Christmas Time

Merry Christmas! Here are some fun holiday pictures:


This is a pretty accurate one of Benny and I...just kidding. We like to dress a little tacky for our Christmas party with our kids. Our leaders get really into it too...

This one's a little more normal... :)

In front of our new (since the end of May) house. Yes, those are GREEN leaves and GREEN grass...Louisiana doesn't quite have the whole "four season" thing down.

Jill and Dupree's Wedding

My great Friend, Jill Tanana, got married last weekend in Detroit. She was absolutely beautiful, and the entire weekend was spectacular. The rehearsal dinner was in the Clubhouse at the Detroit Tiger's Stadium (thanks to her dad, Frank Tanana...he played a little MLB a few years ago), and the wedding/reception was in the Henry Ford Estate. I had a wonderful time catching up with good friends from the Kanakuk Institute, and was blessed to be a part of the weekend. Congrats Jill and Dupree!

Lee, Kim, Ryan, Dupree, Jill, Jason, Cari, and me at the reception.

Go Bearcats!

For those who don't know, Benny is the Varsity coach of the Ruston High soccer team. His season started a few weeks ago, and so far they're 7-1. Benny absolutely loves coaching, and he is VERY good at it!

A very blurry picture of their first game...I think they won this one 8-0.
