Papa's 71st Birthday

Today we celebrated Daddy/Papa's 71st birthday at the "BR Hospital", his favorite.  I got the nonfat cappuccino blast of course and it was yummy, but I longed to have Daddy next to me stealing sips.  Papa was our rock and left us all with a legacy. Not a day goes by that he is not remembered. I replay every last talk, hug, and weeks in my head. I hear his voice on saved voicemails and I am grateful to have been his "Sweetie". My heart still aches and feels too heavy to carry at times, but I am learning not to be selfish and remember all he has in Heaven and that we will see him again one day. Although we still have tears, we have A LOT of moments of joy and laughter in our memories. We tell stories almost daily and see him in the little things around us. You would be so proud of us all and the way everyone has grown, especially Mom. I am sure you get a kick out of looking down on the grandkids and I never forget you laughing at me when one of them was acting up and saying, "This is payback."  Thank you for being the BEST DADDY and Papa to us all. We all love and miss you...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! "3"

Engagement Anniversary

17 years ago today I asked Stacy to marry me and it became our "YES" day!  It was a perfect day fishing in Grapeland, TX and an evening we will always remember with both sets of parents as well as Mumps & Grumps.  We celebrated with dinner at "Little Mexico" and they sang "For he's a jolly good fellow".  It was perfect and she is still the love of my life. May our love and faith grow every year as we celebrate our engagement anniversary. I am so blessed and lucky to have you in my life, Stacy. Happy 17th engagement anniversary!

Hall Family Christmas

We were so excited when Corey, Laura and their family could come into town to do pictures and celebrate Christmas with EVERYONE together!  We had such a fun time filled with laughter, food, and goodies for all.

Hall Family Photos

Family photos were a huge success!  This was one of Gamee and Grampee's Christmas gifts this year and we were happy to have an updated picture as we have grown from 10 people to 15 since we last took a picture in 2013.  It was definitely time to capture all the blessings of a family that God has provided!
