3 years

Today James and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary. Last weekend I was scrapbooking and going through pictures from the wedding and reception that didn't make the scrapbook. That was such an incredible day! We had cameras on everyone's reception table and it was so funny looking through those pictures!

A couple weekends ago James and I went to Lake D'Arbonne State Park and had an early Anniversary celebration. We did a lot of trail walking on Saturday. It was nice to get away for a couple of days! (I'm not good at blogging still so see picture above)

Best Friend's Birthday!

I should have posted this yesterday but it was a crazy day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRI!!!

Terri and I have been friends since 4th grade with Mrs. Lee (I think that is who it was, wasn't it Terri?). Through multiple moves she and I remained good friends and I've experienced a lot with her..ahh the good ole Wells Branch days! When I get to go home I walk the trail behind my house and just think about all the crazy summers we had! All the dumb boys (Jeremy) that we hoped to get attention from. Terri has always been there for me and I know she will continue to be there for me (I hope!). It's hard being in a different place away from good friends and family. I have met some great people here in Louisiana but when you've known someone for 20 years that is a hard friendship to be away from!

James' birthday was March 31 and I picked him up from the airport with Happy Birthday Balloons (which I don't think he was excited about) and then we went to eat at The Warehouse and a few of his cycling buddies met us there. You can kind of see the balloons!

Then that Sunday MercyMe (my favorite Christian group) was holding a concert in Bossier and Jeremy Camp, 10th Avenue North, and Hawk Nelson were all playing. It was such an amazing concert and I was totally uplifted! It was so awesome to see so many kids there jumping up and down and praising God!

I passed!

I got my results yesterday in the mail that I passed the LMFT exam!! I am so happy and proud of myself because this test has been a huge struggle for me! Now comes the application process so I can officially be a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist!

1:46 a.m

So it is 1:46 a.m. and I got home from working my part time job a little after 10:00 p.m. I changed into my pj's and started up my computer. I checked my email and facebook and then started writing my reports (you know the ones I was supposed to do Friday). I'm too tired tonight to finish all my reports but I did a majority and have maybe 5 left which shouldn't take me that long to do tomorrow!

I also need to say HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY MADALYN!!!!! I know it is now the day after your birthday but I thought about you today and I hope (actually I know) you had TONS of fun!!

This was taken at our Abilene reunion. Someone else has a picture of me and Madalyn together but they have yet to send those pictures to me :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL!

Busy

With 19 kids now in the program it is hard to find time to do anything. I've come up to work the last 2 Sundays to write reports but I have every intention of getting that done today so I can enjoy my Sunday! The weather has been really nasty here (cold and rainy) and I'm ready for the sun to come out with warm temperatures! James had a race last weekend and did really well! He turns 30 March 31!!! Oh my gosh where has the time gone! In May we will have been married 3 years. I will have been in Louisiana for 5 years in August (longer than I wanted-believe me).

Have a great weekend everyone!

Congratulations!

My best friend from high school (pictured to the left of me) delieverd baby #4 yesterday! A baby girl named Avery! As I promised in an earlier post I will be making a trip to Austin to see her precious daughter! I can't wait to meet you Avery!!

Congratulations Terri!
