Houston, we have a HEARTBEAT!

Well, as you can see from the attached pictures, we are expecting our first BABY! We went to the doctor today and could see a little flashing heartbeat!

SO, GET READY WORLD!

ANOTHER CORLEY IS ON THE WAY!

New House

NEW HOUSE

Well, we are just about set up in our new house. Jessica has been working like crazy to get everything in the "right" place. See below for pics!

Jo Lynn's Belated 30th B-day in Houston

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JO LYNN!

Jo Lynn is down this week for a Summer Institute Week helping college-bound students and is staying with us. Her birthday was yesterday, but we celebrated tonight! We caught her by surprise with this scrumdidliumptious cake!

Happy 1-Year Anniversary to US!

Happy 1-Year Annivesary to US!

We had our 1-year anniversary on June 3rd. We celebrated on Saturday by going out to a very nice restaurant and eating like kings (c'mon, you guys...you knew that is what I was going to do before you read this, didn't you!?)

Oh! Did I mention that I sent Jessica a small bouquet of red roses and stargazer lillies?

They smelled sooooo good too!

I also ordered Jessica a bottle of wine from a Corley Family Vineyard in Napa Valley, CA. I doubt there is any relation, but that it would be a neat surprise!

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Jessica and I just got back from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! Her parents, Lewie and Elaine, own a corner suite time share there! IT WAS AWESOME! Check out the pics below!

Getting Ready to FLY!

Me and the Pilot - WAY UP IN THE AIR!

View of the Beach

WOW!

At 2000 feet he cut the engine off and we glided for a while!

I saw 7 sea turtles, one sting ray, and 1 sword fish!

Cindo De Mayo Weekend

CINCO DE MAYO WEEKEND!

Mom, Dad, Gina, and Jo Lynn all came down to visit Jessica and me this weekend. As you can see, we had a lot of fun! We spent the weekend exploring Clear Lake, shopping, and eating good fun (did I mention we laughed a lot too?).

Kaden Nichols Update

Jessica and I went to Texas Children's Hospital this weekend to pay Mr. Kaden a visit. He was sleeping quite a bit (with the occasional full body stretch!). Not much had changed with him at the time, but I got word today (Sunday) that things were looking UP!!!!

His intestines are showing some VERY positive signs of working properly. So, needless to say, Brian and Heather are feeling better about things. Kaden still has some hurdles to jump before heading to East Texas, but I'm sure Mr. Terry can save introducing him to the log trucks and skidders until he feels 100%!

2007 Astros Home Opener

Jessica and I went to the 2007 Astros Home Opener this year! We went with some friends and sat down at the Patio Restaurant in Center Field. WHAT GREAT SEATS!

Roy Oswalt pitched 8 innings (see him warming up below), but I guess that wasn't enough (Brad Lidge gave up a 2-1 lead in the 9th - a home run). The Astros lost, but that didn't stop us from having a great time!

Heck, we even had a brief minute on television as Luke Scott pounded a home run right into our section! No....I didn't get the ball!

See you later!
