10 months of Texas :)

Can't believe I have been in Texas for 10 months :) It has been great so far! We have made so many great friends here. I really like my new job and all my co-workers. San Antonio is a fun place to live. We are Zoo members....we have a awesome Zoo......and have season passes to Six Flags. Jackson has got to fish on some of the famed lakes here and I have been to a couple tournaments on them. Everyone thinks since I work in fishing that I get to go all the time but I have not been once yet. We have a tournament in Oct at Lake Amistad so hopefully I will get to wet a line there. We recently signed up for flag football and softball leagues with our roommate. It's fun to do something competitive again. We also have a whiffle ball leagues with some of my coworkers and friends. I forgot how much fun whiffle ball was. We miss our families so I'm excited to see everyone next month for Joe and Leah's wedding :) Then we will be back in Bama for Thanksgiving. Here are some random fun Texas pictures :) Enjoy!

Happy Bday Jackson....Memories in my Mind

First Happy Bday to my sweet Jackson!!!! (on Sat Aug 4)  We started the bday off with a road trip to Houston. Our friends just moved there about a month ago. We got there kind of late on Friday and stayed up way to late catching up. They are so dear to us and we love being around them. Cole our roommate with us  too. Paige and Chad have two sweet boys so we all got up early Sat because the boys were so excited to see us. After breakfast we got ready to go to a shower for our cousins Joe and Leah :) It was such a sweet shower. Leah is perfect for Joe!! I love to see the love they have for each other. We got to see Coach and Anne too! Love them!!! After the shower we went to Paige's parents house for some swimming.  They are the sweetest people!! After a day of swimming, hanging out, and going on the boat Steve Paige's dad made Jackson a big steak dinner. It was a perfect Bday for Jackson! I also remembered a story Jackson told me when we first started dating like 5 years ago about a birthday cake he had when he was younger. They all loved Army men when they were younger so Jackson wanted an Army man cake. Well what he got was a man in an all brown suit......Army men have camo not just brown. So this year I made him an Army man cake.

Don't judge it was made with love

At this time I would post all kinds of pictures of the fun things we did BUT I was having to much fun to take out my camera. Looking back I wish I would have taken a ton of pictures to remember all the fun we had with our friends but I'm glad that all the fun, love, friendships, and memories are burned in my mind :) God really has blessed us with some life long friends here in such a short time.

Best Baby Shower Ever!

I went to Bama last weekend for my friend Chelsey's baby shower. I got into Florence Friday night to help Jess get everything ready. I also got to see baby Deegan for the first time :)

He was looking at me :)

After my wonderful visit with Beau, Sarah and Deegan I was back to help Jess. We cleaned up the house, got some treats ready, and talked about some games to play. We were both pretty tried so we called it an early night. The next morning we watching the Olympics when we get the call. Our sweet Chelsey was having contractions and was at Helen Keller Hospital in Tuscumbia. So what did we do? Forget about the party.....NO.....take the party to her! Shiloh met us at Jess's and we packed up the party and headed to the hospital. Chelsey was not feeling her best but I think we lifted her spirits just by here and of course the presented helped too. It was so good to see her!! She is going to make the best mommy!! At first they thought she may have to stay for a while but she got to go home Sunday afternoon. I can't wait to meet Brayden.

Party at the hospital

I think we all will remember the BEST baby shower ever!!!
