HAIL!!

Last night we had a great Texas-sized thunderstorm with hail. Luckily we only got pea and marble sized hail at our house, but it was pretty spectacular the amount that came down in a short period of time. This morning when we got up there was still collections of hail in the back of Matt's truck.

Separated at Birth??

Lynn & Jill

Okay, so I'm a little older, but we could easily be sisters!
Jill and I met in July last year and quickly became friends. After all we are almost the same person. Really, we have so much in common beyond our physical appearances:
1: We both grew up in East Texas
2: and now we are both nurses at Zale Lipshy University Hospital...and thats only the start.
3: Our first date with our husbands were at a sushi bar
4: Okay, here is were it get weird. We were both married June 2nd, 2007. (that was before we met)
5: All of our names and spouses are 4 letters-Lynn & Matt, Jill & Adam
6: Adam's brother's name is Andrew and my brother is Andrew
7: My name is Sherry Lynn and Jill's mom is Sherry Lynn
8: People constantly mistake us for each other at work--and they don't even seem to realize!
We do have so much in common--things we like and don't like, places we want to go and things we like to do. I am proud to have Jill as my friend.

It was such a nice relaxing break after a long days work. We enjoyed the game (although the Stars lost) and enjoyed spending time with friends.

Sushi Night

Last night we met some friends out for dinner at The Blue Fish in North Dallas. What started out as a simple double date turned into a party! We were so happy that everyone made it and enjoyed some wonderful food and conversation.

We even got to see little Miss Zoe, Whitney and Jay. They didn't make it for the group shot because Zoe was insisting that it was her dinner time too!


We were celebrating the end of Erin's contract at Zale. We will really miss seeing her and hearing her bedside commentary.

We wish her the best as she moves back to Indianapolis - and we hope she won't forget us down here in Texas!

Durango Mountain Resort

We had a wonderful time skiing and relaxing with Drew and Jessica at Purgatory Mountain. We stayed slopeside for quick access to the mountain activities.

Matt and I took a half day guided snow shoe tour. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful but it was a lot of work!

Postcard views!

Joni & Steven's Wedding

I was honored to attend the wedding of Joni & Steven with my mom this past weekend. The events were held at Chandler's Landing on Lake Ray Hubbard.

I had a lot of fun with my camera and later experimenting with Photoshop Elements.

Best of luck to the newly weds!!

SNOW?

Okay, so I know it doesn't look like much but this is Texas--in March.

We woke up this morning and our yard had a nice layer of beautiful snow. It made me miss Colorado.

Master Patrick James

On March 3rd we welcomed PJ into the world.

7 pound 3 ounces

20 1/2 inches

I got to meet him the next day while he and his mom ,Misty, were still in the hospital. Both looked wonderful!

All of my best to you Misty, Sean and PJ! You are a wonderful family!

Weekend in Tyler

We had a wonderful weekend with Drew, Jessica and the kids at their home in Tyler. On Friday and Saturday we had a HUGE, very successful garage sale. We grossed over $1K!

Believe it or not --- This picture is on Saturday morning. Most of our sales were on Friday!

On Friday evening, after Matt left to go home, we went to visit Drew at work. I got a complete tour of Jacksonville's Central Fire Station including the fire truck, ambulance and some cool tools like the jaws of life and heat detectors.

On Saturday morning Mom and I helped Drew with some lawn care. We raked a huge pile of leaves and the kids played in them while people continued to shop at our garage sale.
