Jackie's Surgery & Celebrities

Geof's mom, Jackie, had pretty major surgery on Tuesday. She found out early December that she needed Cervical Spine Surgery to fuse degenerated discs and remove bone spurs from inside her spinal canal. It was actually done by a neurosurgeon. Jackie did great and was actually able to go home the day after surgery! Geof has talked to her I think once or twice, and Leland (his dad) has continued to keep us updated. I believe she will go back for a follow up appointment next week and start plans for physical therapy. She will be in a neck brace for at least 6 weeks from what I understand. Please pray for her recovery process. If you guys know Jackie, you know she is always on the move and involved with church, friends, etc.. Pray that she gets the rest she needs and is able to tolerate the pain medicines that tend to make her sick. I will try to keep you posted, but thanks for keeping her and Leland in your prayers the next few weeks!!

Nothing too new going on with us. We recently joined a new Life Group at church and we are having the BEST time!! It's so difficult to find those close friends around our age that are in the same walk of life we are in. They usually either have kiddos or are newlyweds just out of college. We feel like God has answered our prayers and given us this new group! We are having SO much fun getting to know everyone!!!

Several of you often ask if we ever see celebrities in Nashville. Yes. The two latest: I was singing on praise team a couple weeks ago and looked out to see Carrie Underwood at church. She lives near our church, so I'm assuming she was just visiting? not sure. Didn't see her last week. And about two weeks ago I had a meeting at work with a producer of a new show we're about to start shooting. When I was meeting with him, I kept thinking to myself, "I know this guy. He's famous somehow. I think he was a kid actor, but I can't place him... " I went home that night and googled him. Jason Hervey. The older brother from "The Wonder Years". Wayne. Ha! Pretty cool! Very nice guy.

Have a fun week!

Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was a BLAST! Everyone arrived safely in Nashville late Christmas night - and we kicked off the next day with a bang! The weekend was full of FOOD, GIFTS, playing Wii... and all sorts! It flew by so quickly!! Here are just a few pictures....
David acted like he was fainting when he saw the Transformer toy we got him for Christmas!

Here we are at the Aquarium Restaurant in the Opry Mills Mall.

We love to go see the lights at the Opryland Hotel every Christmas. SO beautiful!
