I'm a Grandma!!!!

Bootsie finally had her babies! She gave birth to 6 tiny little kittens this morning. Rick didn't realize that she was even giving birth until the whole process was almost over. He realized it when he started hearing little meows. He gave me a call at work and I was home in 3 minutes (it usually takes me around 5 to get home!). It will be a fun eight weeks and than they will all need to find new homes. If you're interested let me know!

Susan and the kids have already chosen their little kitty to take home!

8th Wedding Anniversary!

Rick and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary on the 26th of this month! Time flies so fast. Here's a little comparision of where we were 8 years ago compared to today-

Then: Only one child (Nicholas - 4 years old)

Now: House full of kids and animals (Nicholas age 12, Ellie age 5, and Aiden age 3). To date we have 2 cats (soon to be many more, Bootsie is prego and due any day!) and 1 fish that's swimming and 2 that are floating.

Then: Apartment living - rent $625 a month

Now: Home owners - Mortgage way too high to disclose (more than double what it was 8 years ago!)

Then: Not active in church at all

Now: Very active (in fact it's pretty rare that we miss a Sunday). I currently teach Aiden's primary class and love every second of it!

Then: Rick - 20 lbs. lighter, Lindsay 10 lbs. lighter

Now: Just bought a treadmill and will be back at that pre-wedding weight at no time!

Then: Lindsay - full time college student and working at a pharmacy as a technician. Rick - working construction as a rough framer (lucky to get a 30 hour work week in!)

Now: Lindsay - full time sales position with Wireless Resources, Inc. Rick - full time postion with The Home Depot (he's working on 7 years!!)

We've come a long way over the last 8 years! Happy Anniversary Rick!
