A BIG update!

Okay, so I'm taking a little break from paper writing to FINALLY update everyone on our crazy life.  We have been busy! I'm sorry I haven't updated. I'll do better, promise.  These are the highlights of the past 2 weeks:
- I got my bottom wisdom teeth out about a week and a half ago
- After my surgery, we went straight to Philadelphia to spend the weekend at the Neshoba County Fair!
-  I didn't get to have as much fun as I wanted to (because I was still recovering), but we still had fun!
- I left my phone at the fair all week, so I was out of touch with the world!
- My grandfather also died that weekend. He was very sick and is in a much better place, no longer hurting and no longer sick! We miss you Grandaddy Bill, but I'm so thankful that you are restored and no longer sick.
- Went back to Philadelphia this past weekend for the last night of the fair and to celebrate Ann and Big Ab's birthdays!

So, needless to say, we've been so busy! A lot of little happenings have been happening in between them, too! I'm actually in the process of finishing my last assignment of my undergraduate degree! SO - in a matter of a few hours, I will be a college graduate! CRAZY! I feel like it has all been a blur. When I think of the things that I have experienced in the past 4 years, I am blown away to say the least. I have been on top of mountains (literally) and the depths of valleys. And the Lord still blessed me with the life that I'm currently living, with Dane. When I think back on all of the awesome, crazy, somewhat stupid, neat things I've done over the past 4 years, the time I've had with Dane overshadows it all. And there's still so much left! AH! I'm blessed and I'm so happy to have a powerful, loving God and a loving and caring husband. It might be a little gooby, but it's the truth :)

Anyways, here are some pictures of big and little happenings over the past few weeks! Bear with me, I might get a little carried away.

Dane got his new waders! He was excited! Haha
The Bufords came over for a wonderful Sunday afternoon cookout and hangout. You just can't resist this little princess! She's so precious. Chasing bubbles in her tutu with her Disney princess swimming pool near-by. Love it!
Another picture of our Sunday afternoon with the Bufords :)
Dane fixed our kitchen table! I love this table.
We had a rainbow actually end in our backyard. No pot of gold, but there was a lake!
Ann's birthday dance. Happy Birthday Big Ab and Ann! We love y'all so much and y'all are by far the best in-laws I've ever had (and the only ones... haha). But really, y'all are so awesome to us and we love you both!
Big Ab playing a little air saxophone. Gettin' it!
Ann with her favorite children. Haha

The fam (minus Ab, Kristin, and Clara).

Now, we have a new addition to our family. I've waited until the last minute to put this up because it's a big deal. We're so happy to finally have one! She's so pretty and cute and I'm pretty sure I love her wayyy more than Dane does. BUT - nonetheless, we're excited!
Meet my red, Viking, 5 quart stand mixer! YAY! Haha I love her!

Please be thinking and praying for us as we are both now unemployed and looking for jobs. It's scary, but the important thing is that we keep Him first. He is powerful and He is in control. We're so blessed to have made it this far! Thank You God for keeping us safe and together in a time of so much uncertainty.
