today Is a day of celebration!!

Today we celebrate one year of life for

FREDRICK LIGHTNING WELKER!

He is probably my favorite Baby of ALL TIME! and I sort of Love him more than I have ever loved any little person! So if you know him, you should call him and sing him a little birthday song! I am sure he will at least make some noise to show you he appreciates it!

I love you Fred!

5 words and photograph!

Becca Wessley is my HERO!

So, I saw Pink on the VMA's and I have to say that I fell in love with her hair...I couldn't stop saying outloud "I LOVE HER HAIR." So this is what it looks like.

I know, my hair would look weird like this for my face shape, but with my recent haircut, I realized that I can't stand the shape of it...to plain, to boring, and not me! I just didn't look like myself when I look in the mirror. So, I called Becca, and thank God, she said she could see me "tomorrow" which was Tuesday. So Andrew and I took a shotgun trip to S-town. We left at 11:45 and got back to Liberty at 9:00. We didn't see anyone but Nate and Becca, and of course, Lundyn. We had a sweet, sweet visit with them (at the shop) and we didn't even get to eat at ony of our favorite resturants...booo...but the results were worth every hour in the car. We did get a lot of work done without our computer on and in front of us. So. Here is the new hair!

Much Better!

The book that changed my Husband's life

Well I have just started it, like I have read the forward, but this book has changed Andrew's life. I am excited to come back and tell you more. He loves it and it has spurred his thinking...so you should check it out too. you can get it here at Amazon. I am excited because Shane Claiborne will be speaking at National youth workers convention this year. So keep checking back so that you can get my take on it. It has really made Andrew do some thinking, so much so, that it comes up in conversation at least once each day. I guess it is that good.

THE shoes

So, I have been pining over these shoes for the last, well since the 4th of July. I saw them at Tylers in Austin...and I can't stop thinking about them. You can check out the other colors here. Sometimes I see things that i think I want, and then because of not wanting to spend the money, I am pretty good at walking away. Sometimes, though, I can't stop thinking about them. It is weird to think that I have thought about shoes for 2 months. I guess I am like my mother. Ha ha! The difference is that they are not 3 inch heels! Anyway, just thought I would post about it, cause I like them.

I have a new favorite accessory

These are my new sunglasses, made by Chili's. (not the bar and grill) I am pretty sure that once every few years, I run across a pair of shades, that I am in love with. Some of you may remember the sky blue oakleys that I rocked for a few years...I was known by those. Anyway, I love them, but I am pretty sure that Matt Turnbough made fun of them yesterday...well, maybe he really does "Like those big red sunglasses you got on."
I looked on-line for about 30 minutes for these so that you can, too, purchase them and kick it oldschool, with me and the rest of America. So, you can go here and get them.

THE HAIRCUT

So, I finally went to someone here in town to get my hair cut. First I have to say, I really like my color, and the cut is good, but I don't feel like it is me...and she is NO BECCA! But...it it is still good, so here are some photos of my new hair. This is the first time I have had bangs since I left my Uncle John's shop crying when I was 11 and my parent's made him cut the bangs...really short. I feel like it makes me look a lot more my age, but I am not sure that I love that.

I think I am trying to make up for it with my clothes.

a couple things from Florida

These are a few images I have from Florida. Of course, it is like Fredapalooza...I can't seem to focus on anything else when he is around. I just kind of love him. A couple of these I really love. The ones of Josh and Michelle, I am very fond of. The way they were standing and laying looked so elegant to me. Anyway, I hope you enjoy seeing the Fam...I don't think I have one of Andrew here...sorry Andrew. I will get one up here later.
