House for Sale







Well this is our beautiful home! If you know of anyone that is looking for a new home, tell them to give us a call! 3/2/ 1950 sqft. built 2006 .35 acres

God of Timing!

Isn't He amazing! Our house has been up for sell for a little over 6 months! We have had a couple offers and a lot of lookers! I am so thankful that I do not have to worry about all of these so called "stressful" times. (That doesn't mean that I dont) Zane starts his new job in Longview right after Christmas. We are not sure if he will commute or if he will stay in a hotel during the week! Those of you that are not familiar with the locations...Longview is approx. a 50 minute drive to Mt. Pleasant! Thank the Lord above that gas has gone down! You know...I just throw my hands up and get on my knees and say Lord "It is Your will and I pray that you will reveal your plan to us, I know that you are capable of handling this situation all on your own and I am in complete understanding of your actions. Lord, please give our family the strength that we need to make it through this time of growing. I believe in you Father, and I am asking you to carry my family in the palm of your hands, close to your heart. God, I know that there are so many families out there that are going through much worse situations, and what ever your plan is for them, I ask that you reveal your self to them so that they know you love them with all of your heart! Thanks for all that you do, in your name I pray! Amen

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

WOW~ This book is AWESOME! I wish that I would have read it 10 years ago! The hardest thing that I am going to have to over come is the fear that people are going to judge me by our house and our cars! It doesn't bother me to down size at ALL! It just bothers me that people judge others by their so called "assets". Zane and I are on a mission to retire way before most people our age!
So far there are two statements in this book that just made me realize that I am doing the right thing by starting my own business! 1) The fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their financial problems. 2) A job is only a short-term solution to a long-term problem. When people look at my business and tell me that they are not interested it just blows my mind! To me they are basically saying..."I love my job and I want to work forever" or "I have all the time in the world to worry about retirement" or "I don't have time to work a part time business because I would rather watch TV when I get home from work"
Maybe this is the coach coming out in me....but I just don't get people's way of thinking sometimes! Why are we helping others reach their financial goals? When did we stop dreaming financially? Why do we think that our jobs are always going to be there? Retirement...will there be such a thing 30 years from now! I just want people to look at their next pay check and ask themselves...."Is this all I am worth?"
What a doll!

And of course our little man!

GOD IS AMAZING! WHAT A BLESSING!

Our first Mother and Son beach trip!

Corbin's first time in the ocean! He fell down and got a mouth full of salty water!


He is such a little Man!

This was the view out of our hotel window! Beautiful! This was just a few weekends after hurricane Ike! It missed Corpus, but unfortunately it hit Galveston.



Sitting on the seawall! It was so nice there at night!

He was watching Blue's Clues for 5 minutes and then he was OUT!


Back in early October I had to take a trip to Corpus Christi! Yes...I was in a car for 16 hours with a two year old! We had a blast! I had to go to Corpus on business! When you own your own business, "business trips" aren't really "business trips". Grammy got to go with us to help out!






It's Finally Fall

Needle in a hay stack!

Mama! LOOK PUNKINS!


JUST MY SIZE!


There was a choo choo about 100 yards away that kept making these awful noises! So just was I was about to take a picture he would start screaming!


Trace showing off his muscles! Corbin...well I don't know what he is doing!
Elmo looks like he has had ENOUGH!

Good thing I am not a professional photographer! Hello Shadow!

True Friends

How long has it been since you have laughed until it hurt? When is the last time you called a friend and as soon as you heard their voice you just cried? For me...that has been since high school! And the funny thing is that I can't even get those girls on the phone! I truly miss having a friend like that. I miss laughing until it hurts! How do you get that back with kids, work, and all the OTHER stuff that goes on everyday! When do you get too old to call a girlfriend everyday just to see how their day was? I hope one day I will have that BFF again!

About Our Family

My photo
I am so thankful for the wonderful family that God has allowed me to have! Zane and I met in Lubbock at SAM'S CLUB! We dated for a year and then we were engaged for a year! We married on June 21, 2003. Our oldest son, Corbin, was born on June 27, 2006, and our newest addition to the family was born on June 13, 2008. SERIOUSLY, DO YOU THINK WE CAN ADD SOME MORE EVENTS IN JUNE!
