Crown Moulding

House updates...We started off the New Year with a few house projects! Dean was itching to go to Home Depot and learn new crafts...so, crown moulding it was!! It looks awesome and it only took a long weekend to complete 2 rooms and a bathroom. I have to admit that the only help I was to the whole project was painting. Enjoy the pictures below....they really don't do it justice, but at least you can get a glimpse of what a great job Dean did.

Mountain Pictures

On Saturday we hiked up to Max Patch, a point on the AT, with Scott and some of his friends. We stopped to take this pic along the way...and take a short rest before we got to the top.

Taking a walk down to the new road to see our lot & Scott's lot - the road is so nice and the area above is a great little place to throw a football around.

Christmas in Knoxville

D.B. & Scott moving a HUGE tree branch that was blocking the drive on Christmas Day. I was in the car with Momma Anne taking the pictures! ;)

Christmas Day


I wanted to share several pictures of our time in Knoxville/NC over Christmas holidays. We had a great time visiting the Farmer family and Gabby enjoyed meeting her new little friend Zoe.

It's About Time...

So, I'm welcoming myself to the blog world...finally. About four months ago I decided that it would be fun to have a blog and share thoughts and happenings with family and friends far away. Well, after spending probably half a day deciding on the background I got a little nervous about what to write. I'm still a little unsure about people wanting to read what I write, but I'm giving it a whirl. I'll call it my early New Year's Pledge. I hope everyone out there will enjoy keeping in-touch with us through this little site.
