We are the Drake's

The first 25 years of our marriage we didn't have digital cameras, let alone computers......It is not until after our 1st grandchild actually is born before we get a cameras, so its rather wordy, not by pictures, then we have pictures, so please bare with me.....Mark and I got married in April of 1979. The day was the 20th day of April, and it was the most wonderful day in my life. We just went to the Court House and got married...When you know something is right, its just right.
Justin our son, was born March 9 1980, and then Tiffiany our daughter was born January 13th 1982. We kinda adopted another son Bradley Turner along about the time Justin was in the 4th grade. He has a wonderful mom, he just kinda stayed with us a lot, and we called him our son, he is now grown and living in Lufkin Texas as a youth Pastor, but he is still our son. Over the years so much has happened and time flew by so fast. I'm going to post a few pictures later, and talk about some of those times, but for now I just wanted you to know who we are....We are the Drakes.....Mark, Becky, Justin, TIff, and of course Brad. We are a Blessed family. Our New additions have been Brandi--- Justin and her were married on April the 20th 2002,yes, it is the same date as our anniversary, what an Honor to celerate the same wedding date as your son, just different by about 23 years or so. Then there was Jordan---- Tiffiany and him were married on March the 8th 2003. Then we had a few more additions, Justin and Brandi had a beautiful baby girl Preslee Reese on March the 4th 2005, then Tiffiany and Jordan gave us another beautiful granddaughter on June the 30th 2006, and this coming April or May Justin and Brandi will be delivering our 1st grandson, Landon Kade....We have been growing by leaps and bounds, and it is all so wonderful.....Jordan and Tiffiany and Shelby are actuallys the Campbell Family....but we kept them under the Drake family as it all I know how to do right now.....I'm learning.......

Happy Easter

Hi everyone,
we had a great Easter, we went to an Easter Play on Saturday Night from our church...It was one of the most amazing things, I've ever witnessed.....It was just the traditional Easter story, but it was truley amazing, not a dry eye anywhere near me, and my friend, that went with us, both her grandchildren went down and accepted Christ as their Savior........It was remarkable......we also went to Justin and Brandi's house on Easter Sunday for dinner, I think there were about 30 or so of us, and we had a great time, I'm going to post some pictures as soon as I learn how to get them from the camera.......hahahaha
It was a great day and we are all truely Blessed.
My cousin Amy that I've spoke with most of you about, she has cancer from a tumor on her ovarie, and is now in her second week of chemo, she had a pretty rough day, on Monday, but we will continue to pray for her healing, and I know she will be done with this auful thing really soon.....much love to all Becky Drake
