Pay it Forward

The week after my trip to Bermuda was a pretty tame one. I worked most of the time, but I managed a little shopping time on Saturday. I went crazy and got several pairs of sandals at Dillards. If only I didn't have to get shoes to go with my Easter dress...lol.

On Sunday, I attended an informational meeting about the mission trip to Moldova. I am so excited to serve God overseas, even if it is only 10 days. All of the people that attended the meeting seem like genuine and fun people. I look forward to serving Christ with the people that sign up. After the meeting, several friends and I went to a Mexican food restaurant (not Chuy's, but still pretty good). We took our time eating and hanging out, and when it came time to pay the bill, we didn't have one! A man sitting near our table was impressed with our table, he paid for our lunch!! It was an amazing experience and a great way to start the week off. I just hope I can pay it forward soon.

I continued my spending binge on Monday. I redeemed some of my credit card rewards points and bought myself a treadmill. I am hoping the convenience of having one in my house will help me to start exercising in the morning before work. I guess we'll see how well I do...lol.

I am definitely looking forward to spending this weekend in Corpus with my parents, celebrating the salvation that Jesus Christ's sacrifice provided. Wishing all of you a blessed and happy Easter weekend! :o)

Bermuda

Hello All! Its been quite a while since I posted anything... I have been pretty busy this year with work and such. Luckily, business has provided me with a chance to go to beautiful Bermuda. Sadly, I cannot post all the photos separately because of the size, so I am attaching a slide show of my trip. Bermuda is clean, and the water is strikingly clear. The people in Bermuda are a joy to to business with, and I look forward to dealing with them more. They get their drinking water from the rains during the year, so all the houses have special roofs that collect the rainwater. All the roofs are painted white, which makes the villages look amazing. The village is very much how I would imagine the village from the show "The Prisoner" to be like. The last day we were in Bermuda, Lisa and I got a chance to go the the Aquarium and Zoo they have on the island. It was neat, and there was one part where you actually walked around with some of the tropical birds. All in all, a wonderful time on my business trip! :o)

Thanksgiving

Better late than never... here are some photos from my Thanksgiving trip to Corpus Christi. Good times! :o)

Lost Maples

This Saturday I went hiking with my church group at Lost Maples. The leaves were beautiful and the weather was terrific. We had a wonderful time enjoying eachother's company and the scenery around us. Here are my photos from the trip.

Housewarming Party

This weekend I hosted a housewarming party for some of my friends and colleagues. We had a nice time, and the breakfast wreath Mandy made up the recipe for turned out to be a huge hit!

Halloween

This year I participated in the annual costume competition at work. Six of us girls dressed up as a roller derby team and won 2nd place! Here are some pictures of us.

The New House

So, for the last two days my parents have been slaving away, helping me get the vast majority of my boxes unpacked and getting my house in a living condition. It all looks so wonderful now (I still can't believe how much we got done)! Words cannot express how much I appreciate all the work Mom and Dad did to get my house looking so great. Next time you see them you should tell them how awesome they are!

Here are some pictures:
