Meet our sweet baby girl! Blayne Logan West

Last Thursday, Brad and I found out that our baby girl is healthy and doing great. She didn't want to show off her little face. I hope that she will let us get a sneek peek in when we have the 4D ultrasound in April.

I can't wait to meet her in July!

It's been a long time...

Wow, almost a year has pasted since my last post. A lot has happened in that year! Some good, bad, happy and sad. Sometime around March I sunk into a funk and really didn't even know how to express my feelings. 2009 is defintely a year that Brad and I will remember for the rest of our lives.

Our 2009 (starting in February)

We celebrated my Daddy Feck's 90th birthday. This man is so incredibly strong and is such an inspiration. Every conversation with him either starts with a joke or ends with a joke.

I'm Still here...

I know it has been forever since I have posted anything on here, but we have been extremely busy with basketball season. My goal for this week is to post about somethings that have been going on here.
I hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Better Late than Never???

For the past four years my family has met up at the lake house for an old fashion Christmas. This event is filled with gag gifts, karoke, games, good food, and tons of laughter. This Christmas tradition has become one of my favorites! We start out the night with eating some of the best food you could ask for. Then we move right into the gag gifts (my favorite part). At Thanksgiving we draw names for the OFC gifts. In order to get a good gag gift you need to be looking for the whole year. Needless to say I have some great ideas for some people, I am just waiting to draw their names! Once the gift exchange is over my abs have had the best workout of the whole year. To add to the laughter we play games and sing karoke. This year Tripp joined us in karoke. I'm thinking he definitely didn't get the Hensley voice (Praise Lord!).
Here are some pictures of the Hensley's OFC 2008!

I can't wait for next year for so good ol redneck fun! I might have to rig the name drawing so I can get the name I NEED.

So this is Christmas...

One of my very favorite Christmas songs is Another Year Has Gone By by Celine Dion. After listening to this song today in the Christmas traffic I began to think about the things that I have accomplished this year and the things that I would like to accomplish in the coming year.
Here is a list of some of my accomplishments for 2008...
~Planned my dream wedding.
~Married my best friend.
~Became an aunt to a wonderful little boy.
~Graduated with my Masters.
~got a job in an AWESOME school that is only 10 min. from my house (for those of you that don't know this is the first year that I haven't had to drive 30+ min. to get to work).

Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in the hustle of this fast pace life! But all of these accomplishments are due to my Savior. He has blessed me with a wonderful life and wonderful people that I love dearly.

I look forward to what God has in store for coach and I!!

The Christmas Hustle!

I absolutely love this time of the year, but it is always so busy. It kindof is hard to slow down and enjoy it.
This week I will start of by having two Christmas parties. Yes that is two nights that I don't have to worry about what we will have for dinner. Okay lets be honest,two nights that I don't have to drive somewhere to get dinner. Thursday night I will be making a mad dash to Mena to help out with the Tour of Homes. My mom has agreed to add her house to the tour. She has worked so hard to make everything just perfect. I can't wait to see the finished product on Thursday. I will post some pictures if my camera will corporate with me. Last but definitely not least coach and I are heading to Fayetteville on Friday night to view the square lights, and then head on up to Branson on Saturday for my dad's Christmas party.
The dryer if beeping at me so I better go. Have a great Monday!
