Are They Still Alive?

Wow. It has been a super busy past couple of months so we apologize for our lack of updates...is anybody out there??? For those who care, here's what has been going on...

We moved! We're still in the same little town enjoying the clear blue waters of a Great Lake but our new place is bigger, sparklier and oozes with charm. 'Moving Weekend' was an interesting experience but we did it with only one little disagreement that could probably be filed in the 'tiff' category.

Cars, cars, cars. Clay's Jeep that was the source of many headaches during the deployment is now in the care of others. This summer we bought a new cherry red 2007 VW Jetta of which we've really taken a liking. We're currently looking at vehicles for Clay and hopefully will purchase a truck in the new future. For those of you who know Clay's somewhat obsessive personality, he is spending his free time searching on the Internet for "the perfect truck."

May 2008. Clay submitted his exit paperwork to ETS from the Army. His four year active duty commitment ends May 2008 and pending whether he will be stop-lossed or not, we may be moving onto the next stage of our lives next summer...how exciting!

I am keeping busy with work and school while Clay is back to experiencing the nuances of the Army. We promise better blogging and apologize if our lack of writings has caused people to do things they now regret. Our advice is to 'keep it clean' and never trust potato salad at an outside picnic.


A little fun project for our fellow family and friend bloggers...we encourage you to post a 'vintage' picture of the two of you on your blog. Hey, why not? Pictures are fun to look at. Happy posting!

...and for the vintage Karen & Clay picture of the day...


Monster Truck Rally - BiLo Center, Greenville, South Carolina

"where you pay for the whole seat but only sit on the edge"

Upon viewing a television commerical for Tyrannosaurus WReX, Gravedigger and Big Foot, a group of friends at Clemson University decided to dress in their favorite redneck attire (Clay even wore his mullet) and take in the culture associated with Monster Trucks...HELL YEAH!
