Bluebonnet season

Me and Justin have been busy busy lately it seems. Justin was blessed to be a part of a friends wedding in Corpus Cristi in March which, I wont deny, we sort of counted as a mini vacation. While I was the only girl in a carpool of 3 boys, I gotta say it was a beautiful scenic drive from Dallas to Corpus and I thoroughly enjoyed the goofy company of Justin and his buds, (one who was visiting from Indonesia). The wildflowers were out in full bloom and the hotel we stayed at had an ocean view...it was sweet! That weekend however my Dad had some more heart issues and it got scary for awhile. But his heart doctor did some minor surgery and fixed everything and he is doing great now, what a blessing!

A few weeks later we got to go to the country with my parents and enjoy the bluebonnets of the hill country in Spicewood. The boys processed some deer sausage while my mom and I visited with my cousin at her wedding shower in Marble Falls. Later that day we had dinner with the McCoy side and met the new cousin, sweet little Abigail, Carrah's new baby! I am so lucky to have such great family.
More recently I got to visit with my friend from Abilene who was in town visiting some family. We were able to sneak away and have a relaxing lunch. What a fun surprise! And we are planning on running a 5k this summer, so yay for some more friend time! My other sweet friend visited a week or so ago from Austin and we had a good visit too. Shes getting marriedin June and I'm so happy she found the love of her life!

My mom was able to come stay with us on my days off last week and it was great to just visit, relax, and get a few things done. My brother is in town for work and we all went out for BBQ one night and then were treated to Red Lobster another night! Me and mom potted one of my plants, ran errands, did some speed racer shopping, and then did a lot of nothing...it was great! Currently Justin is at the Fry men's annual fishing trip and Im cleaning house, what a joy! Ive got a brunch with my BSF group tomorrow and have a list of "to do's" so I better get  back to work!
