Friday Night Directions

Ok--here goes. I am going to try my best at the directions to my mom's. but with Byhalia Rd. (one of the biggest streets in C'ville) being closed, it kinda stinks. FYI, if you have been to Jack and Melissa's, then you know the right neighborhood. My mom's house is just a few blocks away from theirs'.
The directions are as followed:

Traveling East on Poplar:
Continue East on Poplar into Collierville
PASS Byhalia Rd (Taco Bell, Walgreens, Kroger, etc.)--it will be closed!
PASS Wal-Mart, Methodist church (both on left)
TURN left on to Peterson Lake Rd. (Md. School is on right side of Poplar)
Continue down Peterson Lk. past Elem. School
TURN left onto Powell Rd.
TURN right onto Barbara Lynn (this is past the Community Center)
HOUSE (on right) at 884 Barbara Lynn Dr.


Coming from Houston Levee: (These directions are new, so I hope I don't mess them up!)
At Houston Levee/Wolf Creek Pkwy--Continue down Wolf Creek into Collierville
Follow the road, all the way, straight (you will go straight through one stop sign), turn only when you have hit (run into) old Shelton Rd. and turn right onto Greenview (Em, you might have gone to Mel and Jack's this way)

On Greenview, TURN right onto Greencliff
TURN right onto Jeffrey Ln.
TURN left onto Barbara Lynn.
Address: on left-884 Barbara Lynn

I hope that this gets you there!! Any questions, or alternate directions, please call me! The traffic will be more than usual, and you won't be able to use the main road in town. So, if you need us, please call. We will probably be at my mom's, preparing the chili, between 5 and 5:30. So, please get there when you can after that so that we can get a spot before the parade starts at 7!

Friday night--PARADE!

Ok--sounds good so far! We will finalize the details in the next day or so, I guess. For any of you that have been to Jack and Melissa's house, my mom's place is in the same neighborhood! I will get back with specific directions. If you want to MapQuest or something, the address is 884 Barbara Lynn, Collierville, TN 38017. However, if you look at these directions, you will need to remember that Byhalia Rd. will be closed, probably starting at 5:00. The parade STARTS at 7:00, but we will need to be heading up there and claiming a spot much earlier than that. I can get stuff for chili and have that cooking for us to eat after the parade (it's usually over between 8 and 9). We will leave for the parade a little early for dinner, and will come back late for dinner. So, we might have to compromise. When you come, if you want to bring some type of snack or appetizer to share before we leave (or as we are at the parade), that would be great! Also, if someone has a way to bring a Thermos type container of Hot Chocolate and some cups, that would rock!! Anything else that you might want to bring to add to any of this, please do!! Depending on the weather, also think about blankets, etc.

Small group this week...

who wants to host? I hope you all had a great holiday. WE just got in from Dyersburg. I am mentally exhausted!! and sick of leftovers.

so, who can host?

Thanksgiving

Hey everyone!
I am assuming that we are not meeting as a group this Friday because of the holiday weekend, and I seem to remember discussing this last week. We had a great time last week! Thank you, Chad and Amy, for having us! And, the drive wasn't bad at all--at least for us! If anyone is getting together on Friday, we will miss you and hope that it's a wonderful night. We will be leaving town for Hardy on Thursday afternoon, but we hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving, and we will see you all next week!

Friday Meeting

Chad and I are hosting this week, as long as everyone's willing to drive to Arlington. Wanted to get a count of who's planning to attend. My plan is to have some sort of Mexican dish for dinner (tacos or fajitas).

Baby Reid

So, I am sure you all know by now, but Reid made his appearance last night via c-section. He is reportedly beautiful (as if we needed to be TOLD). I believe his stats are 6lbs 15oz, 20 1/2 in long with light brown hair. I am unsure of the exact birth time. I think somewhere in th e8:30- 9:30 time. Mom and baby both doing fine- dad I don't know about. he is really unimportant at this time anyway!!!

Congrats Mel and Jack! God bless Reid and your new little family!!

Friday night - it happens every week...

So, here we are again. It is Friday...who can host? We still do not have the room for real live people because of all the boxes! soon, we hope to change all that! I know that Jack and Mel ae out. We still can't go out to eat-money woes!

what's up homies?

It's Baby Time

Okay guys,

It looks like its time. We scheduled an induction for this Saturday(11/11). The doctor feels like it is time and I definitely agree. Please pray for health for me and Reid. My blood pressure has chosen now to get all whacked out. It is really high today and I feel pretty rough. I will be put in the hospital on Friday night to do all the preliminary stuff. We just can't wait for Friday.

Please PRAY!!

Hey guys,

Please say some prayers for me, as I threw out my back yesterday morning. I've been laid up in bed the last two days, and probably will be again tomorrow. The worst part is that I can't stand up, walk, or sit in a chair. I think God's teaching me something, as I'm learning a lot about how to depend on the spouse this week!!!

who can host?

we are still covered up with boxes! Can anyone host with everyone bringing an app or dessert? BYOB of course!!!

Friday meeting

Hey guys,
I have to flake on hosting this week. I got called out of town at the last minute for this week, and I won't be able to come home until at least Friday night.
