Prayers

Please be praying for Travis and all of the Dickson family. At some point yesterday is Grandmother was admitted to the hospital with Congestive Heart Failure. Because of our lack of conversations with Travis' side of the family we don't know very many details. We just know she is bad shape, and the doctor has told Travis' aunt to inform the kids so that they could say their last goodbyes. Travis has not had a chance to see his grandmother in some time. I will keep you all posted as we hear what is going on. Until then please be praying for them in this hard time.

Happy Late Valentines Day

Yesterday, was Valentines day. We didn't really do anything grand. We got up and went to church, and then came home and had family over for lunch. My dad, brother, uncle, and cousins are all gone on a goose hunt. So when they left their wives alone for Valentines day I thought I would pick up the slack and make their day! Well Friday night I decided to have mom and Aunt Sandy over for lunch, but that wasn't enough. I just thought it wouldn't be fair if I didn't invite Grandmother and Granddad as well. So they all agreed to join us! We quickly came home from church and started lunch. It was so much fun to have everyone here and talk and share a meal. When we were done, mom, aunt sandy, and myself went to the mall to do some shopping. No it wasn't your typical Valentines day, but it was still fun none the less.

I did realize that as of this Valentines day, me and Travis have officially celebrated every holiday together for the first time! Since he was gone the first year of our marriage, we had to make up for it during the second year. And we finally did it! Every holiday has been celebrated!!! Now we are looking forward to our 2 year anniversary coming up in a couple of weeks!!!!!

Happy Birthday Dewy!

That's right! Dewy turns 2 years old today. I know, most of you don't care. But it is exciting for us. We didn't do much obviously, but she did get a can of wet dog food, and 2 bones which were gone in the time it takes you to read this! And the best part, at least for her was Kyle came and visited her. Actually, he came to play video games with Travis, but she was thrilled to see him none the less. We love her, and are happy we have had her for almost 2 years, (that comes next month!)

We need your votes!

We really do! The lady who did our engagement/wedding photos and our Christmas card photos is running a contest. They picked several of their favorites shoots they nominated them. We were one of the ones that were picked! YIPEE! So we need everyone to vote, you can vote once a day. And it goes till the end of February. All you have to do is go to her blog which is

Can you believe it is February already. Wow, time really does fly! Nothing much has really been going on here at our place.

Travis- well he works and has been working really hard on trying to get all the paperwork finished so that we can go active duty. We had hoped to be moved by now, but it looks like we will be here through the end of the month or even until next month. But we are trying to remind ourselves on a daily bases that this is all in God's hands and we must trust him.

Me- like Travis I am always working! Well, not always, but alot. We both are spending lots of time trying to soak up our nephews, and Brandi! We love spending time with them all. And Zach and Wyatt are just so darn cute. We are going to be sooooo soooo sad to see them go back. It's just way to far.

Dewy is the same as always. Except she seems to be loving on me more than usually. I think we might be hitting a milestone in her life. I honestly think she has hit a new level of calmness. Now if you have ever met her you know she is a energetic dog. But lately she seems to have calmed down a little. Now she still has her moments of fun runs, but has also become so much more snuggly. Which of course is my favorite thing! She will soon be 2 years old. It's hard to believe that we rescued her almost 2 years ago! We love her.

We are just go through life working and chilling with the family. Hopefully I will get back into posting more stuff then I have the last month. Brandi is just so darn distracting! But we love her
