About Me

My photo
I am a student just trying to graduate and living life. I have a wonderful family, great friends, and an awesome boyfriend. Oh and I have a precious pup that I love so much. I love reading a good book, playing board games/cards, and decorating for anything. Working out makes me feel so much better, but it's a battle everyday. I've been in school for what seems like forever and will finally graduate in May. I am also a firm believer in "Everything Happens for a Reason". All in all as its beens said plenty of times before- I'm not perfect BUT I'm me! :)

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

Or atleast that's what my grandma said every time we pulled into the garage!
It has seriously been nonstop since Thursday, April, 5th.  Not that I'm complaining!  Thursday I had class all day, and then hit the road to Dallas to fly to Amarillo for the weekend!  I had much needed quality time with my mom and had a great time back home!  We even all had a Girls Day Out the Saturday I was home with my mom and all my sisters!  It was time well needed for all of us. 
Sunday was of course Easter! We all got in our Easter dresses and headed to church!  The children hunted eggs, and we headed over to my grandmas for a delicious lunch!  Mmmm, I've already missed everyone's cooking.  My grandpas turkey, my grandmas potatoes and gravy and stuffing, my moms rolls, my aunts broccoli rice casserole, my other aunts desserts....the list goes on and on.  Of course I ate waay tooo much! But I had to keep in mind that I was heading to the beach in a few days, so I had to work out after all that food!  The day ended with games with the fam!  Of course Michael cheated his way to the top.  
Monday I headed back to Shreveport.  I got back about 8 and started doing laundry.  I only had a day to get ready to head to Galveston!  Tuesday was pretty much my only lazy day of my Spring Break!
After unpacking and repacking it was time to head to Galveston! 


We made it there in time to go check out the beach and have some supper!  
Thursday morning the men and Melissa went fishing! They had to go out and catch our supper!


Don't worry, we didn't eat shark even though Trevor caught one ^^. 
While the men and Melissa were out catching our dinner, Pam, Babe, and I took the girls for a walk!

They are getting so big!

On Saturday we went to the Strand where there are shops everywhere and you can drink walking around! It's almost like going to the mall and walking into the Buckle getting a drink, walking out and going to Victoria Secret to get another drink! But outside.  You can shop and drink at the same time! Pure craziness! We also ate at a pretty fabulous Mexican restaurant called the Original Mexican Cafe, got icecream at La Kings, and walked around. 


The whole week we tended to play this game a lot.  I wasn't very good at it, but it was definitely fun!  I never could throw a frisbee very well. :(


While we were at the Strand, we saw a Pirate ship! Trevor got excited cause he thought you could ride it...little did he know.


Next to the Pirate ship, was a cruise ship!  It was ginormous!! HUGE! If I would've tried to get a picture from the side, I swear that I wouldn't have gotten the whole thing in the picture!

We relaxed, we went to the beach, we went shopping, we ate, we played games, we laughed, we drank, we did all of the above and it was a great time and a great break! 
Needless to say I was not excited to start this week back to reality! 

Now off subject...
This would be my wreath.  My pretty beautiful Spring/Summer wreath!

If you look very closely right above the middle flower, there are an arrangement of sticks.  Sticks that aren't supposed to be apart of my wreath! 
Obviously a bird thinks my wreath is so pretty that she's going to make it her nesting area!  Uh, I have news for her!  No baby birds will be born in my wreath! Ugh...

& this is life as I know it...
