Happy 10 Year Anniversary!

It's hard to believe that 10 years have already passed since Russell and Leslie were married. They have lived in Nashville, Birmingham, The Woodlands, and now Clarksville and are the parents of 3 boys that I adore. I am so proud of all that they have accomplished in these 10 years !

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday wishes to Russell Pigg!
Happy Birthday wishes to Daniel Pigue!

This is the Day!

Today's Scripture
"This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Every day that we are given is a precious gift from Almighty God. We should wake up every morning with a grateful attitude, full of faith and expectancy for what the Lord has in store. Sure, you may be facing some challenges in your every day life, or maybe things aren't going the way you planned, but remember, each new day is a chance to stand strong in the midst of adversity and see the faithfulness of God. Every new day is an opportunity to praise and thank Him; to magnify your God instead of magnifying your problems. This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Be glad that God has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Be glad that God has given you a sound, healthy mind. Rejoice that He is making a way where there seems to be no way! As you focus on the gift of every day and rejoice in what God has done in your life, you will begin to experience His increase and blessings. You'll rise up higher and set the course to live in victory all the days of your life!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, today I choose to rejoice in You. Thank You for this day and for every opportunity that You've given me to bless and praise You. I give You everything I am today and always. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Believe me, there was no detail left off of Leslie's list to make this the perfect Ball Birthday Party for Connor Cline Pigg. The weather turned out perfect and the giant slide and all the different ball booths made for a great time for the children. The concession stand was all set up and everything was "themed" ( I love a good theme party!). Connor was so sweet and very attentive to all his guests. It was a great time for all!

Connor turning 4!

He made his offer!!!

Tonight Brad and I went with Patrick to look at this little house at 1410 Mohawk Trail

we all fell in love with it and Patrick was ready to put a contract on it!!! I would have made Corinne so proud, I met the neighbor and I know her history and all the surrounding neighbors as well! Brad had already researched this house for several days and we were all delighted with how well it has been taken care of. It is very clean and has enough storage buildings in the back to hold all of our stuff that is in Mom's garage and then some! It has a huge fenced yard, front and back and a great deck with flowers blooming everywhere!

Susan was so patient and explained every page to him and he was so serious and attentive. Then we all voted on the price he would offer and then it was done. He put his earnest money down and Susan will deliver the contract to the other agent tonight. Now we just have to pray that it all comes through for him and he will be living in almost walking distance from us!!!

Mike was very helpful in encouraging Patrick with ideas for entertaining the ladies!

My baby boy soon to be a homeowner!!!!! He was so happy and so cute as we discussed what furniture would go in each room. It has mauve carpet in the living room but it is very clean mauve carpet and will match his green sofa and loveseat from Emily and Jackson perfect.

As we were leaving he said " Did you see that hot girl walking her dog"? "I need to get a dog or maybe some chairs to sit out on the front porch" That's Patrick, always thinkging ahead!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to Jerry Pigue!!

He is growing up.....(kinda)

Today, Patrick met his other mother (Susan Greene) to look at a little house on Lanier in Madison that he is interested in buying! He has gone and filled out all the papers to get his financing lined up and listened to both of his mothers on what is involved in being a homeowner! He will have to learn to cut grass and do constant maintenance especially on an older type home. He says he is ready! There are not alot of homes for sale in his price range but, the main thing is something to get him started. He can just about fill up a house with all of his treasures that he has accumulated from family members as they have moved or bought new stuff.

Look how adorable!!!

Emily sent me these new pictures made of Anni this week. She is so beautiful and full of personality too!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Mark Smith!

Pray for Cheryl

Please be in prayer for Cheryl like never before. She is in such pain and all of her numbers are no where near where they need to be. Her life is such a true testimony of faith and trusting in God. I know this is just a setback for her but she really needs us to kick it into high gear right now.

His Grace is Enough

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (II Corinthians 12:9).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Grace is God’s unmerited favor. It’s kindness from Him that we don’t deserve. Grace empowers us and strengthens us. No matter what has happened in your past, you can receive God’s grace and forgiveness and start fresh today. You can hold your head up high because His grace is enough. You may not be perfect, but you are forgiven. When you go around holding on to your past mistakes or think you have to try to make things up to God, it’s like saying that His grace isn’t enough. Jesus has already paid for your mistakes. All you have to do is receive His grace today and thank Him for His favor and empowerment in your life. In the same way, extend that grace to others. Don’t try to punish people for their past mistakes; instead, give them favor to start over. As you allow God’s grace to flow through you, you will be strengthened and empowered. You’ll see yourself rise higher, and you will enjoy God’s blessing in every area of your life.

