good eating, good laughs, good shopping, great wedding

Savannah, Georgia...It's beautiful, great weather, historic sites, good eating, good shopping and one great wedding! We went this past weekend to Savannah for the wedding of Goose's brother...Ryan. He and Maggie choose Savannah for their wedding after visiting there last year. Luckily, we got to tag along for it! Here are a few pictures from our weekend....

Right when we got to Savannah: Derek, Jo Lynn, Bill & Ryan


Us in front of Paula Deen's - Lady & Son's. We ate there the first night we were in Savannah.


We went back to get pictures in the Daylight...


Afterwards, we went to her store...only to find her two sons chillin'! How cool! We didn't get their picture there, but later we saw them walking down the streets of Savannah...here's the youngest son.


Here we are at the "Rehearsal Dinner". It was held at Vic's On the River Restaurant. Another great place to eat with a beautiful view of the river that separates Georgia and South Carolina.



The bride and groom the night before they became Mr. & Mrs.



I tried to be 'photographer' and get a cool shot of the wedding bands.



NieNie and Goose after the wedding....and baby Ray! :)



Before we left to come home, we drove up into South Carolina to visit Hilton Head. It's a beautiful island about 30 minutes north of Savannah.



Again, it was a wonderful weekend! The 'real' photographer has a blog with a few pictures that she took....here it is.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ray!!!

What a miracle!

There are just no words to explain seeing your own child growing inside of you for the first time....


This one...he/she is waving to us. Goose says he/she is putting their 'guns up' for Texas Tech Red Raiders! Whatever!


This one shows the head and body...I know...12 weeks you can hardly make out anything, but in real live action...it's perfect!


This one, the doctor was measuring...7 cm long!

we're moving!

Yep, we are! Researching houses/cities/states/countries to move to! Somewhere in this great world has to be a place that has NO EIGHT LEGGED CREATURES that we call spiders. Somewhere....

First, I go outside today to check the mail...neighbors are outside. Wife is holding a cup with plastic over it...BIG, HUGE, HAIRY tarantula that her two young boys found across the street. Then, I decide to wash a load of towels. I'm putting them in the washing machine and BIG, HUGE one comes out from the towels and under the washer he goes! I scream for Goose and he comes running. He sprays Off under there because that's all we could find. THEN, I decide to take a shower. I'm enjoying a nice, hot shower and BIG, HUGE one is hanging from my poof ball! GEEZ! oh, That's not all! I get out of the shower and walk into the kitchen...BIG, HUGE one just sitting there! Poor Goose...he's my hero tonight.

We're getting Kirby and moving--no packing, because they'll come with us...any suggestions on a good location without eight legged creatures???????

Rain, Rain....

Don't go away....for the past couple of days we've woken up the most beautiful rain showers. It's so refreshing! Here are some results of the rain...
