Almost 5 years..........

It's been almost 5 years...5 YEARS since I blogged about anything. WOW!! I forgot how much I enjoy writing and leaving my thoughts on paper or should I say a blog/internet! ha!
Man oh man where to begin.......so much has happened in the last few years, I don't even know where to begin:
-I have rediscovered my love for reading.
-I've become addicted to One Tree Hill and have watched all episodes on Netflix.
-My grandmother passed away last March.
-My parents have moved to New Orleans.
-My little brother is now 17 years old.
-Jimmy and I will be married for 6 years in June.
-There have been many many birthdays....Jordan is now 19, Reagan is 14 and Christian is 12 and that 3rd child my BFF was pregnant with is now 3. WOW......life please slow down.
-Jimmy and I packed up and moved from Byram about 3 years ago and we are loving living off Lakeland.
-I'm still with Peterbilt.....still doing the same job but several co-workers have now left.
-Christian is still playing ball.
-He has also accepted Jesus into his heart and was baptized.....Praise the Lord.
-We have been attending Pinelake Baptist Church and we are loving every minute it. Pastor Chip touches my heart with every sermon. If you don't have a church home come join us, we'd love to have ya.
-Jordan moved in with almost 3 years ago, finished her Senior year at our house.
-She has since graduated from Hair School and is OFFICIALLY an adult!! This list could go on and on and on but I'm going to stop for now!!!

It's Been Awhile.....

Baseballer's Prayer

I stole this from one of the dad's from our team, Corey Wolfe, and it's just so awesome that I had to share!!! Thanks Corey for capturing this picture!!

God grant me wisdom,
to tell a strike from a ball,
to know where to throw
and never to fall. Keep me always in the base line,
running straight and true
and I'll look for your sign,
to stretch one into two.
God give me vision,
to see every pitch,
so if a player needs help,
then I will see which.
Let me always hustle,
so I'll be at my best
and take pride in myself,
in sports and the rest.
God be my strength,
when I throw the ball
when I'm far from home plate,
or against a wall.
So I never miss a base,
please guide my feet,
bring me home safely,
so my job is complete.
When I help younger players,
let me always give praise,
so they'll see you in me,
in all of my ways.
God please guide our coach,
to be fair and smart,
to teach us to be good,
let it come from his heart.
Let me take a loss,
just as well as a win,
to do any less,
is surely a sin.
As long as I can play,
let me make my parents proud,
as proud as I am,
when they yell MY name out loud.
However my games end,
let me always have fun
and if Heaven has All Stars,
I want to be one.
When my games here are over
and my seasons are done,
let me play on your team.
just like your son.
Amen.



Old Waverly Golf Course West Point, MS

This past week I have been in West Point, MS for Warranty training on Paccar Engines..........The owner of Peterbilt Truck Centers (my place of employment) let us stay in his lodge on the golf course.  Here are a few pictures of the lodge.
