The last few months


Lets see here... let me start with Valentines Day...

Nate suprised me with tickets to go see Peter Pan in a 360 theater. It was amzing! All the characters would attach clips to their harnes that was under their costume and sly all over the stage! It was soooo cool!

I made Saylor, Reagan, and Delaney these neclaces for Valentines day. They are bubble gum! Vute huh?

Took the girls on my favorite hike. Up stone mountain. It was our last field trip before I left
Nathan's Parents came to Atlanta for his Graduation. So we went on my favorite hike again!
I saw this beautiful Hindeu Temple in the wierdest spot. The middle of lilburn GA. So I decided before I left that I wanted to look inside. The closer I got the more the phase "ohhh my goodness" came out. It was the most meticulous work of art I have ever seen in my entire life. It was abesolutely amazing. It was all carved from stone. And the inside was even more meticulous.

Every square inch was amazing! Can you imagine building this thing! WEW!
Here is the Mortician walking at Graduation!!!
I'm a proud wife. He got an Acedemic Achivement award and didn't even tell me! Good Job Buddy!
Chris and Deanna Brown
THis is the day that Nathan Left. Needless to say that I bawled my eyes out! I had to wait 6 weeks to see him... or so I though!
Bye Bye Sweetheart!! :(
They loved to lay with me in my hammock! -saylor and me
May 4th -ish we went to San Diego! Reagan, Delaney, and I were seat buddies!

First Stop was Randy's! I got the best maple bar
We got to Carlsbad at night, then woke up in the morning and went to this cool flower garden right by our hotel. It was really pretty and we got a lot of nice pictures. Here are just a few!
Me and my girls!

Delaney, Reagan, and Saylor
This was an orchid garden. It was amazing!




We went to the beach before we went to dinner, and ended up getting soaked so we had to go home, change and go somewhere else for dinner. It was worth it though! We had a lot of fun!



Wild Animal Safari! That was a blast too!
Lego Land for Reagan's Birthday! She wasn't the only one getting a presents this day!
SURPRISE!!!!!! Do you see my face, that is the face that you make when you haven't seen your husband in 5 weeks and he randomly shows up in California!
What a great surprise!

Me and my Georgia family! We grew to be best buddies, all of us! I love them so much!

I had to get a picture by the lego chewy because I can make the chewbaka(sp?) noise pretty well
Lego Land water park! I let them get in, and it was really cold out! Big mistake! We had to dry their clothes in the bathroom fans.
The Browns

The last 6 weeks I was there, the browns were getting their kitchen redone. This is what we came home to after our spring break trip to California!
We stopped in Nashville and got some cowboy boots! Buy 1 get 2 free! It was awesome
Proud cowgirl! :)
We stopped at my cousin Kara's in Columbia Missouri and I visited with her lovely family! Kelvin was so cute, I had to wake up early so we could get going, and he poked his head in and wanted me to come play with him. He is a doll! He showed me every truck he owned.

Flat Kansas...it kept going and going and goingandgoingandgoing!!! Yuck that part was boring! but we had fun none the less.


I finally got back and day one came to start working. Here is what I came home to. Piles of junk to pick up. But have no fear I took care of that mess!

Getting our trusses on our roof
From the inside looking up
From the lobby looking to the chapel
Nate hadn't unpacked anything, so between unpacking and manual labor at the funeral home, I was exhausted. I was so tired I didn't even move anything off the bed. I fell asleep on top of hangers and folded laundry. In fact I didn't have a pillow so I am using a stack of folded shirts!
Thursday April 21st I went over to Matt and Heidi's and Heidi and I decided to kick the boys out and have a sleep-over for old time sake. So we chatted till the wee hours of the morning. It was great! I love you heids!

Wow that was a lot.

As for right now I am working 12+ hour days trying to get the funeral home open by June 15th. I am helping make a web-page (petersonfuneral.com), business cards, advertising, desinging our sign, demolition & clean up, making facebook pages, radio adds, framing walls, running the saw and/or nail gun, applying for permits, designing the inside of the building, picking out furniture, keeping everyone on task and on schedule, and then trying to still unpack my house. I could spontaneously combust into tears at any second, but I know that we will get through it, and when it is too hard I know who I can always cry too. But we are making it, and we are both very very grateful for our many blessings, and the opportunity to start our very own funeral home.
