Lorna came out and visited for awhile. We had a lot of fun. We worked on fixing up her motorhome. We spent time wandering around town. It was fun and we were sad to see her go. We went up to South First and played around with the Art they have on the divider.
So who is coming to visit us next? We can find some fun things to do!
We have finally arrived back home after the trip to Phoenix. We had a blast hanging out with friends and family. We got to see Francis, Joni, Chris, Ruth, Makayla, Mom, Carole, Jenni, Rachel, and Baby Hazel. Darrell learned a lot at his class and I had a very relaxing break.
We had dinner at the White Chocolate Grill with my family and Francis. It was really good!
I got to spend some time with little baby Hazel. I was a little sad, but I know that we will have one someday.
We also climbed up Camelback Mountain in the middle of Phoenix. We only got about a quarter of the way up since I was way out of shape. We had fun though and it was an awesome view!
Then the night before we left, we went out to eat at Margarittaville with Ruth, Makayla and Francis. Makayla got a few good photos with the camera and she also got a balloon princess crown that she shared with the guys.
All in all, it was a wonderful week. We really enjoyed the time we got to spend with friends and family. It made us want to move closer even more, but we have a few years to go before that is feasible.
This has been a busy month!
I have driven to a lot of football games. I have been incredibly busy at work doing a lot of little things.
This past weekend was the beginning of my month long of busy weekends of traveling. I drove a group up to Lubbock. While I was in Lubbock, my dad called and said that they were going to be in my area and wanted to stop and stay with us. So when I got back yesterday I got to spend time with my dad and uncle. It was so much fun!
This weekend I have to drive back to Lubbock on Friday night. Back home by early Saturday morning and then heading down to Fredericksburg for Oktoberfest and then Austin for the Bat Cruise. Then it is our trip to Phoenix. My mom is going to travel out to see us and is going to bring the baby. So I will get to see my niece!!!
I’m so excited for this month! But alas, I know that it is going to fly by and it will be over all to soon.
Hope y’all have a wonderful month planned!
So I have been mildly upset all week to say the least. I have spent a lot of time watching Netflix and reading books. Luckily I have a lot of books I need to read by October. It was very hard for us to call it quits this week. I guess you never realize how badly you want it until you aren’t given the opportunity to actually go through with it.
Of course it also happens to be an extremely hot summer here in Texas. We are breaking records left and right. We have had the most days above 100 degrees since 1948. We are also breaking the records for the hottest lows. Last night at 11pm it had cooled down to a whopping 93 degrees. Such a relief from the hot day right? Unfortunately, there is no end in sight.
We also have Darrell’s mom’s motorhome in our front yard. We are holding it for her until she can head down in October to pick it up. Meanwhile we are working on it and fixing it up for her. Today I went through the motorhome and pulled out everything that wasn’t attached. We are going to go through the stuff and get rid of the old stuff. We are planning on putting the dishes she will need into the motorhome. We are going to re-cover the cushions so they don’t look so worn. I know that it isn’t mine, but I am totally looking forward to helping fix it up. 🙂 It will help me keep my mind off of things. 😛 First steps first though, we have to get it into the mechanic to make sure everything is working and then see where we stand from there.
Darrell is going to go to a music thing tomorrow and I am heading to a co-worker’s daughters wedding with another co-worker so we can help out. This should be a very fun and long weekend!
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I know that we did.
We were invited to our neighbors party and so we hung out there most of the day.
Around 6:30 cst, my mom texted me to say that they were heading to the hospital because my baby sister was in labor. At 10pm cst, another text saying that she was at 7 and just chilling out. At 11 cst, she is at 9.5 and her water broke. Should be soon. I stayed up and was hanging out even though I should have been in bed since I had to be at work at 8. :/
Finally couldn’t stay awake, so I went to bed. Put the phone on silent and went to sleep. Couldn’t sleep very well (but I haven’t been sleeping well for the last week), so I didn’t get to sleep until around 2.
Hazel Ayn was born at 11:06 pst July 4th coming in at 8lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long.
Congratulations to my beautiful baby sister on her beautiful baby girl!
