Moving On...

Good bye, adios, see you latter... but not forever!

Two of my dear friends are moving away from San Antonio to begin a new adventure in their lives. Ana is moving to Houston to start her job and will now finally be able to be in the same city as Adam! Meredith and Jared are packing up and headed to South Carolina to help a church grow and become stronger in the faith. To say goodbye, send best wishs, and have one last getting together, a group of us had a farewell dinner at Stone Werks.

All the girls ...... thank you boys for taking the pictures.



I will miss my Latin Lover Ana and my dear sweet friend Mere!

Have fun in your new cities, can't wait to come visit, and get ready for lots of phone dates!

Happy Birthday Sister!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear JENNIFER... Happy Birthday to you!

Love you sister and Happy Happy Birthday!

Kristin's Bachelorette Party

As we all know, Kristin is very close to becoming Mrs. Johnson. But before it's time to walk down the aisle it's time for a girls weekend!



All of Kristin's bridesmaids and friends made a trip to Austin, TX so we could embrace her last few days being a single lady! The afternoon began by the pool and then to 6th Street that evening.




The pretty bride to be...



Heart Sun Glass: the hit of the night (these might have just been my favorite thing ever).











I had so much fun and we danced the whole night! It was a blast and now Kristin and Cody are just one day closer to getting married.

Boys Will Be Boys...

Kevin definitely had a boy adventure for the last two days. So what does my boy like to do besides reading.... yep, that would be hunting and fishing.

On Thursday, Kevin was able to participate in a skeet shooting tournament. My dad's law firm had a team put together and since my dad is not much of a gun guy, he had his wonderful son in-law fill in his spot. Kevin was on a team with two other members of the TRPSA law firm. Six rounds of skeet, a bruised shoulder, and a new shell bag would make for a fun boy day #1.

Boy day #2 would consist of fishing at the Krenz's lake house on lake LBJ by Kingsland. Since Kevin's last fishing experience was spent assisting my fishing needs, this fishing trip would be all about the pro. Kevin spent a quiet day catching some good sized fish. Yet again, a very successful boy day and I am sure Kevin will have fun boy day #3 full of reading, amongst other things, when I am away for Kristin's bachelorette party.

Blanco State Park

While Kevin and I were in Missouri we purchased my very own hot pink fishing pole. That's right, I got a hot pink fishing pole! I'm not into pink guns, but when it comes to fishing poles I can't think of a better color. We got the fishing pole in Missouri just in case we decided to fish while we were at Table Rock Lake, but that really didn't happen, so today we put it into use.

Kevin and I took an adventure to Blanco State Park this morning to go fishing. As most of you know, I am not too much of an outdoors person, and in my 25 years I have caught only one fish (and that was three years ago). Well that record is now officially broken. Today I caught a total of 8 Perch. You heard it right, I caught 8 tiny fish!

Check out the fish and the hot pink pole...


Tiny baby fish...


Best fishing teacher ever...


Kevin was a very good teacher and was very patient considering I don't bait my own hook, can't take my fish off of my hook, lost several worms to hungry fish, and got my line tangled up just a few times.... but, I caught 8 fish! Kevin has now decided that if he can teach me to fish that when we have kids he will have no problem teaching them, but in order to have a good relaxing fishing trip sometimes it's best to leave amateurs behind!

Something Blue Wedding Shower

In just about two months, Kristin and Cody will be getting married! With the wedding date quickly approaching, a few of the bridesmaids and I threw Kristin a something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue wedding shower! It was perfect! Blue decorations, great food, delicious dessert, and lots of presents for the bride to be.



I even made my first bow bouquet, and if I do say so myself, it turned out very cute!


I think Kristin was most surprised when she opened her last gift from the hostesses and discovered that the heavy box was her mixer!






Now Kristin is almost ready to get married... next up bachelorette party!

Springfield, MO

SISTER TIME!!!!!

So if you haven't figured it out yet, I am pretty obsessed with my sister. I just love her so much and Curtis is pretty entertaining himself. I was so excited to go visit them that I even packed early. To recap our road trip we went from San Antonio to Arlington, up to Eureka Springs, which leads us to Springfield.

We had a blast in Springfield and here are just a few pictures that highlighted our trip...

Curtis and Kevin...


Jennifer and Me...


I can't keep my eyes open! Thanks for the help Curtis...




Clank, Clank Kevin...


So one of the best decisions that we made while we were in Springfield was to rent a pontoon boat at Table Rock Lake. It was so much fun and now we all want to buy a boat!

Ready to go...






Sister...


Lake time...




After being gone for almost a week we finally made the twelve and a half long drive back to Texas! Kevin and I enjoyed our sister/brother in-law time, but we were excited to go back home and see our puppy dog.

LOVE YOU SISTER!
