Beach Trip 2011

So, after a lovely visit from my parents this past Wednesday and Thursday, I took the weekend off for a beach weekend with the girls! We stayed in Port A and had a great condo with a view of the beach. On Friday night after work, I drove down a group of us. We had way too much fun on the drive down. I don't think there was a moment where there wasn't laughter and smiling. Funniest part about the road trip was the 30min I wasted trying to find a bathroom on the island. We probably could have made it to the condo by the time I found a restroom that was open.

Once we made it to the condo, we ate dinner and hung out. The next day, we headed to the beach! I was surprised at how nice this beach was compared to JP Luby. I guess I was missing out all those years by staying on the island...hahaha. I pretty much slept and listened to music the whole day. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Praise God for such a nice day!



That evening, we cleaned up and went to dinner. Then we had an evening of games and a girly Jane Austen movie!! On Sunday, we ate breakfast and hit the road again. Another great road trip with a pit stop at Dairy Queen. I thoroughly enjoyed my hot fudge sundae! I had so much fun this past weekend, hanging out and hitting the road with the girls! What a wonderful weekend!

I will post pictures soon! :o)

SNOW!!!

Yes, its true. It really snowed in San Antonio... and stayed on the ground!! I can't believe it! Too bad I brought work home just in case. I hope everyone enjoys their Friday!! :o)

Hello 2011!!

Well, as usual, I am WAY behind in bloging about Christmas and the New Year. Its difficult to find the time to write and post during the long work hours lately. I had a blessed and amazing Christmas with the family. We enjoyed almost two full weeks together in Corpus. It was difficult to say goodbye after all the wonderful moments we had together.

Here are a couple pictures of our family at church on Christmas:




Coming back in January, I dove straight into the January tax filings. It left me with little time for much else until this past weekend. I took the weekend off so that I could go with my church friends to work on a house for Habitat for Humanity. We had a blast, even if our siding project was less than successful...hahaha.

I will try to get some pictures posted from Christmas and Habitat soon! Happy New Year!!! :o)

Thanksgiving 2010

Visit to Corpus

Last weekend, I took a Friday off and visited Corpus. It was such an enjoyable trip! I spent Thursday night with Mom and Dad, eating one of my favorite meals and watching some TV.

The next day, I went to see Mom's new 1st grade classroom. I had so much fun sing songs and making Halloween masks with the kids. After I left Mom's school, I visited with Aunt Dordie for a little while. Then, I met up with Becky for some coffee/catchup time. Before I knew it, it was time to head to dinner with Aunt Rose and Uncle Bobby. They took me to the Yacht Club for dinner. It was so nice to catch up and to sit by the water and enjoy some seafood. After dinner, Aunt Rose made me a special cup of tea with real ginger in it. It was delicious! The rest of the evening, I got to hang out with Becky and her friends. They were making jack-o-lanterns. It was a delightful evening.

Saturday was my day to catch up and hang out with Mom and Dad some more. We went all around town looking at different things. One of our stops included a furniture store that got me thinking about purchasing new sofas. After a full morning of walking and shopping, we ate at a delicious Chinese buffet. There isn't anything better than a nap after a full meal, so I took a nap once we made it home. We spent the rest of our time chatting and watching TV. It was so nice to spend some time at home! Looking forward to Thanksgiving in less than a month!!! :o)

A"maize"ing time in Hondo

Today Sunday school class headed to the Hondo corn maze for a little fun. We had a blast running thru the mazes, playing in the hay, and jumping around acting silly. Here is a photo recap of our day!

Camping

Last weekend my girls and I went camping. It was interesting to say the least. Since many of you know I am not a camper, I'm am sure you will laugh at how I spent the night at the cabin. Megan was kind enough to share a bed with Rita and I. We ended up on an air mattress. Unfortunately, the mattress had a leak, and every hour the mattress deflated. I don't know if it was just the complete lack of sleep, but it was so hilarious!!

The next day we had a wonderful devotional time on the river and enjoyed hanging out in God's country. Here are a few pictures of our fun time!!
