What a fun week so far!

Nothing to new and exciting is happening with us. I seriously miss Alabama, I loved it there! McAllen is a lovely place {can you sense my sarcasm} Bruce likes to say I lived in a bubble in Alabama because we were in a really nice area and all the fun stores were right by us... Here it is a complete different story. At least we are only here for a short time. It has been fun hanging out with friends again though! Bruce is still doing really good with his sales, and I am so proud of him. Yesterday I went to Target with Christanie and they had 24 season 7 on sale for only $25 so I had to buy it.... Bruce and I are now addicted to Jack Bauer again.... haha.

Sunday- We woke up and I made breakfast, then at 1:00 we went to church. We came home and relaxed for awhile while dinner was cooking and then we played games with Brookie & Dalan... Can I just say we are so happy they are out here with us, they have made this summer so much fun!!!

Monday- Brooke and I waited ALL day for the Bachelorette, Men Tell All to start... I have never been into one of the Bachelors and much as I am now, and i love it... I am dying to know who she picks next week! It was also one of the sales reps birthday so we had a little get together at our place for him. We had pizza and cake then played lots of games! It was a lot of fun. I could play games all day!

Tuesday- Christanie and I decided to go to Target so we looked around there for awhile and I got a few fun dollar items... as well as the 7th season of 24. I came home and cleaned up our messy apartment and made dinner, then when Bruce finally got home we watched like 4 episodes of 24 then gave Auggie a haircut. For some reason Bruce LOVES giving Auggie haircuts, and then half way through it he gets sick of it and asks me to finish... It's pretty funny! Now Auggie has way to short of hair {but Bruce says its okay because Auggie gets hot during the day} We have that conversation every time Auggie gets a haircut, haha, thankfully it grows out quickly!

Home at Last

I am finally with my husband! Even though I had a really fun 2 1/2 weeks with my family, it was the longest 2 weeks of my life! I felt bad because I went home so I could go to my family reunion, but I couldn't go that long without Bruce so I flew home early! It is so funny to me how I was in Arizona, the place I grew up in and love, with my family... and I just didn't feel at home. The 2nd I saw Bruce when he picked me up at the airport I was home. I love him so much!!! I have to admit it was weird at first coming home to Mcallen, Texas a place I have never been before. My apartment was already put together and I didn't know where anything was, but I'm getting the hang of this new place! What a fun adventure we have ahead of us...

Wicked!

Last night my mom took Katrina & I to the play Wicked!!! We had a ticket for Stacey, but she wasn't able to go at the last minute {we missed you Stacey, it would have been so fun with you there} so Katrina wanted to call and invite her mom to go.. It turned out to be a blast! All my cousins and my grandma came to, so it was one big girls night! All I have to say is it was amazing. It started out and I was kinda thinking maybe this won't be as good as everyone says, but it turned out being so much better than I expected! The characters were amazing, the singing dancing, and acting was incredible and it was so much fun to learn the story of the good witch and the bad witch! Now I need to go buy the cd. Thank you so much mom for saving up the money to take us, you are awesome!!! Now I can't wait to go again...

Another Change of Plans!

Well even though we LOVED Alabama, our office ran out of doors to knock so Bruce packed up {while I have been in AZ} and moved down to Mcallen, Texas! We are excited because its a new fun place, but we were sad to leave Alabama. I am the most excited about the amazing store they have in Texas called HEB Plus!!! It is like a cosco/sams club/walmart and grocery store all in one! It's amazing... We will keep up updated on our life in Texas, Wish us luck in our new adventure!

4th of July!

I love 4th of July! I love the fireworks, I love the BBQ's and I love quality time with the family. Since I flew home for my moms birthday I was in Arizona for the 4th and I went up to the cabin with Mom, Dad, Justin, Katrina Dakota, Gunnar & Kylie!!! It was amazing weather {like 65 degrees all weekend} and a lot of fun! We just relaxed, shopped and played cards all weekend! Even though it was a lot fun, I was sad to be away from Bruce!

Happy Birthday Chaddy & Mom!!!

On July 1st my Mom and Chad had a birthday! I wasn't able to be here for it last year, so Bruce {being the sweet husband that he is} flew me down for it. I surprised my parents and was sitting on the couch when they got home from dinner. They were extremely happy to say the least.

Everyone already knows how I feel about my Mom... To sum it up she is amazing and I am honored to be her daughter! I love you Mom...

My brother Chad is one of my very best friends. I love him to death. Even though he is 5 years older than me we always had the same friends. I was lucky and he always let me tag along with him and we had such a fun group of friends. Those are some of the best memories I have. Chad is one of the most amazing guys, he puts EVERYONE before himself. He could be miserable for the rest of his life and if he was making one person happy he would be okay with it. He has always been so good to me, and he loves to poke and pick on me! I am so grateful to have Chad in my life, it wouldn't be the same without him!
