Life in May

Life has been so good since I last updated our blog. Busy, like everyone, but good.

To start things off, these pretty girls came to visit me while Matt was camping with the guys. Kailee, is such a sweet blessing from college and Alex is a friend from high school that I haven't spoke to in 5 or 6 years. So neat to catch up on life! We played disc golf, something we REALLY enjoying doing, and did other girl things like painted our toenails and cooked supper! 

At the beginning of May, our puppies celebrated another year of puppy life! Presley (black dog) is 4 and Lola is 1!

We celebrated Mother's day with my momma and brother, Logan (it was his birthday as well) in Lubbock. We played golf, a common thing with my family and being married to Matt. It was a good weekend! And I am so thankful for the support my mom has provided me over the years! 

May 18th-20th we went to Galveston with Matt's family for a weekend at the beach and for our niece, Reagan's dance recital. It was so relaxing to spend time on the beach! Last year, we went on the same trip and I got severely sunburned, but I learned my lesson and this time I put plenty of sunscreen on and re-applied. We played football, volleyball, and built sandcastles on the beach. Wish the beach was closer to us! The mosquitos were so bad, so I definitely don't miss that. Also, we played putt-putt one night and ate at Golden Corral (a family must do with these guys, love it!).

The girls: Dawn, Reagan, Landra, and Judy

The guys: Tibby, Matt, and Toby

As most of you know we have been with 1 car for a year, so we have been searching for another vehicle for the last month. Before going to Houston, we looked at a bunch of cars online and said "We are coming home with a car." So Monday, after our weekend at the beach, we went car shopping. And we made another BIG purchase for the year! Its a 2010 metallic blue Ford escape. We have really enjoyed having 2 vehicles again! Its my "mom" car, so all I need now is some kids to fill up! :) 

I just completed my first year at Joy school! The end of anything is bittersweet. I have enjoyed my kids so much and I am so sad to see them grow up. Next year I will continue teaching at Joy school, but I will teach 5 day 4 year olds (instead of 3 days). These kids will always have a special place in my heart.

On May 29th, Matt and I will celebrate our 2 year anniversary! I can not believe it has already been 2 years! Fall more in love with that man every day! The grass in the backyard, patio furniture, and the escape are our gifts to each other! Here's a pic of our wedding night 2 years ago! 

And that was just the month of May! I post lots of pictures, because I feel like the pictures tell "our story" better than my words ever could.
