Rainy Friday

Today is a rainy Friday, and I'm enjoying some relaxation time. The best part about not going into work until 1800 is having an excuse to have a lazy morning. And I'm taking full advantage of that! *see picture below :)

This week was a little different. I had to get used to my husband actually being busy and spending much more time at work. It felt like T-6land again. We ate all our meals at separate times and just briefly saw each other-usually because one of our eyes were still sleepily shut.

But Friday means the weekend is here and quality time is on its way.

Some random thoughts I had this week that I thought I would share:

-Hazel currently holds the title for the best Colonel Sanders impersonator. Someone needs a haircut. Don't worry I'll get a picture before it gets chopped.

-I finally put out all my summer clothes-I don't think there is any chance of it getting cooler from here on out. I'm still not sure I'm ready for summer.

-I'm really thankful this week for everything Zack and I have been through together to get to where we are today. It's pretty incredible to look back and think, "yes, God truly has a plan."

Beach Bums

It's springtime and the perfect beach weather. The last few weekends we have had nice lazy Saturday mornings, headed down to the beach, got some sun for several hours, gone out to eat a delicious meal, and headed home. We live a hard life.

 

This weekend we took the pups for their very first time to the beach! Their friend Macy came down, too! The girls actually swam. Although 90% of the waves scared Hadley, she actually voluntarily went into the waves and swam around. Who would have thought?

 

 

 

We had a great day with great friends! Looking forward to taking advantage of our proximity to the gulf every weekend we can!

 

UPTdate: Zack has completed Instruments. Yay. He is halfway done here...crazy, right?

Easter Sunday

After a long drive from Houston to Ft. Benning, I got to celebrate Easter with Jer and Abby's family.

 

I guess I should back up a bit to fill in some gaps. I left last weekend to drive with the pups to Houston. I stayed to watch our niece Zoey for a week while her parents went on a motorcycle trip through Big Bend National Park. We did...Kindergarten, daycare, swim lessons, Easter crafts, practicing letters, walking the dogs, watching movies, and eating yummy food! During the days I spent time reading at Barnes and Noble, doing some light shopping, and basically just relaxing. It was like a mini vacation for me, too!

 

I'm lucky to have such travelling pups. They were awesome on my 12 hour trip from Jed to Jer's, and we only stopped 2 times! I'm also blessed to have such a great new car for all these miles.

 

I briefly got to visit with Ob who was visiting Jer's family for his spring break. And we got a great visit in with Jer and Abby and the kids. Church was outside downtown on the river. It was beautiful. The kids were very excited over their Easter basket goodies. We ate a delicious smoked brisket meal! Then, the best part was watching the kids on their egg hunt.

 

 

 

We love living close enough to family for the holidays. Such special times.

 

Today, Zack had the day off from flying and I just had to work lunch for a couple hours so we had the day to sleep in, eat cinnamon rolls, get yard stuff, and order a new dining room table! We had time to get some things done around the house and yard, too. Good way to start the week!
