Weekend fun!

Friday I called into work. I went to the doctor, and then Trent and I ran errands to get ready for Saturday. One of my best friends got married on Saturday. It was a pretty formal wedding, and it was A LOT of fun. It was one of the funnest weddings ever. It was straight out of the movie. Everyone was on the dance floor, the band was great, the couple looked amazing, etc. I have been to A LOT of weddings, and they are all different, but this one was like a reception you would see on tv. We had a blast. Trent looked so handsome, and I must say I looked pretty good myself. I thought I would post a few pictures, and I will have to get the others from my sister when she isn't as busy.


Here is a picture of Trent and I at the wedding...we are such a cute couple!


Cortney, Audra and myself...the three amiga's.


The Bride (Mrs. Stacey Vick Thomas) and myself...she looked great!


Another picture of Trent and myself! I just love him!

My Birthday Party

So, Friday night my sister threw me a surprise birthday party! It was SO much fun! We started our night at dinner at Gloria's in Frisco. One of my favorite Mexican food places. My co-workers and friends joined in for some fun. It was hard because most of my friends were busy with Spring Break plans, but I am so happy that anyone showed up!

After dinner some of us went to Cowboys Red River to country dance. It was SO much fun. I hadn't been out dancing in forever! Here are some pictures of us!

Audra and I--My former co-worker and one of my best friends!




All the girls!


Me and the Boys--Darren, Me, Patrick


SISTERS!



Then on Saturday Trent and I celebrated! We went out to eat, shopping and played putt putt! We had so much fun. Sunday he baked me a cake and cooked dinner! It was such a great birthday weekend! Here are a few pictures of the cake Trent baked...so yummy!

Another year older

So, yesterday was my birthday. It was a good day, but I do NOT like getting older. It makes me look back at my 2_ years, and examin my life. I am a lot further in my career then I would have ever told you I would be at this age. My personal life isn't quite where I thought I would be. I would have told you when I was 18 that I would be married with at least two kids by now. I feel bad, but I know I am not ready for a baby yet. I have been saying since I was 21 that I wanted a baby at 28, and now that is just a year away. I am not so sure that I will be ready by then.

I know I need to work on the first step...which would be marriage, and we are working on that, but I dont know that we would start for a baby at my pre-determined time.

Birthday's just really make me think about life, and also try to determine if I am better off with my life the way it is, or if I would be better off with my life plan at 18.

On another note...I did have a good birthday. I shopped for a new laptop all day, and had no luck. I just need to pick one. Then my family went to eat at one of my favorite Mexican places....Blue Goose. It was so yummy!

My parents replaced my stolen mother-daughter ring. My mother bought it for me for my birthday back in 2005, and it was stolen by a "friend" in 2007. I was heart broken, and my mother knew this. So, my mom and dad replaced it for me yesterday. I just love my ring!

Cortney is so busy with work she got me a gift card to help toward the purchase of my new laptop.

I didn't get to see Trent on my birthday, but we are spending the weekend celebrating. It will be his first weekend off since CHRISTMAS! I am SO excited.

I am attaching PHOTOS of my new mother-daughter James Avery ring. I will make sure I keep it from a certian C.C. so that she can't steal it again!





Overall, I had a good birthday! Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

A hunting I will go....

So, it is MY hunting season right now. Hunting you ask...JOB HUNTING! I am really hoping for a positive result this year. I worked very hard for my masters degree in school counseling, and I really want to use my talents.

Don't get me wrong...I love teaching, and I cant imagine myself ever enjoying a career where I am not helping children.

As a school counselor, I will get to help ALL of the kids in a school. Right now I am getting to work with only the students in my classroom or in my grade level. I want to help as many children as I possibly can.

Well, I have applied for EVERY opening that has come open to this date. We will see what happens. I have a couple of interviews lining up, and if they work out then I will have to make big decisions because I have a complex about change.

As one of my co-workers told me tonight she is going to pray for me to get what my heart desires...no matter where that might be.

IF I get a job this year it will be a SUPER hard leave. I am working on the BEST TEAM EVER! I have NEVER enjoyed a team this much. Don't get me wrong I have loved every team I have worked on, but this year is just different. There hasn't been any of the drama. I know I am SHOCKED!

Well, I guess I said all of this hoping someone will read it, and think of me this hunting season!

Tomorrow is TAKS day!

So, tomorrow is the reading TAKS for my students. So, keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers!

On another note, my blog posts are boring which is a sign that I need to get the camera out and start taking more pictures! I have a really busy weekend this weekend, and hope to take a lot of pictures!
