Weekend update with Elizabeth

This weekend was pretty low key but I did get to do these things:

• Went to the dentist - no cavities for me!!
• I got to eat at Raising Canes for lunch. Mmm-good! That place has the most amazing sauce! I crave it ALL THE TIME!!! In fact, I want it now...
• I went to Half Price books and bought a nerdy book
• I got to watch both Tech and the Cowboys lose this weekend! =) (Go and ahead and tell me what I just said is blasphemous but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!)
• Finally caught up watching episodes of The Vampire Diaries - my guilty pleasure

Hope your weekend was great!!

Rewind

So the last two weekends have been very busy..and because I am sure no one wants to read paragraphs of what we did I will tell you what we did in 50 words or less:

• We went to a birthday party for our little friend Zane:

• I had lunch with Dianna who moved back from OK!
• We played Top Golf with our home group
• I helped host a baby shower - I forgot to take pictures of it =)
• We bought an air purifier (lame I know)

So...

...I haven't blogged in awhile. I don't have an excuse except:

1. I'm a really bad procrastinator
2. I've been sucked in by SMUT tv (Bachelor Pad, Keeping Up with the Kardashians etc)
3. I like to cuddle with my dog Lucye when I get home
4. I've been tired

In other news, this is my 100th blogpost. GO ME! Who knew I would actually keep up with something that long? I can't wait til I get to my 200th, 300th etc. How many exciting things will happen to me by then?

I'll be back tomorrow to talk about my last two weekends. Whohoo!

Flashback Happy Birthday

Today our precious niece turned five. I feel like yesterday she was this tiny little baby:

She has transformed into such a beautiful little girl with a compassionate heart and is full of spirit and spunk. She is going to break boys hearts for sure.

Happy Birthday Kaydence! We love you!!

Three years

Three years ago from last Wednesday, I was doing this:

And this:

So I could marry this guy:

I married my best friend that day and I am so glad I did. It was the best decision I ever made. I can't imagine picking anyone else to walk through this adventure of life with me. And it keeps getting better....

Weekend update with Elizabeth

• My brother, sis in law, and niece and nephew came into town Friday night on their way back from Houston (Blake didn't have to have surgery - praise the Lord!!
• We went to the Allen Outlet Mall and almost died in the heat
• I went to a baby shower for my friend Jaime on Saturday - so fun!
• Jason and I met up with some of our good friends, Amy and Ryan, at Cheesecake Factory!
• I drank a mojito - this might be my new favorite drink.
• We celebrated Jason's accomplishment of getting CFMT with our home group on Sunday night- what a blessing it is to have a good friends!
• We ate out 4 times this weekend - I may need to eat celery and salad to rid my body of all the junk I ate.
• I forgot to bring my camera to all events this weekend so I have no pics to commemorate the occasions.

Steamboat

Last week, Jason and I spent an entire week in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was nice to enjoy the cooler weather and the backdrop of the gorgeous mountains. Jason had to go up to Steamboat for a review and certification test that he had been working for over three years all week long and I decided to go with him. Most of the week, Jason spent most of his time in a classroom (stinks for him) and I got to relax and enjoy a much needed restful vacation (yay for me).

We got there on Sunday afternoon and settled into the condo, and then Jason and I went to a cute little restaurant called the Boathouse. I unfortunately was starting to suffer from altitude sickness unbeknown to me by the time we got to dinner so we didn't stay out too long. However, we got to sit out on the porch area and enjoy the views while a little rain shower came to visit.

Most of the week, I spent my time relaxing in the condo, reading -lots and lots of reading, taking naps, and enjoying the sights and beauty that is Steamboat Springs. Almost every morning, I started my day off with a cup of coffee and a few chapters of the book that I was reading that day out on the balcony with this view:

Be envious =)

I took a walk by the river that runs through the town and has a nice path for people to ride on with their bikes, run, and walk.

I went on a guided hike up on the mountain and enjoyed a gourmet lunch on top of the mountain in one of the restaurants. The weather was perfect and the views were absolutely gorgeous. I am completely in awe of God and my affections are stirred for Him when I look upon his creation from a mountain top. It was breathtaking.

On Friday night, Jason and I went to Strawberry Springs Hot Springs outside of town with some of the other people studying for the CFMT certification. They all studied while they sat around in the hot springs and I got to relax and swim around. We all still had fun though and made sure to leave before dark because after dark is when clothes are optional (yikes!)

I also had a visitor that came every morning when I took Jason to his class. His name was Wilbur.

Isn't he just cute?

Jason and I had so much fun that week and I was sad that we had to come back to reality. As always, vacations have to end but we were very excited to see our Lucye when we got back. (Thanks Mom for watching her!)

**Also, we found out earlier this week that Jason passed his CFMT test with distinction and scored the second highest grade in a class of 14. I am so proud of him and the discipline that he had to do this. He has worked a long 3 1/2 years for this moment and I can not be more excited for him! **
