Edward "Beau" George Bailey, II

Uncle Ed (Rena's Uncle) passed on 3-7-11 after a short 50 years of life. He fought as hard and as long as he could. I had the honor to know him and be a part of his life. He always kept us laughing and I loved watching his sweet face smile and light up. I just finished making the slide show for his celebration of life tomorrow. It's been great to see this family pull together and lean on eachother during this time. They are very strong and MeeMaw has to be one of the strongest. I'm glad she was able to stand holding his hand saying, "I love you Eddie," as he took his last breaths. He was a Momma's boy and wouldn't have wanted it any other way. My heart breaks for Joey, his partner of 11 years. He will always be large part of this family. Uncle Ed had a passion for his dogs and all dogs. I hope to carry that same passion he had and will always remember him for that.

"I dialed your number, but you wouldn't be there. I knew it the whole time, but it's still not fair. I just wanted to hear your voice. I just needed to hear your voice."

Valentine's Day

We had a good Valentine's Day this year! Flowers were delivered to my office from Rena! I know she only did it to try to embarass me... but I wasn't! The one and only time I ever sent her flowers I was threatened to NEVER do that again! She didn't like that attention so much! We made ribs in the crockpot and had roasted veggies and sweet potatoes! Yum! it was very good! After that we made chocolate dipped strawberries and took Jake on a nice long walk.

Here's a picture of the Jeep! We are starting to look at little upgrades here and there to do to it! I really don't know much about Wrangler's but I'm trying to learn really fast! We've had great weather recently and actually took the top all the way off on Sunday!

wow a year

A year has gone by since I posted here! Little did I know so much would happen in one year! On 2/12/10 Re and I went to Nashville for a weekend trip. 2/12/10 also happens to be the day the love of my life dropped to one knee and asked me to marry her! On nine4ten (9/4/10) we got married on our favorite beach in FL. Needless to say it was a crazy year and a lot happened!

We've done a few things to the house but not as much as I would like! We do have dining room furniture now and we have painted a few rooms... finally. There is still a lot to do though! Re bought a Jeep Wrangler. So we spend our weekends now riding around with big smiles on our faces as we figure out how to drive it! Fun times and I can't wait for spring!

Short quick update I'll post some pictures later!
