What a wonderful Easter!

Hi from Dothan! I had a wonderful time in Birmingham last week. I love being with Brian&Kristen and Beth&Dustin. We had a great time with Rob and Laura and Clay and Jeanna too. Rob is my new best friend because he'll talk gardening with me. How blessed all of you are to have each other.
It has occured to me that Brian may be all grown up. There are several indicators:
He owns his home and his home doesn't have pictures of Bruce everywhere. His roommate is not one of his cousins and he spent Saturday buying and planting azaleas.
Back to the subject of roommates; This one (his wife:another indicator)has to be the best ever.As much as we all love Holt,.Kristen has him beat in the roomie contest. I'm sure Holt would say that Melanie is his best roomie ever. I'm so proud of all of our grown up children. All of you are wonderful people. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to B'ham. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and so loved.

ADA Thomas!!!

3.1 miles!!

Today Laura and I ran in the CROP 5K. It's an annual fund raiser for world hunger. We started in Ruston Park on Highland Ave. then to Five Points to Lakeview back to Highland. We ran it non stop in 36 minutes!! It was a breeze, well except for the hills. After the run, we enjoyed a few rounds of margaritas at Rojo. We started a program 6 weeks ago called "Couch to 10K". Each week we gain a little more distance. It really works!! Next up, the Bham Zoo Run! I bought the dorkiest pair of shoes but they make all the difference. I feel like I'm running on a cloud! I'll keep you posted on our progress!

easter weekend at the bailey's

we had such a fun weekend with family and friends! it's finally gotten warmer so we were able to enjoy being outside, grilling out, and of course, easter eggs! dying easter eggs+sipping on margaritas=half hard boiled eggs:) enjoy the pics!

lakeview reunion

Two years ago you could have found any one of us in Lakeview. On any Friday or Saturday. At basically any time of night. We haven't gone out in quite awhile, so we were all itching for a night in Lakeview. Here are some pics... (by the way, the one of brian on the floor is of him doing the infamous worm)

Picture of me....

By the way, that picture of me with the headset, there is a logical explanation. I was on a work conference call and my bluetooth was dead. I have a headset to use because my neck starts to hurt if I hold a regular phone for a long period of time.
