Melton Memories

What a great day! Wayne and I went hiking Saturday morning and then out to breakfast. We then ran home for a quick change then out the door to the Wildlife Zoo on the west side. We had a really good time! We walked through the new aquarium (doesn't compare to the one in Tenn.) then took our time strolling around looking at all the animals. We decided our favorite was the Porcupines and the Giraffe's. We saw so many cool animals though... Did you know there is one called a Singing Dog?!! I have posted all the photos on my picasa web page. We also saw this ostrich that just cracked us up because he kept snapping at the air like he was catching bugs or something but there was nothing there! We got a good laugh out of him! We then finished out the day with dinner out! Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day like we did!! :)

I just wanted to tell you all Happy Valentine's Day!! I hope that you each get to spend a special day with your sweetheart! Wayne gave me 3 options for Valentine's Day (which totally caught me off guard) So I have opted for #2 which is going hiking at Pinnacle Peak Mountain followed by a trip out to the new Aquarium at the Wildlife Zoo then dinner at home together! :) Have a wonderful day!!!

I don't know how many of you are into Facebook, but I have really started to enjoy it! About 3-4 weeks ago I had a dream involving some people that I went to elementary school with (I have not talked to them since 8th grade, eeekk 21 years!) but I woke up feeling like God was really wanting me to try to find one girl in particular so thus my search on Facebook! Well, I found her, but not on facebook... through the process of looking for her I found quite a few girls that I had been friends with (we all went to school from pre-school - 8th grade, then lost touch when we went our seperate ways for high school) I was so excited!!! They in turn put me in touch with Cassie the girl I was looking for, who had been my best friend growing up!! It is so neat to talk with people and see how their lives are going and their beautiful children! :) If you have not tried facebook, I would recommend it, it is so much fun to find people that you have known your whole life.

Wow what a game!!! This was the first time I have sat/stood/screamed through an entire football game and been excited about it! We went to a friend of Wayne's house and cheered on the Cardinals. I have screamed like I have never done before during this game! I am very proud of the Cardinals for being in the Super Bowl but am so bummed that they didn't pass more instead of running the ball before the 4th quarter!! I felt that there were some pretty bad calls made against them as well! In the end I think they did a great job!!!! Way to go Cardinals!!!!

God has been truly blessing us lately!! Wayne has been able to pick up quite a bit of over-time between the Barrett-Jackson show & the TPC (which is normally very hard to get) Our business has picked up a lot too! We have been praying that if the Lord wants us to stay in business this year that he would show us by way of bringing more business to us and so far this month he has graciously blessed us with numerous large jobs!!! Yea God!!! I guess I just felt like sharing the fact that I feel God's presence throughout everything in my life right now and even though things are kinda scary with the economy it feels really good to know that God is all around me right now!!

Wow I can hardly believe it the Cardinals are going to the Superbowl!! Sounds like our friends Bri & John had a wonderful time at the game! We were a little nervous during the 3rd quarter... but they pulled it out in the end!! I loved the last play of the game, made it look like they were all out there just for the fun of it! Look out Steelers the Card's are in it to win it!!!!
