Happy 2nd Birthday!!

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Gentry, this is a day we will never forget! For 9 months, we prayed for you and waited patiently for your arrival. Your parents decided not to find out if your Aunt & Uncle would have a niece or a nephew. (Can you believe them?) Well, the waiting and guessing was finally over on April 16, and we were thrilled to get the news that we had a nephew!

You are a blessing, and we thank God for you every day!! We can't wait to celebrate!! Happy 2nd Birthday Gentry!!

Great Movie

Last night, we had a fun night with Matt, Liz, Chris, and Britney. We met for dinner at the Underwood's, and then we went to see the movie The Grace Card. I have been wanting to see this movie since the director spoke at church a couple of months ago. The movie is set in Memphis, which is another reason why I was interested. Now, the acting is not the best, but the message is incredible. Please visit this website http://www.thegracecardmovie.com/ to learn more about the movie and to find a theater near you.

Friends

Well, let me take a minute to introduce you to some of the most wonderful, amazing, supportive, loving, beautiful, caring friends in the world!! We have been through everything together, and somehow we have managed to come out stronger. I do not know what I would do without these friends! I am so thankful God placed them in my life, and I am even more grateful for the close friendship we share!! I love you girls!!

Codi, Mary Brook, me, Melissa, and Elizabeth
They kidnapped me a few nights before my wedding,
so we could have one last sleepover as 5 single ladies.

Yes, we are wearing the same dress!
Actually, Mary Brook and I showed up to Codi's lingerie
shower wearing the dress, and everyone else decided to buy
the dress as a joke. Lots of laughter with these girls!!

This picture was taken the night before Melissa's wedding.
We were using the self-timer and anything we could find.

Today is a special day for all of us. First, I want to wish a very special 27th birthday to Elizabeth. Hope your day has been wonderful, because that is what you deserve. Thanks for being an incredible friend since the 1st Grade. You are amazing, and I love you so much!!

I received a wonderful surprise this morning when Mary Brook called to tell me... she is engaged!! Congrats Mary Brook and Graig!! I am so excited for you, and can't wait for all the wedding fun.

What a blessing to have wonderful friends!! I love you girls, more than you know!!
