Did you hear something pop?

Dr. Rouse and I strain as we heave this 750 lb antique oven up on blocks to prepare it for the new addition on their house. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Congratulations Anna and Ethan!!!

I wonder if Anna is excited to be married?

Awwww...

I love you Anna!!

...And for the third time, I (Nick) had the honor to walk down the aisle with the most beautiful girl in the world!! 

Welcome back to AU Katie!

Katie it was so good to see you and to meet your special "friend"!

Hanging out with Anna's bridesmaids for the weekend was so fun. You girls are a blast! We went non-stop from the lingerie shower, bachelorette party, bridesmaid luncheon, rehearsal and wedding day brunch but it was all worth it! 

We found it!!

Dell's Den...nuff said! ("Atlanta, I got a message for ya, if you make a mess you betta clean it up!" -Dell)

Happy birthday to you...

CJ blows out a whopping 23 candles...man she's gettin up there! Thanks momma Rouse for the incredible cookie cake. It was so special to have the whole family there for my birthday.

Congratulations Clark and Katherine!

Here is the new happy couple leaving their reception.

Here we are right before we got to walk down the aisle together again, at Kat and Clark's wedding. It was a beautiful Italian outdoor wedding and reception. 

The four amigas...

(Left to right) Anna, Katherine, Annslee and Christina, had such a great time at Katherine's wedding day brunch. It was a busy day filled with helping Kat pack for her honeymoon and getting ready for "main event".

The "boys"

And summertime begins...

I am going to miss those little munchkins this summer, but I'm pumped about 2 months of freedom! As you can probably imagine we got nothing done on the last day of school. All in all it was a great first year of teaching.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Mrs. Brannen and I had so much fun at the Redeemer, Mother's Day luncheon. The Gore's garden was so beautiful and the food and fellowship was fantastic.

And it's one, two, three strikes your out....

My boy Lee and I look on as our church softball team crushes the competition.

Twinkies...

We promise we didn't call Megan and Lee before church...great minds just simply think alike.

Rain, rain, go away!

Another pic from the bike race, our buds Matt and Alisha didn't let the rain spoil the fun.

On your marks, get set......GO!

We had a blast last weekend at the twilight criterium bike race in downtown Athens.

Big Apple here I come!

This was a sad day, I was holding back the tears as Nick left for his big trip to New York City. A Georgia peach hits the Big Apple!! (for you Momma Rouse)

Boy we had a great time at the crawfish boil...but my goodness why didn't someone tell me to stop eating!?! Hey Kat and Clark, 12 days and counting!!

Isn't he cute!

Juanya stops for "one second" to enjoy the fruits of his labor...umm umm!

Busy as a bee!
