Our New Wall Art!!!!

Another day off work, and look what we accomplished!

Devon was was gracious to come over and help me put up the new wall tattoo I bought at Hobby Lobby. After a few lost breaths, we made it through and it looks great!!!! Below are some pictures of the process.

Holding our breath, through the smiles of course!

Halfway done...

TaDaaaa!!!

Now all we need are some window treatments!!!

Look What The WIND BLEW In.....

So after a pretty bad windstorm that blew through Louisville this past Sunday, the city has been in a whirl. There were hundreds of thousands of people left without power and many homes and buildings were left with damage, mainly from fallen trees. Jim and I were very lucky to have power the WHOLE time. We didn't loose our power once, we are very thankful and realize how fortunate we are because there are still people without power.

Because of the windstorm, there were many schools that lost power or had damage to their structure. Because of this, JCPS cancelled school all week, so therefore I have had an unofficial fall break this week.

I have had a great time picking where to eat lunch each day with my mom and my great friend Devon! Check out her blog to see the picture of us at lunch yesterday!

Wednesday night Jim and I, along with my mom and Kenny were able to go to the Louisville football game. We had a great time! Luckily the stadium had their power restored, because the game was at 8:00pm.

It was a double treat because not only did the CARDS win, but the great Muhamad Ali was there for a visit!

(PS I did get my nachos with extra peppers!)

TOO FUNNY......

As I was doing "School Work" I stumbled upon this great site: www.yearbookyourself.com! Check out what Jim and I would have looked like in the "older" days!!!


Who knows, there might be more to come....after the homework is complete of course :o)

Wow...time flies

So it has been a while since I have posted last, but life has been quite busy! Not only have my students started coming to school, my college classes have begun as well. Jim is taking one class this semester, so he keeps busy with work and school too. Louisville football season is in full swing and we of course attend the home games to support our CARDS!!!

Anyway, since it has been busy, I guess I have forgot to post, so here is the hodgepodge of some things that have happened!

Jim's parents came to visit us Labor Day weekend, and we had a great time! We were able to get some good quality visiting done since it was a long weekend and we didn't have to worry about work and school stuff. The Sunday before Labor Day was the U of L/ U of K game, and of course around here, that is a major deal. Jim Sr. and Renee were able to go to the game with us, and despite the 90 degree heat, we had a good time. We had high hopes for our Cardinals, and even though they played a pretty embarrassing game, we showed our support to the team!

The next morning when we woke up, we went outside to our yard and house decorated. It seems that some U of K fans had a great time in the middle of the night with our house. It was a shame that it was decorated with such UGLY pictures and words :o)

Below are the pictures: (by the way this was all done with Post-It's)





The next Saturday, Jim and I went to another U of L game. This time, it wasn't as hot outside and the Cards won, so overall we had a better time....oh and I was able to get my nachos with extra peppers which usually gets me through one quarter without asking questions about the game, which Jim has probably answered 100 times. We were happy that the Cards started to regain their name when they beat Tennessee Tech by 40 points. Football sure makes us happy, Jim loves watching the game, and I love the Nachos with extra peppers!!!! :o)

This week we will be cheering on the Cards again. The game is Wednesday night, and we hope the outcome is more like their second game and less like the first!
