Go Buffs!

These are exciting times in the Williams household. Just last week, James was named the new Head Football Coach and Campus Athletic Coordinator at Fort Bend Marshall High School! Many of you know that this has been a career goal for James - to change the lives of young people through athletics. With the position comes a lot of responsibility. So keep James and our family in your prayers. We know that God doesn't provide opportunities without also giving your everything you need to be successful!

Here is an article published in the from the FortBend Sun:

Go Buffalo!

Beauty a la Groovy

Janai celebrated her 6th birthday in early January. After much negotiation, I managed to bribe her into not having a big birthday bash. Instead, we celebrated for a few days. Her birthday landed on a Tuesday. James dropped off "Princess and the Frog" cupcakes and ice cream to share with all of her classmates at school. Later that evening, we had dinner as a family at a restaurant of Janai's choosing... or maybe not! She actually wanted Red Lobster, but we've done the mommy-daughter date there too many times before. So we introduced her to Joe's Crab Shack instead. She ordered the crab legs, and of course mommy had to crack and pick the crabs while she gobbled away. Where I grew up, in order to eat crabs, you had to know how to crack them for yourself!

On the following Saturday, I took Janai and her friend Jasmine for an appointment at Beauty a la Groovy. There they had manicures, pedicures, up-dos, and make-up done. We followed that up with a girls' lunch at Olive Garden. This somehow turned into a slumber party that included an evening of movies and popcorn. On Sunday, we went to church, had brunch, dinner... and Jazz left in the evening. So much for a smaller birthday shin-dig!
