Wow! 6 months into the year and only 6 more to go! Can you
believe it? I know I can’t!!!
So this weekend was fun and full. Friday I had to work late
or “normal hours.” Usually we have the option of getting off early at 3 p.m.
but we have a running schedule for certain people to stay late on Fridays and
this was my Friday. After work I went home and relaxed. It was so nice to get
to just be. Saturday we woke up and ran some errands, Taco Cabana to eat, Bank
of America, and Shopping. When we got home, we unloaded groceries and started
laundry. Our best friends called us at about 4 p.m. to go over and swim and we
did!! Not for long though, some of their family showed up with little kids and
we got dressed and left. We then went to grab a bite at Clay’s and came up with
this idea to go on a road trip before summers end. So we started brainstorming
some places and decided that on June 22 we are taking a trip up to the Frio
River. Not sure if we are staying the night or just going for the day, but
either way it’s going to be so fun! We left Clay’s and headed to our Amanda and
Will’s house with them so Amanda and I could finish our “road trip” plans while
the boys bought a game for us to play. The game they choose was Battle of the
Sexes and we won – just kidding the boys won {unfair!!} We then decided to use
the game in our own way and make a charades type game. It was fun! After all
the fun ended, we headed home at about midnight and called it a night at 4 a.m.
The next day (Sunday) we spent at home, cleaning and doing laundry. While
sitting around over the weekend, I decided I wanted to go back to college to
get my AAS in Graphic Design Specialization. I have to take four semesters of
classwork and then I will be a graduate in May 2015! And just as an added goal
{as if getting a degree to get more money it’s a “push” enough…) Erik and I
have plans to save our money and take nice “graduation vacation” in June 2015!
Want to know where we are going…..MAUI HAWAII!!!! I am beyond excited but the
only way we are going is if I get my degree! So happy learning! We even decided
that {since we are waiting to have a baby} we are turning our second bedroom at
the new place into an office/study area with a “his and hers” side so that he
can have his own personal desk area and I can have mine. In the center of the
room, we are going to put a table with two chairs so that we can hook up the
computer to the TV mounted on the wall. It’s going to be amazing! And I think
that will really help motivate us. Oh, I can’t wait. Also, I snapped some pictures
of the fur-babies for you to enjoy!
Here are the three desk styles we have to choose from...
Desk style 1
Desk style 2
Desk style 3

Delicious foods from Sunday...
Delicious fruit salad I made includes: strawberries, cantaloupe, melon (can't remember the name), and whip cream mixed in
Delicious baked chicken and rice dinner. Takes 10 minutes to make and is the best thing I've ever tasted!
