I guess with the move and being closer to friends and family, we didn't really feel the need to blog about our life anymore.<br />
<br />
A lot has happened in the past (almost) two years, and especially, in 2013. We have two new additions to our family. Our Australian Labradoodle, Beatrice.<br />

<br />
I mean, how cute is that dog? Seriously. HOW CUTE IS SHE!!! <br />
<br />
AND, our firt baby. We have decided to move blog locations, so to find out about our new journey and to continue to follow our lives, go to <a href="http://www.chroniclesofclay.com/">www.chroniclesofclay.com</a>Lauren and Wesleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16955462383567883635noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500290002585598710.post-74450127290151033242012-01-18T21:01:00.000-06:002012-01-18T21:01:20.418-06:00Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson.

Well, the time has come and the rumors are true.... We are moving to Jackson, MS!! Wesley and I have always talked about what it would be like to write this post and to actually be moving back to the South. I really can't describe it though - a little bit anxiety, a lot of happy... but also a lot of stress! <br />
<br />
Wesley has accepted a job with the new Governor as his Health Policy Advisor. Needless to say, I am so proud of him!! I, on the other hand, do not have a job yet. Perhaps I will be a lady of leisure for a while... :) But if anyone has any ideas for a job for me, I am all ears!! We are so excited to be closer to family and friends, and of course Oxford. :) We have appreciated all the love and support we have received over the past (almost!) 4 years we have been in DC. We couldn't have made it this long without yall and without yall welcoming us home with open arms everytime we visited. But now we are coming home for good - and we couldn't be happier.Lauren and Wesleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16955462383567883635noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500290002585598710.post-8393131081669323972012-01-12T13:49:00.000-06:002012-01-12T13:50:13.891-06:00HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO USI can't believe it has already been four years since we tied the ol knot. We are celebrating by heading to Charleston, South Carolina for the weekend. While trying to figure out exactly to say about our marriage, I came across my post from last year. I could not write anything better ever in my life about Lo. I will now direct you to that post.<br />

She did an amazing job, and everything was wonderful. I want to thank everyone who came out and celebrated the evening. I truly am blessed with great friends and family.<br />
<br />
May my next thirty years bring more love, laughter, a bigger family, great health, career satisfaction and success, a home in the South, and most of all, a better relationship with God. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
So my friend Emily is just bursting with great content for
blog posts. This is much better than the previous political post. It really
hits home right now for us. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“The truth is there are a million steps, and we don’t even
know what the steps are, and worse, at any given moment we may not be willing
or even able to take them; and still worse, they are different for you and me
and they are always changing. I have come to believe the sooner we find this
truth beautiful, the sooner we will fall in love with the God who keeps shaking
things up, keeps changing the path, keeps rocking the boat to test our faith in
Him, teaching us to not rely on easy answers, bullet points, magic mantras, or
genies in lamps, but rather rely on His guidance, His existence, His mercy, and
His love.” </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>THE FENCE</b> </u></span></div>
<br />
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test.<br />
<br />
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.<br />
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.<br />
<br />
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.<br />
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.<br />
<br />
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.<br />
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.<br />
<br />
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.<br />
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.<br />
<br />
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.<br />
Democrat's demand that those they don't like be shut down.<br />
<br />
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.<br />
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.<br />
<br />
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it..<br />
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.<br />
<br />
If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.<br />
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".Lauren and Wesleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16955462383567883635noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500290002585598710.post-86259039232116899392011-12-25T10:50:00.002-06:002011-12-25T10:53:14.671-06:00MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL<div style="text-align: center;">

Last month, I had the opportunity to visit the most beautiful place on earth, Oxford, Mississippi. The beauty of this town is known to everyone in the state and to many national publications. <br />
<br />
Below are a few of the pics I was able to capture during my visit. Love that place.<br />

Post Oxford, I headed to another amazing town, Columbus, and met up with
my family, including Lo, who came down from Nashville. Columbus, as
usual, was so nice and relaxing. Lo and I ran a couple of times down at
the Riverwalk and walked around downtown. We had great Thanksgiving lunches and dinners with the
family and a crackly bonfire night at my parent's house. It was good to
be back, even if for a brief moment. We captured a few memories from
that time below.<br />

