Oh, How the Years Go By

Channel Amy Grant. Last week during the snowstorm debacle of 2011, one of our pipes burst GASP! Joe even "wrapped" it.


Proof there was precipitation- icicles :)


We got a call from a neighbor saying his driveway was flooding thanks to our hose/facet. Joe raced home. I, on the other hand, continued lunch with friends, ha! Full discloser, the neighbor turned the water off to our house. If you've ever lived anywhere the water is turn off regularly, you know what that means.....1 flush per toilet...that's it! TMI, I know.

Back in the day our kids were ALL over helping Joe, fix ANYTHING!


Exhibit A


Exhibit B


Exhibit C


today, not so much.


Drew prefers to have his Dad work around the house while HE is in the comfort of his game room. This all happened before Hunter got home , so we'll just assume he would have been a model son and helped his Dad.


And Joe prefers not to have a kid between his legs while he doing it :)

Valentine's Day 1998

Hunter had tubes put in his ears that morning and Joe and I were on a committee at church that planned valentine dance that evening.

I had just turned 30, wanna know what I got? My FIRST cell phone, it was HUGE! And a VCR! I won't even watch a movie today unless I can get it "on-demand"! The world has changed so much in 13 short years!
