was pulling the kitten out and he let out this very girly scream. All I could do was laugh. He said, "what is IT?!?!?!" I was like, it's a kitten...you want it?? Next thing I knew, he was gone. So, I brought him home. Kit loves cats and Grover was so excited...too excited!! We took him out to my parents and their neighbor girl fell in love. I saw him last week and Calico is fat and sassy... :)

Dog or Part Cat?

I was working from home and on the phone with a patient this afternoon when Grover decides to start acting like a cat! Of course, as I am trying to be professional and I can't very well scold my dog while giving a patient their MRI results. :) Snapping of the fingers was pretty much all I could do at that moment so, I took the opportunity to snap a shot!

This time last year

We didn't get to go out last night. But it brought back memories of what Grover was last year!!
A Cowboy :).
Of course he was about 20 pounds lighter too!!

Time Flies by

Alright, to my few and far between readers... I know, I know! It's been a while!! We attempted a weekend in TN. We got there very late Thursday night, woke up Friday and did quite a bit of hiking and Saturday early morning got the call that my mom was in the hospital. She had a gallbladder attack. So, we packed up and headed back to Lafayette. Since my mom had surgery later that weekend, she was unable to watch my sister's children this past weekend. So Aunt Grace and Uncle Kit got to do it! It was alot of fun and they were very good although things just get busy, busy, busy!!
Kit is eagerly anticipating to hear from Rolls-Royce this week or next and also had another job fair today. God knows!

I'll post some pictures of TN...

Scissor Time!

Check out my sister's blog www.warrix.blogspot.com.
My neice Mallory just recently made a big hair change for Locks of Love!

Wedding Bells...

Well, Congratulations are in order for my brother Zach and his now Fiance, Amber. Last weekend, they got engaged! Congratulations you guys. They plan to be wed sometime in May :)

Happy Fall!

Happy Fall Everyone!

It is definately my favorite time of year!!

I love the crisp air & the changing of leaves. It brings us closer to Thanksgiving which is by far my favorite holiday. Not to mention, everyone is starting to break out and wear my favorite colors now-oranges, browns, greens :). Kit bought me a pumpkin and that sparked the idea to snap a few pictures--enjoy!!

It's been a while

Sorry you haven't gotten any recent posts. As many of you know, I have been dealing with viral meningitis since July and had a second spinal tap last week to relieve pressure off my neck only this time, I had a spinal fluid leak and had to receive not one but two blood patches to fix the problem! But the LORD is GOOD ..."Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares for you..." My back has healed just fine and I was finally able to return to work one day last week. I am going to try to go all next week--please pray for strength as I still am weak and get worn out easily!
Anyway, Kit did not get the job with GM but obviously that is not what God has in store for us. He has an interview with RollsRoyce this Thursday! We are excited to see what plans God has for us as He is control of our lives and our Faith is in Him!

Please Keep Praying

As some of you may know, this week is the job fair at Purdue for Kit. I am SO excited that he graduates in December!! Anyway, he has met with several big companies regarding his MET major like GM, Honda, Rolls Royce, Eaton, International, etc. Anyway, Kit mostly was told to apply online and they would be following up but today he got a call from GM (Allison Transmission) and he has an interview Friday. Please keep praying for God's will in this fun and exciting time for us! We have been blessed so far and can't wait for what else is in store!

WATCH OUT SQUIRRELS!!!

Here is one of them!! The computer took too long to download so I'll leave you with this one :)

Labor Day Fun

We had a great Labor Day Weekend! Sorry it has taken so long to post! I really don't ever think any one reads our blog so I am never in any hurry to post anything! LOL Anyway, We enjoyed an awesome weekend with Kit's brother and his wife going to Nationals @ IRP and we also got to visit their church on Sunday which was incredible! Their pastor is a great speaker with a passion for Christ. We also got to see Kit's sister and her family who came up from TN! Also, I will try to post some pictures which my sister-in-law sent me of Kit, Josh & his Grandpa all going "squirrel" hunting. It is too cute!

What a week

We spent a week off from work to celebrate our anniversary and the last week before Kit started school. This is his final semester!!! We had a great weekend with my family in Ohio until I woke up with the stomach flu :( By that night Kit had it too!! We spent the rest of the week recovering! Anyway, there is a picture of an old mahogny mission style bookcase that was our anniversary present that I absolutely love!! Overall, it was nice to get away from work!

Rest of week

2 year Anniversary

Grover is now 1! Well, or 7 however you want to look at it! Here are a few pictures to show you of him with his birthday cupcake his cousin (my neices & nephews) got for him!! Thanks again guys!!

Lucy & Ethel

Here are Grover's good friends Lucy & Ethel that up and moved away!!! (Just giving you guys a hard time Lindsay & Troy) He misses them very much. We are going to visit in a few weeks but until then he wanted me to post pictures to show them how many fond memories he has. He is such a ladies man! In the first two pictures the girls are modeling what Grover got them to wear for Christmas so they could be fashionable with the cool weather! I thought I should show you Lindsay & Troy too!

One more semester

Well, Kit received his final grades today and he finished the spring semester well and only has one more to go!!! He is taking the summer off and will start back again in the fall to finish December 17! YEAH!!!!!! We are praying that he will be able to have a job lined up before he graduates!