At any point during my years at the KA house, this could have happened to me and my friends. I can only imagine what these guys are going through. The Madison Country Journal has written a great article on these guys and just how close the Ole Miss community really is. You may leave Oxford, but you never leave Ole Miss. God bless these guys, their families, KA, and Ole Miss. <br />

- The three knew no separation in this life as the best of friends and
they are in eternity together now, which was the tone of a "A
Celebration of Life" worship service here memorializing three young men
Wednesday that drew thousands.<br /><br />Sam Clayton Kelly, Jr., 18, Walker
Kelly, 19, and Mason Wilbanks, 19, all Madison Central graduates and
freshmen at the University of Mississippi, died in a traffic accident
Sunday morning returning to Oxford for church with the fraternity they
were pledging after a surprise visit home to see their parents.<br /><br />The
wreck occurred at about 8:30 a.m. on Interstate 55 at the Vaiden exit
after the 2009 Infiniti Samuel Kelly was driving northbound veered off
the left side of the roadway and ended up overturned on Mississippi 35,
according to the Mississippi Highway Patrol. <br /><br />There were no
witnesses and all three died on impact, the authorities said. Willbanks
was the front passenger and Walker Kelly was in the back seat.<br /><br />Their lives were celebrated at Broadmoor Baptist Church on the Highland Colony Parkway where they were members.<br /><br />University
of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones invoked the Apostle Paul, using
words the disciple wrote to "those he loved in the Church at Corinth."<br /><br />"Praise
be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our
troubles...," he said. (See the Chancellor's full remarks on page A10.)<br /><br />One of the fathers of the men said as the service closed: "God is absolutely real."<br /><br />Expressing how all three professed a love for and belief in Jesus Christ, he said: "Don't let their lives be naught."<br /><br />The bond was so strong among the three that the families said it was only appropriate to combine the visitations and funerals.<br /><br />The
service lasted nearly two hours with several fraternity brothers from
Kappa Alpha Order speaking as well as others who knew them well.<br /><br />All
three avid Ole Miss fans, a recorded version of 'From Dixie with Love"
or "Slow Dixie" by the University's marching band was played as the
families exited the church. Some of those attending, including even the
senior minister, carried or had in their back suit pockets red Ole Miss
pom poms. <br /><br />Several charter buses and vans were used to transport
the overflow crowd of family, friends, Ole Miss students and other
well-wishers to the grave site. <br /><br />Hundreds of Madison Central
students lined the Highland Colony in front of the school waiting for
the funeral procession to pass.<br /><br />Students and teachers wept as the three black hearses passed slowly. <br /><br />Some drivers in the northbound lane stopped, got out of their vehicles and bowed their heads. <br /><br />Broadmoor
Baptist Church Pastor Rob Futral said that "Sunday morning changed our
lives forever" and commented on the outpouring of support the families
have received from the community.<br /><br />In trying to minister to the families, though, so many have been ministered to by them, he said.<br /><br />"Then and now we need to be together," he said. "The awesome outpouring of love from you has been amazing."<br /><br />In
explaining the title for the service "A Celebration of Life," Futral
said anyone who looks at the pictures of Sam Clayton, Walker or Mason
can see how they loved life. <br /><br />"It's a celebration of the life that they lived," Futral said. "It's a celebration because of where they are today."<br /><br />KA Pledge Trainer Trey Carroll spoke and told the parents that the brothers of Kappa Alpha "absolutely loved your boys."<br /><br />He pointed out how poignant it was that the three died together, saying they were a model of what true friendship is.<br /><br />Their lives showed what it meant to be friends and their deaths shows what it means to be friends, brothers in Christ, he said.<br /><br />"These three young men did not know separation in life or death and they leave together into eternity. <br /><br />"They were a model of what true friendship is," he continued. "We were so blessed and thankful to have had them in our lives."<br /><br />Like
many remembering the three friends, fellow Broadmoor member and KA
brother Brent Chancellor said he'll always remember their smiles. <br /><br />"You always saw them with each other and they always had a smile on their faces," he said. <br /><br />KA member Matt McDonald also spoke, telling the family they always put smiles on everyone's faces. <br /><br />"Each
family told me how much they looked up to us and how much we were going
to teach them," McDonald said. "I'd like to completely disagree. I'd
like to say they have taught us more than we could have ever taught
them."<br /><br />Madison Central High School Principal Edith Mitchell said
what impressed her the most is how the community at large has rallied
behind the three families. <br /><br />"I think the outpouring of love and
support for these three families has been amazing," Mitchell said. "It's
truly a testament to this community.<br /><br />"These three fine young
men, these three fine young Christian men, touched so many lives in just
a short time on this earth," she added. <br /><br />Chancellor Jones told
the parents: "We were fortunate to have your sons in our lives - in the
Ole Miss family - and are profoundly grateful for the joy they brought
to us. In a large university, there is not the opportunity for us to
know all of our students on a personal level. But in the last four days,
through the voice and words of those in the Ole Miss family who knew
and loved your sons, I've had the privilege to come to know them very
well. Just as you are, we are very proud of them." <br /><br />The
Chancellor went on: "A line in the University's alma mater reads: 'There
Ole Miss is calling, calling, To our hearts' fond memories.'<br /><br />"It
is comforting to know that in the days ahead, whenever the KA's, the
Madison Central Ole Miss students, or any of the Ole Miss family who
knew and loved your sons gather in the Grove or anywhere on our campus,
they'll carry in their hearts fond memories of your sons."</span>

