"May God bless you and keep you always, may your wishes all come true, may you always do for others, and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true, may you always know the truth, and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong, may you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift, may you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful and may your song always be sung. May you stay forever young." -Bob Dylan


"Not talking about a year, no not three or four. I don't want that kind of forever in my life anymore. Forever always seems to be around when it begins, but forever never seems to be around when it end. So give me your forever, please your forever. Not a day less will do from you.
People spend so much time every single day runnin' 'round all over town givin' their forever away. But no not me, I won't let my forever roam and now I hope I can find my forever a home. So give me your forever, please your forever. Not a day less will do from you.
Like a handless clock with numbers, an infinite of time. No not the forever found only in the mind. Forever always seems to be around when things begin, but forever never seems to be around when things end. So give me your forever, please your forever. Not a day less will do from you." - Ben Harper

Family Reunion and House Destruction

This past weekend Shane and I headed up to Chattanooga, TN for the Puffer Family Reunion. My dad is one of 6 boys, and all but one made it to the reunion. My whole immediate family was there, which was great. Grayson and Will are growing so fast!
We arrived Friday at 2am thanks to Sarah's heaving right foot. Shane and I watched the USA game Friday morning with Matt and Will and then headed over to the Aquarium in downtown on the river. It was pretty neat. That night we had a cookout at the pool. Saturday we relaxed all day and went downtown that night to eat and listen to the Charlie Daniel's band. It was a great weekend.

The house project had a minor turn last week. The inspector came last week. We were all excited because we couldn't wait to hear him say that all of Shane's work was pefect, which he DID! But he also said that there is no record of the pre-existing stuff having it's final inspection. Boo. With that said, we will have to take out the insulation upstairs and replace it with a thicker insulation, and do other small, tedious things. Thankfully Jeanie is allowing us to move into her house for the next couple weeks while she is in Washington. She offered to pay for someone to come out and do all of this because she hates that Shane has to do it, but Shane told her not to worry and that we would get it done. So that is what we will be working on the next few off-days and hopefully get the messy work finished before Jeanie returns. I'll have some pretty good pictures to post of our bedroom/living area covered in drywall and insulation in a couple days! Woo!

Enough of that...Here are some pictures from the Reunion this past weekend.
