Dallas Weekend

Keith and I ventured to Dallas to visit some friends of ours and to do a Crawl for Cancer...what a concept...instead of running...you do a bar crawl and drink...A LOT!!! We drove in on Friday and went out to a swanky bar...I am a Houston girl...not a Dallas girl! But we had a great time...probably a little too much fun...you know it was a good night when you wake up in your dress and makeup from the night before on the couch with no blanket! :)

We woke up the next morning and got going...of course, plans changed because we were running behind, our map "got lost", etc...etc...we finally made it to the starting bar...it was a windy day in Dallas, but it was an AWESOME time. I think they told me there were 250 teams of 12 people each...there were people everywhere in matching (different colored) t-shirts.

Maybe flip cup at the 2nd bar wasn't such a great idea...but, it sure was fun! We were out of beer super fast and moved on to bar #3!

Fantastic weekend! Special thanks to Britney for letting us stay at your place (it is sooo cute) and for organizing us coming in! It was super fun and I can't wait to do it next year! Maybe Mars will be able to join us! :)

God's Children

"Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed them." Mark 10:16

Sunday, May 3rd, we celebrated Jaxon and Lauren's baptism! It was a great day spent with friends and family for a fantastic occassion! I was honored that Tammy & John asked me to be the twin's Godmother! Each time I have been asked, it means so much to me that the parents feel that they want ME to have this responsiblity - I hope to never let them down. Each of my Godchildren mean the absolute world to me!

We got a phone call every Sunday morning saying that the church's air conditioner went out overnight; therefore, it was a very hot service, but we all made it through...even the poor little babies! Surprisingly, Lauren did great through the whole service and Jaxon was the cranky one, but then Lauren got fussy at picture time. Considering the circumstances, they were both really good and the service was very nice.

My sister pulled out her creative side to ask me...too cute for words...

And....this picture cracks me up...here I am all smiley and happy and poor baby girl doesn't want anything to do with happiness...she did do better once we got to the church!

What a celebration! God is GOOD!

Almost Summertime

Wow - it has been a month AGAIN!!! Where has the time gone?!? I cannot believe it is almost summertime! Can't wait for the warm weather and some pool / beach time AND my BIRTHDAY! Yes, even though I am going to be 32...I still love my birthday!

Things have been pretty crazy lately. Unfortunately, AGCS had another round of layoffs in our sales force and our Dallas salesguy got let go. I am very sad to see him go, as I have worked with him in different capacities for 9 years! He is a great friend that has a beautiful wife and 3 little girls to take care of so I pray that God moves quickly and helps him to find work fast! This change brings mixed emotions for me...I have been given the opportunity to "spread my wings" a little and have become the Account Manager for several of his accounts. This is great for me professionally, but the drive to and from Dallas is really going to suck. So...please pray that this will be a great opportunity for me and that will outweigh the fact that I will possibly be driving to Dallas once a week!
