Farewell Tour

My farewell tour across Texas continued this weekend with a roadtrip to Austin. I got to visit with an old friend from high school. This is Jen and Jerry (not to be mistaken for Ben and Jerry...jen, maybe ya'll should go into the ice cream business??) Cogburn. It was such a blessing to catch up and just be encouraged by all that God has done and is doing in your lives!!


Next stop....Sabinal....to visit my cousin Donna, her husband Jay and their precious kiddos.....this is Miles. He's 5 years old and full of energy! I got to play Tonka with him and hear all about roping calves. Our visit was filled with Donna's good cooking, some antique/junk shopping (what's a visit in our family without going antiquing?) and chasing kiddos around. Thanks for a great weekend!


Meet Audrey (in pink) and Bailey (in green). These are the first twins that I know of in our family. How cute are they? Full of energy, loud squeels, and of course, their favorite word, NO!

I LOVE TEXAS!!

With this "Welcome" sign, I think Hondo, Tx will become one of the fastest growing towns in the US. Who wouldn't want to live in God's country!?!

Born in the USA

I've always wanted to visit all 50 states before I die, so far, I've visited 35 states (I can't remember if I've been to Utah, so maybe 36??).....thanks to mom and dad and what I thought were those deadly summer 50-day car trips across the US. Now, I'm really thankful for those trips, because they allowed me to see so may different things....like Mt. Rushmore, Niagra, the Badlands, the petrified forest....and of course we can't forget puking on the White House lawn. Thanks, mom and dad, for all the fun memories!! Next on the list....California!

check this out...it's sad to say that i at one time have attempted pretty much all his moves, except maybe the catepillar. what about you??

can't believe i'm doing this.....

So, it's 12 midnight and I have crazy insomnia for some reason(which for anyone who knows me well, knows that I've normally been asleep for a few hours by now)....so, after trying relentlessly to get myself to sleep by praying, gettin' in the Word, I finally gave up and sat down at the computer. After thinking through to do lists for the upcoming weeks (I'm moving, in case you didn't know) I was still wide awake...so, what to do next....create my own Blog of course! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING THIS!!! I am so not an internet girl, and I never thought in a bagillion years I would do this, but here I am....I think the main reason I think having a Blog is a good idea is to keep up with friends and family as I journey off to Tennessee. I pretty much stink at keepin' in touch these days, so why not get a head start....this my small attempt at keeping in touch with people I won't see for a while, in hopes that those relationships will continue as I head off to Tennessee. So, if you're one of those people, keep in touch as I attempt to do the same....and who knows maybe a little fun and laughter will be brought to you via the Blog :)
