The tree cutting boyz - Brad, Clint, Ryan, and John

Joy and Happiness

This year is proving to be just as wonderful as last year was. As you know, Cheri said yes and now we are planning the wedding!!! It will be August 31, 2013 at the Botanical Gardens and the reception will be at Dusseau's which is where Clint and Amanda's reception was. The shower will be June 30th. Amanda and I are working on planning all the before activities. We are going to Put-in-Bay for the Bachelorette party. I'm super excited about that. I'm so happy Cheri wants me there. The boys are going to Florida for the Bachelor party. That should produce some interesting stories. Amanda is her Matron-of-Honor and Alyssa is her Maid-of-Honor. The bridesmaids are Ashley (John's sister), Christina, Katie, and Megan. John's groomsmen are Cody (brother), Kozzie (best friend), Clint, Charlie, Robert, and I can't remember his other friend (bad mother-in-law). It is going to be one hell of a summer!!!

Clint and Amanda just bought a house. It is literally in Cheri and John's backyard. Their cul-de-sacs back up to one another. Their houses are closer than my house is to my mailbox! We have spend a ton of time over there moving, cutting down trees (at Cheri and John's too), eating dinner, and watching the kids play. Clint and Amanda both have a job, a new house, a baby, and both are taking classes. It has been stressful but everything is calming down. Finals are almost over, they are settled in the house, and they are all over being sick (which was a challenge in the mix). Charlie was down to help move and Kortnie came down to help Amanda paint. Cheri and John helped, as did Brad and Ryan (Charlie and Clint's best friends).  I get baby duty. I love my job.

The boys are coming up on their first birthdays. I can't believe they are getting so big! Both of them are taking a few step, but neither one is off and running...yet. They both have so much personality. I enjoy every second of my time with them. I have Jayden saying "Nana." I almost have Liam there too. Liam called the mini pony "dog." They are just too cute.

Cheri's John's new adventure is he is going to become a fireman for the Bedford Fire Department. He has to go on a run every day and take classes. Ours is a volunteer department but John is getting experience so he can apply to the bigger cities. It is a big commitment and we are proud of him. 

Not much new with the rest of us. I posted a few of the million pictures I take on a regular basis. It was really hard to narrow it down to these!

Love Ya,
Cindy

She said yes!
