Happy Birthday, Granny Spain!!!

Duane's grandmother is a long-time, die-hard fan, and she had never been to Minute Maid Park, so her birthday gift this year was a no-brainer! On Sunday, August 9, we went to watch the Astros shut out the Brewers! It was a GREAT game and we had a great time!!!

Bachelor Party

While we were celebrating with Shannon in College Station, the boys made their traditional trip to New Orleans. Thankfully, what happens in New Orleans, stays in New Orleans! We can all appreciate that!!!

Shannon's Getting Married!

Weddings are a time for celebration, and we took time to celebrate Shannon's big day with lunch & shower at Cafe Eccell!

Later that night, we met for a girls night out on Northgate!

A great time was had by all!!!!

Congratulations & Best Wishes, Shannon!!!!

We are so happy for you!!!

GHS Class of 1989

Recently, my class celebrated our 20 year reunion. I can't possibly be that old, can I??? The calendar says that yes, I am!

Here we are in Kindergarten, 1976/77...

Our Senior Class picture, 1988/89

And, here we are in 2009...

About half of our class was able to come to the reunion.

Here we are with our families...

One of our class members pointed out, that this picture is proof that we did learn how to multiply!

It was a beautiful, hot July afternoon, and we had a GREAT time visiting with old friends!

Tina (pictured below in black) traveled the most miles. She came in all the way from California!

Chris (pictured below) was our co-planner. His hard work helped to make our reunion possible!

Mother & Daddy hosted the event at our place, and because of their planning & hard work, it was wonderful!!! Either they are gluttons for punishment, or they are angling for better Christmas presents!!! THANKS, MOTHER & DADDY!!!!! Your hard work and generosity are GREATLY appreciated!!!!
