Crabtree Christmas

On Saturday before Christmas we all made our traditional Christmas trip to Rockwood for the Crabtree Christmas. We ate dinner at Cracker Barrel and then on to Wayne's (Bob's Mom) for dessert and presents. As always we had a fun time!

O Christmas Tree

Our family loves Christmas...that could be why Mama and Bob's house has been decorated since October! Actually, Mama had the house decorated early because she wanted it to be ready for Kiley to see when they came in a few weeks ago. We are definitely enjoying it! I just had to share these pictures of a few of the decorations!






Celebrity Dog Groomers!?!

This was too good to share...apparently Stormie and Brody go to a "celebrity dog groomer." After Miss Cathy came in her mobile grooming unit on Monday to give the dogs their monthly cut, she informed us she had just groomed Smokey on Friday to prepare him for the Arkansas game. You can watch watch the video at the link below. This is just so wild to us...we have been using Miss Cathy for such a long time...long before she became so famous!


Here is a picture of Me, Stormie, and Brody (this was before their grooming).


I love this picture of Brody!

Update on the Condo

On Monday we should have closed on our condo...but we didn't. The man who was supposed to be purchasing our now empty condo dropped off the face of the earth about two weeks ago! The attempts by the Real Estate Agents and Brokers to find our mystery "home buyer" man have been unsuccessful. This information would have been useful 3 weeks ago when we packed up our condo, put in a Pod, and sent it off to the warehouse...but "hey" we're learning to go with the flow! We have no doubt that God is in complete control of this and it is part of His ultimate plan. As always we are sure God is molding and shaping us through this situation. But, now we ask for your prayers once again that our condo would sell in God's perfect timing!

Funny thing...a friend emailed me today for my address...don't know! Actually we are living with Mama and Bob until our future home is ready!

Wonder if one day we'll know where our mystery man really is...disappeared, coma, called out of the country last minute, or could he be in the slammer!?! We may never know! I guess for now...to be continued....