A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness and grace today. I receive Your strength and favor in my life. Help me to extend that grace to others. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Another great day!

I was determined to see Sex and the City ASAP! After Leslie's report, I knew that I would not be disappointed. It was great. I laughed and cried and laughed some more and I want to see it again. I used to look so forward to Sunday night and watching this show and I love the friendships these girls have. They are so different and so similar.

Mom and I met Corinne for the 1:30 show after lunch at Calhouns.

We took a self portrait to capture this time together!

Then it was home for the grilled hamburgers we were promised on Memorial Day that was postponed due to rain.

Jerry and Sandra came by to see all the renovations going on around here. Sandra brought us a quiche and ribeye steaks that we will enjoy later in the week.

More Anniversary posting....

Brad made reservations for us to have dinner at our favorite place,
Sole Mio at 6:00 pm. We decided to eat inside because it was 90 degrees and we were afraid it would be too hot outside. We started off with a glass of wine and a toast. We had an appetizer of Antipasti that was delicious served with their wonderful bread. I ALWAYS order the same thing, I figure why mess with something perfect? But tonight, I had the Chateaubriand (rare fillet medallions with Bearnaise sauce) and steamed string beans. It was fabulous! Brad got a dish that had pasta, some type of cream sauce with shrimp, mussels, red snapper, clams and cherry tomatoes. He loved it and was glad he tried something new. Then, we had our usual Tiramisu and our server gave us a New York Style cheesecake with strawberries when she found out it was our anniversary.
















Then we drove around downtown to see what was going on and then home. It was a wonderful night and a wonderful celebration of our 6 years together!

We always do a funny and a serious card. This was my funny! It just cracked me up!

Celebrating 6 Years Anniversay!

2002- 2008

I can not wait until I get to go see this new movie! It starts tomorrow and I really hope to see it this weekend. Being the true romantic at heart, I sure hope Carrie and Mr. Big end up together!

A Good Day!

This morning Mom called and said when she gets home from work today, she is coming over with dinner! The painter was here finishing up Patrick's old room and I had lots of insurance filing and work to do and before I knew it, Mom called and said she was on the way. We had the nicest time and she told me all about her trip to Mississippi. She had her basket filled with food. We had a great dinner and we watched a little bit of TV and then she had to go. We both wished that she had brought her pj's and she could just spend the night. Brad had to work late catching up after being off for a few days. I am tired but have had a nice day. Back to work tomorrow!

Happy Memorial Day!

Today we had planned on Patrick coming over and we were going to have a cookout. He was going to grill us hamburgers. Well, the rained nixed that plan so we went to Whitt's and got barbecue and baked beans and had our get together inside! It was fun having Patrick and his friend Taylor over, it seemed like old times listening to them laugh and holler as they watched TV. Tomorrow I go to work and Brad has another day off !

Here are some pictures from today, Brad doesn't like to have his picture made as much as Patrick and I do!

Busy Busy Week around here!

Well it all started last week when we were at Tom and Starr's house. Brad fell in love with the paint color in their living room so... it led to having the den redone. The dogs had ruined the carpet in there and it had been cleaned way too many times so up it went in the trash! His new TV came Wednesday ( early anniversay gift) the painting and the new floor got finished yesterday. Now all he needs in there is new furniture, window treatements, and things for the wall! It will be a slow process to fund all that so for now we are very happy that it smells good and we have a TV that does not cut off right in the middle of our shows! Here is a before picture.....

Here is a picture of it now!!!

Then, we have been searching for a cover for our swing on the deck and today Linens and Things had this gazebo cover on sale so ....Brad spent all day today outside cleaning the deck and securing the the cover so now we can sit out there and enjoy the view! Here is a before picture...

Now, all cleaned up!

Today is Sweet Wayne Benton's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Wayne We love you!!!!!!!!
