Happy Birthday Bokes!




Ryan's birthday was Tuesday...the big 2-9!!  For those of you who don't know, Ryan and I call each other "bokes" as a pet name..we actually stole it from my friend Sal from the last post and her hubby, Taylor. So, it was Bokes' birthday Tuesday and we just had to celebrate!

This is actually the first year since we have been together, dating or married that I have actually seen Ryan on his birthday day. So, I just wanted to make it so special for him.

I set up all his cards for him when he got home from work and then Scout and I gave him our presents. He got a sweet card that Scout picked out himself :), and a gift certificate for a massage which he loved!


We went to dinner with our bible study groups at Moe's Tavern for half-price burgers...delicious. We had a big turn out of 15 people for the party. It was a blast! Here are some pics of all the couples and other shots from the dinner party.


So much fun!! When Ryan and I got home, we had the cake and watched American Idol. I think it was a great birthday and he really enjoyed it!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOKES! YOU ARE THE BEST!

    Real cool Anna. I guess Craig and I didn't make the couple shots. Is it just because we are not a part of the "small group"?

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a

Reflections

I am currently about to be done with my last class ever in PA school. That fact combined with the fact that I have to turn in my computer in about an hour has inspired me to blog! I cannot believe that this chapter of my life is almost done. As I look back over my life, I think of the many things that I have done and sacrificed to prepare for this moment. High school and working hard to make the best grades possible and be involved so that I could achieve something and do something with my life. College and majoring in Biology so that I could go into the health care field. Figuring out that I wanted to go to PA school and my course changing. I ended up having to take about 36 extra hours on top of biology courses just to get the pre-reqs I needed for PA school. I remember back to the application process and attempting to make sure everything was in order. Then I was devastated when I did not get into PA school that first time. I began a job after we got married at the Heart Center to
