I recieved this email from a girl that I used to work with from that bank that was from our Chillicothe branch, it amazed me how many caring people we have in the world that would take the time to give either their prayers or some kind of help to this family. The lady that I work with is actually neighbors with this people and she said that this was just devastating! Please everyone keep this family in their prayers!

Ok, so I do not have any new pictures because my camera was lost for a long time. I wanted to share my excitement that I had happen recently for those of you that do not know already! (everyone already knew) Chad ended up leaving the 9th of September and we had planned that the next time we would be able to see each other would be October 10th. On September 18th, I was working and Mandy, my sister came in and just pretended to be visiting, then next thing I knew, Kellie came in holding a dozen roses, she had said that she ran by the house and found these on the table so she wanted to bring them up. The roses were beautiful but all I kept thinking to myself was that fact that I wanted Chad to be here so much more, and I even said that, not knowing that at that point he was standing out my door listening to what I was saying. Next thing that I knew, I lokked up and he was standing in the doorway of my office! My mother, Addy, Kellie, Mandy and my co worker Shelia, I think all had tears in their eyes! This was the best suprise ever and I am still not sure how my family kept this secret! Chad ended up being here Thursday through Monday and as always we had a great time! He got to experience the Jesse James days, and ever one had said to us that "The true test to a relationship, is making it through the drama of Jesse James Days" Well...we did it, this is for sure the man that I want to make me happy for the rest of my life! I guess it was all worth waiting for!

I will post again soon!

This past weekend, Chad was in town from Kentucky and this first picture was when Ashley had her twins over. All of us were hanging out, we made the guys take pictures with them. I thought this turned out so cute!!

On Tuesday before Chad left, Addy, Chad and I all went out to see the house of Jesse James. Chad thinks that it is so crazy that we celebrate a criminal but all of us including him thought the whole thing was very interesting! We took lots of pictures when we were there but here are just a few.
