Meet me in St. Louis

Adam and I decided to take a little trip before the semester got started back. First we went to Prattville to celebrate at Jackson's 3rd Birthday party. We had a great time. He is such a smart fella and is so fun to just talk to and have a conversation with. He really delights our hearts.

From Prattville we headed to St. Louis. I don't know if I have alluded much in this blog to my husband's LOVE for the Cardinals. Let me reemphasize LOVE. He was so excited about this trip. Adam has been to St. Louis a few times but this was my first time. 9 hours from Prattville, this is what we get to see.


We are checking into to our hotel and we get an upgrade to a suite! How wonderful. We get in our room, pull back the curtains and this is the view. We took this picture from our window. We loved waking up to that and going to bed to it as well.

But you all know what we went to St. Louis for!!!!
The CARDINALS!! We were able to go to 2 games and take a tour of Busch stadium. I will share more pics soon!!!

Albe and the Rain

Well it looks like Starkvegas is going to be waterlogged for the next 3 or 4 days and while that is wonderful for the grass and plants around here, our four legged fella is not so fond of the rain. His excitement over going outside is quickly halted when you open the door and he realizes he is going to have to get wet. Seriously, does he know he is a dog? "Please don't make me go out there, Mom"

It's really quite pitiful. He gets concrete in his feet on the front porch and pitiful eyes begging you to get him a doggie diaper so that he doesn't have to get wet.
So I am proposing we purchase Albe one of these.

How do you think Albe would respond, besides being super cute and picture worthy!!??

Finally Some Pics!

So I promised some pictures from our cruise, and I do keep my promises.

This was in Grand Cayman, after snorkeling. Not sure if this was before or after Adam snorkeled into the boat. :)

This pirate ship was used in Pirates of the Caribbean II. ARRR matees.


A new look we thought we would try out while on vacation. What do you think?

Despite the fact that Cuba was only 90 miles away,there didn't seem to be anybody heading that way.

There are more pictures from our trip here:
Enjoy!!!!

Summer Fun!

Adam and I had a WONDERFUL time on our cruise. In total we were gone for about 12 days. We spent a few in Hattiesburg before the cruise, I had a Dr.'s appt in New Orleans on the Friday before we left so we stayed the night there before catching our plane to Ft. Lauderdale. We spent a day in Ft. Lauderdale which was great fun and then a day and half in Hattiesburg on the return trip. By the time we made it back to Starkvegas, we were all worn out from the vacation. Isn't that sad. Albe slept like a rock when we got home, but he had a blast with his grandparents. Thanks everybody for loving on him. I know he enjoyed being spoiled.

I will do a longer post with more cruise pictures later but as a teaser, one of the best things we did on the trip was parasailing in Key West!!! It was truly amazing. I have wanted to do this for years. It has been on my "list". I am so glad I waited to do it with my husband and did it in a beautiful place. So peaceful and relaxing.

I'm missin' my man!

Albe and I are living the single life Wednesday through Sunday. Adam has gone to a conference in San Antonio. Usually I am the one that leaves town but this time I got left behind and I must admit it stinks!!! I am missing Adam like crazy. Adam really wanted me to go with him, but I am putting on a workshop this week, so duty called and I had to stay behind.

So Albe and I are hanging out. Albe gets off of his restriction tomorrow (remember he has been on heart worm confinement for 2 months. He is SO anxious to play and take long walks). He is going to have the ball ready for Adam when he gets home.

And in other Exciting news...we are counting down to our cruise...9 days! Wahoo.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to you! YOU!!!

Today is not only our anniversary but it is also my wonderful mother-n-law Cindy's birthday!!! I am so blessed to have a wonderful mother-n-law who is encouraging, loving, supportive, and understands what I live with (her son :)

I hope you had a wonderful day Mrs. Cindy. We love you very much!!!

A year ago today...

A year ago today, 06-07-08 I married my best friend. What a wonderfully FULL first year it has been. The Lord has blessed us with lots of laughter, memories, growth, and even tears as we have lost those we love. But He has walked with us through this year, which we feel is the only way that a marriage will be strong.

So what's happened in our first year of marriage? So glad you asked.... This is just a very BRIEF glimpse.

Amazing honeymoon cruise!

Moved to Auburn to join my new husband and start a new job!


Adam writes and defends his dissertation. Introducing Dr. and Mrs. Knight.


We said goodbye to Auburn and hello to MSU. Starkville became our new home.

Our family grew with the addition of Albe.




Like I said this is just a glimpse. As I sit and type Adam and I are dreaming of what this next year holds and the years after that. We are so blessed by our families and friends love and support. It was indeed a Happy Anniversary!!!
