Boogety Boogety Boogety - Let's Go Racing!

It is so much fun to have friends and family fill the house!

Every year I find this party less stressful and more fun.

Sue and Stan - thanks so much for coming! We love you guys!

Well, it's hard to believe it is already time for NASCAR races to start again. I must admit, I find myself a little more interested in it each season. Don't get excited, Brad...I said a LITTLE! This year the Daytona 500 was actually quite eventful - well, at least the end of it was! I could not believe it when I found myself yelling at the tv as Mark Martin and Kevin Harvick raced to the finish line. Like I even care!!! But I got caught up in the excitement of it all, I guess! I have officially decided to root for Kurt Bush with Brad. Now I just need a shirt to wear each week. I can promise you this...if you would have told me 5 years ago that I would be married to a race fan and that I would even be able to name some of the drivers...I would have laughed really hard and told you that you were CRAZY! Yes, life is full of surprises! But I wouldn't change it for anything. Hope you enjoy the pictures :)

Chuck and Lois - so cute!

A man and his man-wife...it's a beautiful thing!

Look how happy I am...this must have

been taken AFTER the race!!!

Hee Haw!

No, this is not our permanent new look (although Brad would give anything to be able to wear those overalls every day!) This is a picture of us at the Hee Haw Dinner our small group recently put on at church. We had SO much fun being hillbillies...for some of us it took more acting than for others! We cooked dinner for about 130 people and then we had a hilarious talent competition that made me laugh really hard. It was great to see people get into the spirit of the evening and to have fun with people that I often see only on Sunday mornings. It was a whole lot of fun, a whole lot of work, and a whole lot of plaid!!!
