Welcome Sarah Kate!!

We are so excited to join our friends Brad and Allison in welcoming their new addition to the world Sarah Kate Murfee!!!! Brad and Allison had a great amount of discipline and waited until the birth-day to find out what they were having. All were thrilled at HER arrival! Welcome to the world Sarah Kate!!!

New Semester

Its a new semester and as Adam so sweetly wrote I have transitioned into a new job. The Lord worked in an amazing way opening the doors for this position and I love being back in the classroom. I am building my stamina back up and my vocal cords. Its going to be a great semester. We are claiming it!
"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life."

Happy Birthday Chuck

Adam and I want to wish extra special Happy Birthday to his dad, Chuck today on his 55th birthday!!!!

 

We hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter.I wish we could be with you to celebrate!!!
We love you. Amy, Adam and Albe!

Big Congratulations and Thank you!!

First of all, I want to start this off by congratulating Amy on her new position as an instructor in the Department of Communication. This is a wonderful job for Amy, as she is a great teacher and will have a positive influence on so many students. It's really neat that we both work at the university, but in different departments. The Lord has truly blessed us with these jobs!!

Second, I want to thank Amy for taking the trip with me to St. Louis. As she wrote yesterday, I have an obsession with the Cardinals, and she has put up with this the whole time we have been together. I told her the Cardinals won the World Series in October (2006), and then we met a month later, so I had some really good things going on in my life!! Our first Cardinals game together was two years ago in Atlanta; I got sick at the game and we had to leave early and missed the Cardinals dramatic victory. But, she went with me to watch them beat the Braves last year and to St. Louis this year, where they split the two games we went to. Albert even hit a home run on Tuesday night. We had such a wonderful time and couldn't have gotten a better hotel room if we picked it out ourselves!! I really enjoy our travels together and look forward to the future when we have children to travel with as well (I think I'm looking forward to traveling with the kids, check back in a few years for verification). Anyway, we had a great time, but now it's back to work as the Fall semester begins on Monday.

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!!!!
