My Visit to VA Beach to see AMY!!

This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of visiting my dear friend Amy in Virginia. She picked me up at the airport around lunchtime Thursday, and that is when all the fun started. Once we ate lunch and I got settled in, we started working on a puzzle! This is why I love hanging out with Amy... we can have fun doing just about anything. Before we knew it, it was dinner time. We went out to one of Amy's favorite places on the water called Chicks. They had wonderful seafood! We got souviner tshirts too. After hanging out there for a while, we ventured over to Amy's PT job and played some pool. That night we started our three day slumber party. We spent the night in the entertainment room watching movies! It was so much fun!!

The next day we headed to the beach for a while, and of course worked on the puzzle some more. :o) After we cleaned up from the beach, we got all dressed up and went to a nice restureant on the boardwalk. It was goregeous! We had a lot of fun until I got cold...lol. Then began night two of falling alseep to movies!!

Saturday was our busiest day. We got to go to this private WWII airshow! I had a blast seeing all the classic planes take off and fly around. They had all these different areas set up like the different branches of the military from back then. My two favorite planes were the P-40 Warhawk (painted like a shark... so cool!!) and the P-51 Mustang (Cadillac of the Sky!!). There was also music playing from that era, which was delightful to sit and enjoy like they did back in the day. After the airshow, we spent the evening watching more movies and having a mini spa treatment. What a fun day!!

Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time on Sunday to finish the puzzle... in fact I even left the border unfinished. Amy promised to keep me apprised of the progess on the puzzle. I will have to post a photo when it finally gets completed. All in all, it was a wonderful little vacation! I am so glad I got to spend some time with Amy! :o)

Great Weekend!!

This past weekend was amazing!!

My parents came up on Friday night after work. We went to Chuy's for a nice dinner, then back to my house to sleep. We woke up in the morning, and I had the pleasure of making my parents waffles and bacon. It was such a joy to host a breakfast for my parents!

After breakfast, we drove up to San Marcos to celebrate my cousin, Matt's graduation from grad school. I won't even begin to explain the thesis he worked on. I still claim the title is written in a foriegn language. :o)We had lunch with the family and headed back to SA. We had a little bit of time before my parents had to leave, so we drove around some neighborhoods nearby my area of town. I found one that I decided Mom and Dad should move into, but we'll see what God has in mind. :o)

Once the parents headed back on the road for Corpus, the mission team headed over. We spent the entire evening cooking and hanging out. I had a blast spending the evening with everyone, and I look forward to serving God with them in July! Our bake sale was a success, with over $300 raised in our Sunday school class. I nice start to the approximately $20,000 we have to raise as a team! God certainly does provide!

Here are a couple pictures of the team that was at church on Sunday. Keep a lookout for this picture in the mail!




And a silly photo thanks to Joe. :o)
