Just another Saturday




Well, I slept in a bit today, as I was up at 4:00 and couldn't go back to sleep. Came downstairs so that I wouldn't wake up Chuck and I sat and watched TV. I haven't posted since my original post last week, guess really nothing much has been going on. The weather here as been crazy. Terrible storm over our winter break and then again last night. I have been watching the news this am. it seems more bad weather may be headed this way. Darn, we are having a small porch put on the front of the house and with this weather it seems we can't get it finished. I can't wait to see what will look like,should add to the house, and then hopefully we will also sod and get this place looking presentable. They are also calling for snow tomorrow. Wow, mother nature has to show us all of her darling friends in one weekend. Well, no biggy, it will pass and one day the work outside will be done. Here's what it looks like right now, it's getting there.





Caitlyn did have a game this week, and what a game it was. I think the girls thought tha
t the team they were playing was EASY to say the least. Anyway, long story short, we were down 2-0 and then Caitlyn scored a "beautiful", (what her club coach would call a "girly" goal) right over the goalies head into the goal. Half time it was 2-1. We tied it up toward the end of the second half and went into two 5 min overtimes, with the score still 2-2 at the end of that, so that means shoot outs; Nail biters. Anyway, we ended up winning in shootouts. Whew. Puts Starr's Mill with a record of 3-1. Next game is Tuesday, 7:3o at the Mill if anyone is interested. I am posting a few pictures from Cait's last game.

Well, I need to get some stuff done around here.

Again, remember I am new with this blogging stuff, LOL. Any suggestions you can make would be appreciated.

Our Family

I have been wanting to start a blog about our family. So, here is a little bit about our gang. Chuck and I have been married almost 13 years. We met New Year's Eve, 1993 when a neighbor introduced us, but to be honest we just really didn't hit it off then. Several months later, August 1994 to be exact, we did go out for the first time, and well the rest is history. We were married May 10,1996 and because we fell in love, we have "The Gang" and what a wonderful "gang" we have.

I have three children from my first marriage, Natalie 22, Bryan 19 and Caitlyn 16. Chuck also has three from his first marriage, Nick 30, Chad 28 and Cole 24. We have 3 grandchildren. Austin, Olivia and Meredith. Austin and Olivia are Nick and Sherry's two children and Meredith is Chad and Carrie's little girl.

It is a crazy life, but we love it and we have a lot of fun when we all get together. We are very fortunate that all 6 children live in this area and we hope that they will all remain here. We've had to deal with Chad and Carrie living out of state until last weekend, when they moved back to Atl. from Tampa. Yeah!!!

Well, I think I will go ahead and get this first entry posted.

God bless you all
