104.7 Opening Act

Hubby

My hubby is the best! I met him in 1985 on the marching band practice field during our freshman year in college. He played tuba and I was playing Saxophone for the first time in my life, because the director didn't think clarinets ( my real instrument) made enough significant noise on the marching field...

He was eighteen years old wearing a muscle shirt and those '80's cut off jean shorts...He had a 5 oclock shadow and a hairy chest...he was manly~ a real man!

                                                Karl back in the day probably 1986

                                               us...I am looking very '80's

He's the best! Great hubby, wonderful dad, trustworthy, patient, and reliable. He's going to do what he says he's gonna do... He loves Jesus and his family. I mentioned he was patient; he has to be...he taught me how to drive a stick shift when we were newlyweds and he didn't pull his hair out or get angry...and now driving a "standard" is FUN!

Karl with the kids...he's the best dad around.

                                    Karl loves to go to the lake...he has threatened to sell the boat; the rest of us flip-out when he mentions selling cause we love going to the lake too.

                                                        He has a sense of humor too...We needed extra passport photos for our dossier and this was his first "mugshot"...got to love it!

This was taken at Dillard House on our 20th anniversary weekend get a way! Ain't he purty?

Here he is getting ready to fish off the dock at Lake Burton. He likes to go fishing, but doesn't get to go as much as he would like.

                                           Here we are 20 years ago at our wedding with our parents...Has it really been 20 years? It sure doesn't seem like 20 years...Time flies when you're having fun!

My hubby is the best and I love him...I thank God for putting that manly man in my squad on that marching band field all those years ago!

Sunday Snapshot: How to spend a Saturday? Organizing or Boating? Hmmmm

We had been planning to clean out closets and organize, but then the kids said can we go to the lake. So we thought do we clean out and organize or go to the lake? Hmmmm, Daddy's arm didn't have to be twisted to say let's go. So off we went!

The water was pretty, the lake was not TOO crowded and the water refreshing. We had been in the lake for less than an hour when it started to sprinkle rain drops. Then the rain got heavier...then we heard thunder and saw several lightening strikes. It amazed us at how quickly the weather changed from bright HOT and sunny to thunder storm! We quickly made it back to the ramp...we don't flirt with thunderstorms in a lake.

We came home and decided to go out to eat. The boys wanted Japanese. Karlie doesn't like Japanese because the Hibachi Chef always seems to pick on her....so when he came out she said I need to run to the restroom...

Zach and Karlie at the Japanese restaurant, she is quite nervous...this is before she came up with the plan to exit to the restroom while the chef cooked our food...

                                                   Here's all three of my babies...aren't they precious?

                              I was a little nervous too....I didn't want to catch food in mid-air either, but the cook made Zach try it and he missed everytime...I should have taken his photo while trying to catch food with his mouth wide open, but I didn't...

We came home and Zach made a video for the local Christian Radio station's contest. You'll have to check out his entry. The  more views he gets the better.

On the adoption front, we have everything complete except for the CIS approval. I have spoken with the Hague representative in charge of our case,( he is the nicest and is a very helpful agent)...He said he has everything except for one set of our fingerprints to clear.I explained that the one missing was my grandmother's and her prints did not take the first time He said that sometimes this happens with the elderly. She goes back on Tuesday for her second appointment...please pray her prints "take" this time.
