Well….Nancy I finally caved. It’s been 6 months since we had a little canine friend wandering the Pullen home. So this past weekend we traveled out to take a peak at litter of puppies…pug puppies. They were still a little too young to take home but we were given the opportunity of the pick of the litter. They were sooooo cute we decided to take them all. NO…just kidding. We did eventually pick our new little addition. A cute little feisty pug. We are tossing a few names around…maybe Wilbur. Any whooooo..we will pick up the little guy next weekend. I am sure there will be many pictures to follow.

Sunday we had to ‘fall back’ to standard time. The mornings come earlier and the night closes in sooner as the days get shorter. But there is still enough time for these ponies to enjoy the fall afternoons.

One of the nice things about working from your home…..when you need a break you just step out on the porch and take a deep breath. Today is my favorite kind of fall day. Nice and cool with just a light rain falling.
This photo is one of Nancy’s mums sitting on the front porch taking in the fall rain.

Our young crazy…..ehh…I mean couragous son Tyler jumped out of a perfectly working airplane today. Seems it was a birthday present from his girlfriend. Boy…that’s love!

It’s that time of year…one our favorite holidays. We got out all the Halloween decorations this past weekend. Nancy got out her favorite girls today. Before you know it there will all kinds of candy around the house. For the trick or treaters of course…..or is it?!?!

Today I decided to go for a late afternoon drive. Such a beautiful day after a week of gray clouds and rain. I found this fenced drive a couple miles from home. What struck me about it was the way the shadows just followed the road like there was no place else to travel.

Here is a short video of our anniversary trip to England and France. We had such a great time. I would have never had as much fun traveling to these wonderful places without my bride. I can’t wait till our next trip!!

Today is Fancy Nancy’s birthday. I just couldn’t resist this little photo from her recent past. A cute hat….pink dress….and a smokin’ Trike. She has always been the style leader. Let’s all wish my dream girl a happy…happy Birthday.

When I saw this old porch swing it reminded of an old Eddie Arnold song…one of my parent’s favorite singers. I couldn’t resist taking the photo.
It’s been there through the sunshine
It’s had it’s share of rain
Been a witness to some good times
And a like amount of pain
If it could tell it’s story
What a Violin could sing
That ol’ swing
That ol’ porch swing

It’s been about a month since I have written anything on this blog. It’s not that I haven’t had anything to say….just been busier than heck. Since July 4th I have had my days filled with happy, fun and profoundly proud times. I can’t remember being happier…and isn’t that what life is all about??
So what has happened over the past 30 days? Why I am glad you asked……let me take a deep breath and spit it out in one sentence….
Celebrated 25 years with the most beautiful, loving woman I have ever known and loved….spent a week on the beach, got sunburned and loved every painful moment….picked some juicy peaches…got to spend time with my parents and Nancy’s parents…saw Matt complete his genetics research position with his name listed on more than 4 published scientific papers…watched Matt presented with his first white jacket thus fulfilling his life long dream of going to med school and becoming physician…amazed as Tyler traveled off to points across the USA and Jamaica as a tennis professional…traveled to central Oregon with Nancy and explored the high plains desert….spent a lovely evening with friends which Nancy and I had not seen in over 20 years (we laughed until we cried)….saw Elvis in Memphis…watched the best PBR bull riders in the USA…..completed a two year project with a client bringing them successfully live on a new untried software system….wheewww.
As you can see I (and Nancy) have crammed a whole lot into the last 30 days. But what made this even better was doing many of these things as a family. The boys are getting older ( amazingly Nancy and I aren’t) and time together is getting hard to plan. So it was a pure joy to have everyone together. It has been a summer to remember.
It was hard to leave Matt in Memphis, watch Tyler drive off to Chattanooga and then fly out this morning leaving Nancy alone to tend to the homestead. But I just keep remembering I’ll be home in a few days and we can start planning our next family adventure!!

Nancy and I have had such a wonderful time in Ft. Walton this week. Celebrating our anniversary, spending time with family and seeing old friends again. It was a perfect week!
This was the sunset in Destin on our last day before we headeed back home.

Twenty five years ago I stepped out to the center of the alter next to Rev. Sid Locke and peered down the center aisle of the Fort Walton Methodist Church. With the bright sunlight pouring through the back stained glass window I saw the outline of an angel walking towards me. As the angel moved closer, I saw the face and figure of my beautiful bride come into focus. She moved to my side, reached out and took my hand. We said our “I Dos”, turned around and we started our lives together.
I could go on for pages and pages what the last 25 years have meant to me, to our lives together and our family. But there is just no way to fully express in words the happiness, joy, ecstasy and love Nancy has brought to my life.
I do know one thing. The last twenty five years has not been enough time to share all I want to share with my best friend. So today as family and friends help Nancy and I celebrate the first twenty five years of marriage, I want to celebrate the next twenty five years. Just like the first twenty five I want to reach out and take my brides hand. I want to turn around and head off to another twenty five years of loving, laughing and sharing all that life has to offer…..together. Even though we are a little older, I know it will be just as exciting because I still get that same feeling when Nancy’s hand touches mine!

Happy July 4th!! What’s more fun than a pack of sparklers and your Mom for an audience while you perform the dangerous dance of fire!! Follow this by a dazzling display of fireworks. This little boy was having a ball the entire evening.
I hope all my friends have just as much fun this holiday!!