I don't know when I suddenly started making pancakes like a mad woman, but since this summer I seem to wake up on Sunday mornings and want pancakes. I have tried tons of recipes and ingredients - blueberry, chocolate chip, raspberry....... but since it is now fall, and I am obsessed with pumpkin, I had to try some pumpkin pancakes. I have to say these are hands down the best pancakes I have made in a while, and they are healthy too. They are super easy so you should definitely try them out. And get a griddle. What did I do before my stovetop griddle?! Happy Sunday.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes </b></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
1 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour<br />1 Tablespoon Baking Powder<br />¼ teaspoons Salt<br />½ teaspoons Cinnamon<br />¼ teaspoons Nutmeg<br />2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar (or 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar and 1 Tablespoon Stevia)<br />⅓ cups Pumpkin Purée<br />1 whole Egg<br />1 cup Milk<br />½ teaspoons Vanilla<br />2 Tablespoons unsweetened apple sauce (Can also sub in 2 Tablespoons butter) </div>
<br />
Mix the dry ingredients together in one
bowl (flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar).
Whisk the rest of the ingredients together in another bowl (pumpkin,
egg, milk, vanilla and applecause). Make a little well in the dry
ingredients - add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing
until just
combined. Let the batter rest for a few minutes. Pour 1/3 cup of batter
onto a pre-heated griddle on medium
heat. Wait until the batter bubbles a bit around the edges and flip.
Cook until both sides are lightly golden. Enjoy!<br />

I was a counselor at Camp Henry Pratt in Columbus. I have many
memories of those fun days. One of my campers, Ruby Jane, was deathly
allergic to dairy. To ease her mother's thoughts, I took it upon me to make sure Ruby Jane did not ingest anything that
had the scent of cow. Since those days, she has become quite the artist.
In 2005, <a href="http://www.rubyjane.org/">Ruby Jane</a> became the
youngest invited fiddler in history to
play the Grand Ole Opry, sharing the stage with Opry legend Mike
Snider. Now 16, she plays 11 different instruments and has played at
many other venues including another stint at the Grand Ole Opry and
Lollapalooza.<br />
<br />
Last night, she played at <a href="http://www.hillcountrywdc.com/menu.dc">Hill Country</a> in Chinatown, so Lo and I, along
with our buddies, Jackson and MVB, went down to grab some bbq and listen
to Ruby Jane. And boy did she rock it. Below are a couple of pics and
videos of her performance.<br />

Not so much, but I will agree with what he said this morning. "As long as the Good Lord keeps me on the earth, healthy and happy, I don't care about the age." May his patience and OURS grow stronger with his age.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody translationEligibleUserMessage" data-ft="{"type":3}">Just
a thought. What if Steve Jobs' mom would have aborted him when her
father disapproved of her pregnancy? She chose to give the little life
an opportunity to live. She chose to give him up for adoption so that he
could thrive. Think about that while you play on your iPhone, your iPad, watch
an animated movie in 3-D at home, and enjoy your music through an ipod. </span></span></h6>
