My long-time family friend, Jillian, is getting married! I have literally known her since the day she was born and I am so excited to see her enter this new phase of life! We held a bridal shower for her at our house last weekend (before the brutal cold hit). Harper stayed for the party! I dressed her up in her party clothes and so of course, I had to do a photo shoot!
When Hudson got up from his nap he wanted to love on his little sister:
And of course – his favorite “cheese” face:
Keelan and Gates came over recently for a play date. The kids positioned the chairs to make it look like a car and took a trip…to where we aren’t sure! :)
Later it was time for a little light reading…
So, TWO of my sweet friends gave me an award! How fun!!! Meg is a sweet friend from college. I love reading her blog – she has an adorable little girl and precious twin boys!!! I honestly don’t know how she does it –but she does and she does it well! Kate is another sweet from college. She recently started blogging and I am SO glad she did! She is just as hilarious as was in our BU days and her kids are just as funny – and so cute! So, thank you both so much!!!
So…7 things about myself…
1. Never in a million years did I ever dream that we would be living in the city I grew up in. And I certainly never thought that my kids would go to the same high school I went to. But, I am honestly loving being here. We are close to my parents which I love. We live in a great neighborhood and I have met some wonderful new friends. We are right where we are supposed to be and I am so glad.
2. I absolutely love being a mom. The years I spent working post-college never truly fulfilled me. I feel like I am finally in the job that I was always meant to do.
3. I love Texas and I love living here. But, there are times that I wish I lived somewhere that truly had four seasons…you know, instead of four seasons in the same week. Or the beach. I would make a great beach bum.
4. I am a major planner. I am flexible and can handle if the plan changes, but I need to know a plan pretty much all the time.
5. I have been fortunate enough to experience quite a few neat events in my life. I have been to the Final Four, the Big 12 Championship and several Nebraska games (which our quite an experience – seriously). Trent and I have also had the chance to see a taping of Lettermen – twice. And we were lucky enough to sit on the front row – twice. :)
6. On that same note – I sold programs at Ranger games during high school and college. I started there the year the Ballpark opened. I got to sell programs at all of the playoff games in the 90s, the All-Star game and Kenny Rogers perfect game.
7. It will probably surprise no one that because of my loud voice – I was pretty good at selling programs. My super loud voice landed me on the news any time they were out there filming. The bad news is I ended up with nodules on my vocal cords that took several years to heal.
Now I would like to give this award to the following friends:
