Hey Everyone! No I didn't forget about my poor little blog

Its been a while I know... But I've been busy creating and building my new facebook! Facebook is the largest online social network in America at the moment and I had to be a part of it!! The great perk about Facebook is it really allows you as much security as you like as well as a simple interface that doesn't force me to spend hours upon hours just decorating and downloading wallpapers. My Space, was just too much work. I know I know, you don't have to decorate your page, but if you don't know one whats to look at it.. SO, I'm a facebook fan! Look for me and I'll be your friend if you'll be mine!

Anyway, we are doing great here in Kentucky. Emily started 1st grade and loved her first week of school. Tucker is going to daycare, kicking, clawing and screaming... Tony even has scars on his face to prove it. However with in 1 minute of us being out of sight, he is perfectly fine and plays non-stop. My only major complaint at this point is that one of his teachers keep calling him "Trucker" Oh well, guess I should have saw that coming.

I have started my job with Cre8tive Group as the Account Executive. I've been back at work for 2 weeks and, so far so good. I am still in the sinking into my role phase, but I am getting busier and busier day by day.

We have enjoyed our Church hopping experience so far but think we may have found our place. I am torn and think I can be involved with both churches to some extent. We will see. Tony and I talked just this morning about our need to pray about the situation and where we could be most useful to him.

Tony "kicked-off" the practice season last night... or this morning at 12:01am. Yes thats right! Midnight Madness practice. Needless to say Coach White is stuggling today as he did not get home until about 4am. I honestly don't know how he is standing straight. He is back up at the office preparing to practice again today (sunday) at 5 ish.

I know its crazy but I sort of like this time of year as we gear up for the season. The excitement builds and I begin to get eager to get to the stadium for the first game. I think as a coach's wife, you either love it or you hate it and there is not much room for gray area.

Well, the kids are yelling.. "park park park" so here we go, across the street to our little neighborhood park. Ya'll have a great day! Love you!

rules

Here is a great article on Discipline rules that work!

We will be implementing these at my house.

Danville, Ky

Well, we are now officially Danville, KY residents! We are moved in for the most part. Still need to hang some pictures and and find a couple misplaced boxes, but we are here.

Tony is back at work. Emily is already taking Gymnastics and swimming lessons, and will be taking part in a Vacation Bible school next week. I started a Bible study last week with a group of ladies with the head coach's wife, Cindy Frye. Tucker is just trying to keep up with his big sister. So we are doing our best to dive in and get involved in the community. Everyone has really been great in the community and made us feel very welcomed. Several neighbors brought treats and food as we moved in over the past couple weeks.

I think this is the first place I have lived where anyone has done that! We have met several families at the park, which is across the street from our house!

Our house is very charming, nice and cozy, but maybe a bit too cozy. (I don't have a dishwasher- I don't think I have ever lived in a house without a dishwasher!) We are currently renting and may look to purchase a home later. That all depends upon my job. I am still looking. I have had an interview with a small marketing firm in a nearby town about 25minutes from here. They say they are interested in me and will contact me for a second interview soon. So, calling all prayer warriors... I need a job. The college has talked with me, but there doesn't seem to be an opening for me right now.

All in His time... I keep repeating that to myself. I am enjoying the time with the kids and it will be a challenge heading back into the workforce.

Love you all! I post new pics soon! Both Em and Tucker are sporting haircuts!

Even MORE Pictures...

I finally made it to a studio to get the kids pictures made. Poor Tucker.. I can't keep up with myself and my photo habit I had with Emily... These turned out pretty good. I got these at Portrait Innovations. It was my first time to go and it was pretty cool. They gave me the digital disk of all our pictures. You also get your pictures before you leave!

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

Moving to Kentucky!

For those of you who do not know, we are moving to Kentucky! Tony Joe was recently offered a position with Centre College to serve as their Offensive Coordinator. This is a great opportunity for us and we are all excited. The bad news is that Tony is already gone to KY. So the kids and I are on our own! We are doing good and the kids are going on with their routines.

We hope to be all together again by the End of May. We are letting Emily finish her school year and then we will move. Meredith is on the job hunt, so if you know someone in Danville or Lexington,KY.. let me know!
