WAY TO GO KATEY LEIGH DARNELL! 3rd runner up at the Fair Pageant tonight. Pics to come. (I forgot my camera so Neesie will have to give me some.)





We are less than a week away from the closing so I will post a pic of the house for Aunt Patsy. I haven't done it yet because I was so terrified I might jinx it. We are just about finished with the painting and then we have to fix the deck and fence in the yard. After that we should be ready to MOVE IN!
Anyone interested in helping, give us a call. We will supply pizza, beer, and if it is way hot outside we will head over to the pool for a cool down!

Mama and Brian painted Emily's room today and it is gorgeous. One more coat for Brylee's room (remind me to never agree to a yellow room again, we are on our 3rd coat!) a small area in the hallway and laundry room and we should be good. The appliances were delivered Friday and need to be installed but they look great. We love them. We are adding a second set of steps to the deck and fencing in the backyard. We eventually want to extend the deck but that will have to wait a bit. We plan to line the back yard with trees so that we have all the privacy we want. It is sooooo quiet and peaceful out there and it just feels like home to me. We are planning to get the girls a tire swing for the tree out front. We are all super excited, but not looking forward to packing. Which by the way I guess I should go do some of since Brylee is asleep. More updates to come. Love to All!

Well, we are getting ready for the move!!! Brian, me, and Mama painted the kitchen, Brylee's room, and our bedroom this weekend in the new house and we have lots of painting left to do before we move. The mortgage papers are signed and everything looks great according to everyone there. We are set to close July 24th and will need to be out of our house by Aug. 1st. We are very excited.

Gramps was admitted to the hospital on Friday. He had one (possibly two) mini strokes. He has been moved to the Lynchburg Nursing Home as of today. He seems to be in good spirits so hopefully he will be back home soon. Thanks for all the prayers, please keep'em coming.

We had a great 4th, Brylee loved the firecrackers. We missed Robyn, Kerry, and Anna Claire this year at the pool and cookout. AC has been running some very high fevers and went to the Dr. today and has the viral case of strep throat. Poor Lil' girl! I know her Mommy is probably worn out as well. Please remember them in your prayers also.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Love You All!
