Well I have just started this blog to document what goes on in our daily life.   It all started almost 16 years ago (19 years if you count 3 years of dating) when Russell Graves and I got married.   The date of our wedding was September 11, 1993.  We were married on that Saturday at 6:00p.m.  We left later that evening and headed to our new life together.  We spent the night in Wichita Falls and headed to our new house in Childress the next morning.  The reason we had chosen to live in Childress which is about 250 miles away from any of our family is that Russell's dad said he needed to have a job before we got married.  He had just graduated from college as an ag teacher and that is where he got his first and only teaching job.  I also got hired at the elementary school as a teacher assistant.  We both had to be at work on that Monday.   Since we didn't have a long honeymoon, we went the next weekend to Amarillo, Texas and spent the whole weekend there.  Then we came back home and went back to work.
