We're not too old to shake it! (A gun that is)

We were so gld to get to come see Cole in our old stomping grounds!

Of corse we had to hit up Sugar Browns




The coveted yellow slip that means you have a package...still a #1 item in the dorm mailboxes :)



Lyndz' dorm room...




The hall where I spend some of the most joyful, fun, lonely, heartbreaking, and life changing moments of my life...

I cut that hole one crazy night...it had something to do with oranges






We got to see Jen and Coby and Camren... their sweet baby boy

It was so sureal because we had just been by where Jen and i used to live almost 7 years ago!







Bonfire was so awesome!




RRRRRR----S.. RAIDERS! this is for you Lyndz :)




Get that gun up high Josh!


Love this girl!






At Rib Crib... old favorite!




Had to get our pics in with ol Will









So gald we got to take this trip to Tech




Girls in shades





Awesome art on campus!




When we won... it was a sweet victory, Bry couldn't help himself!


The Goin' Band from Raider Land


The bells were ringing







We loved the trip ALMOST as much as Josh loved his Moon Pie









When i think about all the wonderful memories we have of this place... and that first time we were driving up and I said to my parents... wait... where are we? I am not sure I want to do this. And here we are so many years later, so different from when we first came, God has shown Himself to us in a magnificent way here at Tech. We have made lifetime friends, experienced the Father in such intimate moments it's amazing how much has happened in this little place called Lubbock. Just being there... we were running on campus and I could feel His presence.


On our way out we saw these big wind turbines and it was so wild because I felt like it was the visual of what I felt God had done in our lives at Tech... these blades cut through the air and produce something so useful for life for the people around it and it's new and it's something that can't be stored... it can't be kept in... if it's not used it's useless. God's presence is cutting through the hearts of people in Lubbock TX and it's so big and so life changing and it's all they need for life... for their future... and it can't be kept inside! It has to be used up or it's worthless... whatever we have been given from the Lord that we don't use for His glory is useless.

What happens in Canton, stays in Canton...unless you buy it


In canton the word "shopping" doesn't really do it jusice...

One might call it a shop-a-thon of massive proportions. An event that must be trained for, few were made to survive, and requires days of rest once you've reached the end!

Kehnley was so pure... so innocent before entering the anti-flee market of all flee-markets!
Only a half a day in and she is already in need of rest!

Fancy and mamma are pros at this... but even the most trained shopper must stop for food and refuling


Here are the shoping mavens regaining their sprength after a long hard day of giving away money...tomorrow they will need their strength for one LAST round!

You never know what you might "need"...an irom sheep

Kehnley was eyeing that!

Some beautiful crosses that have DOUBLE the inticing factor.. besides an amazing price...money goes towards business owners from Tech ! Now THAT'S school Spirit! WRECK em'Now you tell me...what's more fullfilling than a good ol fashioned con in a cup?
Duh! A turkey Leg...

Kandace is leaving Canton with her cart in her lap and a smile on her face!

Finally enough pop corn to bury you in! Fancy found one ONLY half her size!

There was just enough room to fit all our new finds AND a helper!! I don't think this is going to work next time...daddy needs to buy us a trailer!


All that fun just wears me out...at least I got these fancy canton shoes...

(Spoken like a TRUE Cantonite)

Three Years From Thirty...

Getting flowers on your birthday never gets old! Bry brought me some home and Jen sent me these Tulips to work! It made going to work on my birthday a little easier to bare

Bry took me to Back Street Cafe... it was such great food and really beautiful!



Justin, Jennifer, my aunt Penny, Jen, Lyndz, Nate, the rents, Bry and Khehnley & me had a fun night of dinner and games...turning 3 years from thirty means you can't stay up as late as you used to...we found that out pretty quick!


I love how my mom still breaks out the birthday banner! It makes me feel special.





Justin and Jennifer, so cute!


I love these girls!


Kehnley and Fancy had been working on this surprize for me... I love it!


Thanks to everyone for making my birthday so special.
