Life between yesterday and tomorrow...

Ok, so Jill and I have been together 2 whole years now! can anyone else not believe this? So, we decided to test our camping skills to celebrate. We got away to Henderson Beach, no not our back yard, Destin, FL... it was great!!! Here are some pics from our awesome trip....

First off, this is our tent... thats me being overwhelmed! i didn't know i had bought a castle!!!! you can actually stand up in it! unreal...i'm used to having to lay down to get dressed in a tent. this one you could even turn over with out fear of knocking it down... it was great!!!!

Our first sunrise @ our home for the week! Man does it get any better than that... i don't think so.

Day one: Notice the farmers tan and white
faces that will soon change!

Um, and if you're wondering about dinner... this is the best thing we had and it came from "Site 28". it's this new place just opened like 2 days before...Man that Chef Hendu came really cook!!!


This is proof...Smiling faces!!! Ain't she cute...







My best come hither look...What do ya think! this was Anniversary night @ the Back Porch. Excellent food...can't come to Destin with out eating there at least once.





OK so blogger is acting up again.... so i'll be doing a continued to finish...

Here is the happy couple! Scott and Margret...



Yep!! Go ahead take another look....not only did they have Shrimp, gumbo, roast beef, a million different cheeses and breads, and a bunch of GREAT food...they also had "Toomers Lemonade!!!"....Imported straight out of Auburn, AL



Here they are! and ME...the Art Crew

me, Jill, Scott, Brandi, and Shane




Me and Jill! Whoo!!!



This is a 2000 year old tree!!!



here's me pouting because we can't eat at the cool place where the really cool 2000 year old tree is...
:(




How crazy is this!? These stores were completely gutted by Hurricane Katrina last year! This is the way most of Boluxi looks...
And it's almost a year later!


Ok well blogspot is screwin' up again...so i'm not going to get to put anymore pics on here, so dissappointed...so until next time.

One of Jill's friends decided that he'd take this plunge that all our friends seem to be taking now...Marriage. So, Jill and I set out to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi last week. We met Brandi and Shane along the way, because let's face it, no matter how much we like the person that's getting married, us guys have got to have someone to joke with during the ceremony while the girls are getting all teary-eyed. And who better to do that with than some of your best friends!

Anywho, here are some pics from our trip...


This is the view from the front of the church. You can see that is was a circle driveway, and where the sand is...used to be Beach St. But the Hurricane Katrina took the street and much more away from these great people. But they're getting back. The church itself had undergone renovation before Katrina hit, it was ruined after the storm hit almost a year ago. They had just finished the floors Wednesday, the pughs Friday, and still had plywood front doors...but this church and wedding were beautiful!



This is Shane and Brandi some of our favorite people!! You might notice them from last years blog entry from the great CHEAHA Mt.... This is me and Jill!!! Sorry I just love this hold out the camera and take a picture thing....



Just look how ornate these windows are!!! This church is over 154 years old! and in great condition... Imean how awesome is this ceiling! I wish I had a lens that could get the whole thing! it's beautiful!


Sorry guys but i'll post more pics in another post. For some reason bloggers image inserter wanted to crap out on me... and i've got to show you the other cool stuff we saw this weekend! So see you soon!!

So the Funderburk's went to Ft. Walton last week for their Summer vacation. then they decided they missed us too much and invited us down! So we packed up Saturday morning about 3:30am and drove down to the most beautiful beaches in the world...Anyway, it was a great trip too short though!! Can't wait to go back... here are a few pics.

OH, I can't forget to tell you about the Lucky Snapper! If you go to Destin or Ft. Walton you've got to try the Lucky Snapper...very good! Blackened Grouper, Seafood gumbo, hot and tangy Shrimp!, crab cakes, fried shrimp, really good cheese rolls! and the best part, it's open air!!! so much fun!



Mr. Jan kickin' it at the beach...






Mrs. Shelrea trying to stay out of the water! She was like a kid out in her tube ridin' the waves!



Andy's livin' it up, up in the condo...

by the way, I would absolutely recommend staying @ the Pelican Isle! very very nice!!!







This was the view from the balcony. And you know i can't start a morning without my coffee...

Ok I know I'm late with this, and I'm very sorry... what's sad is that I'm just now mentioning it! Back in May Jill and I rode down to God's 2nd country (the 1st being Anniston, of course), Ft. Deposit. This just happens to be the place of some of the best people in the WORLD's family. Who own a farm, which with nothing else to describe it to I've got to say, looks like what I would consider HEAVEN to be. And guys I'm not kidding!

This place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL... Anyway, this is where a couple of my favorite people got married. Ryan and the NEW Mrs. Lombardi, Hanna.

Let me explain in as few words as possible how important these people are to me. If I had not known these two people I would have never had the opportunity to befriend some of the greatest people that God could have placed in my life. Because of Hanna and Lombardi, I was able to met the Godly-est, kindest, friendliest, most caring, sincere, loving, and the list goes on and on....people I could have had the pleasure to meet. Biscuet, John Prichett, Peter, Jared, Shannon, Pat, Rachel, Meredith, Billie, Dianne, Carol, Wilki, Rebecca, Yetty, Paul, Daniel, Isbo, Karen, Ryan Perry, T. Brooks, Matt and April, Will, Jake, Josh, the Blounts, etc.... if i forgot someone I'm so sorry but these are just some of the guys and girls I've met directly through these 2 people!

So needless to say Lombardi and Hanna mean a lot to me, and I hope y'all don't mind but I got these pics off of other peoples blogs, because I didn't have any pictures of the wedding and I really wanted something to remember that weekend...

Jill and I love you guys and wish you nothing but the best with you're lives! You have definitely blessed ours.

WOW, what more is there to say!

Ok I know ya'll are getting tired of my posts about stuff around the house, but I'm sorry, I'm very proud... :-)

Really I'm just excited that Jill and I can plant stuff and it actually grow. Apart were a black and brown thumb, but together it's like the brightest green you've ever seen...anyway, here are a couple of pics of the side of our porch where there used to be 2 HUGE and UGLY azalea bushes.
The big bushes are Japanese clearia, the ones in front of those are nandenia and then there are leriopy lining the front of the bed...

NOTE: I have no idea how to spell any of those plant names... and neither does this spell checker... :)

what do you think?






This is a pic of the best thing planted in the Henderson garden... Jilly!!! ok so she's not really planted, or really even in this picture...but you know what i mean...


She just got finished watering our beautiful new plants!






And since there are only so many shots of our flower bed before it gets redundant here's me and Jill saying 'till next time!! and Can't wait till we can have EVERYONE down for a BIG party!

Yes that's right! For the first time in couple of decades, the Funderburk's and Day's are getting together for a Family Reunion!

Here are a few pics from my new family's get together...




these guys are the reason we got together. the 1st cousin's... in this group are missionaries, lawyers, a teacher and a BRAND NEW Principal...the principal is my father-in-law. He just got the job as Principal of Central Phenix City High School!!!



This is everybody!!! Cool huh! These guys are so interesting. There's a pilot, several missionaries, lawyers, a Judge, teachers, there's even a UPS guy in this bunch!

Oh on that note...in case i haven't told anyone, i'm one of the NEW Supervisors @ UPS... Jill and I are very excited about that!

And look at all the Kids!!! There's going to be Funderburks for MILLIONS of years if they keep procreating at this rate!!!

this was a great day and if anyone gets a chance to drive through Preston, GA, there's be sure to stop @ Mom's for lunch.
