spring break!

Sorry it's been forever since I've posted! Currently, I am enjoying a wonderful evening at home with my family in Houston. It is so fun to be with Brett, my parents, my sister and brother-in-law, and my sweet niece Braelyn. Braelyn is 13 months old and I haven't seen her since Christmas. She has changed A TON since then. She no longer looks like a baby, but a full out toddler! She is walking and talking and has more energy than ever. I love it :)

The beauty of working with college students is that we often get to enjoy many of the same holidays/time off that they get. Our spring break started on Friday afternoon with a short (compared to driving to Houston) drive to Fort Worth for our good friend Josh's wedding. We enjoyed the rehearsal dinner on Friday evening and then the wedding last night. It was one of the most enjoyable weddings I've ever been to...and there wasn't even dancing! That should tell you how great it was :). Josh and Katie are so obviously loved by so many and have such a strong love for the Lord which I know will sustain their marriage. It is always fun going to weddings since I've been married, but I definitely teared up at this wedding WAY more times than my own! I've known Josh since my freshman year of college...we were in the same bible study. We remained friends throughout college, but it is Brett who is actually closer to Josh. They became great friends toward the end of college and it's so fun to see boys grow into men and get married :)

From Fort Worth, we drove to Houston this morning and have enjoyed a really nice day here at my parents house. While we are here visiting we plan to see Brett's sisters, go shopping for birthdays (hint hint...Brett's is March 23 and mine is April 1), spend lots of time with our niece, read a lot, relax a lot, work some, and be thankful we don't live in humidity at all times during the year. We plan to head back to Lubbock on Thursday to enjoy a few days to ourselves, recover from the traveling, and work at a slower pace until everything picks pack up again next Monday!

Hopefully I'll remember to update more often...but until then...I'll leave you with two things. 1. I've realized my token phrase is "so fun". I say it often and apparently after re-reading this blog, I write it often too. At this point in life, I'm not annoyed by it...but I can see that changing soon. 2. The N'Sync Pandora station is incredible. Brett and I spent good quality time jamming to that in the car today. I suggest you put it on, and let your memory take you back to whatever age you were at when N'Sync was popular.
