The first weekend of June, I traveled to Dallas to attend my good friend Mallory’s Bachelorette party.  We started the night at dinner at Buca de Beppo and then continued the night at the Wine Loft in Southlake Town Center.  After the wine loft, we went back to Mallory’s Matron of Honor’s home in Keller for a lingerie shower.  I had a great time and can’t wait for her wedding in a couple of weeks.

Hanging out by the lake

May 24, 2010 marked our second year of marriage.  We decided to celebrate by getting a hotel in Galveston at the Moody Gardens Resort.  We spent the day laying out by the pool and hanging out at the pool’s swim up bar.  We enjoyed a relaxing weekend together and had a great time.  On our actual anniversary, which was a Monday, we went out to dinner at Buca de Beppo.  We had never been there before and loved our dinner!  

In the past two years we have had so many fun exciting times.  I am blessed with a husband who enjoys traveling and wants to explore life together.   I can’t wait to spend a hundred more years together!  Thank you Hollis for your love, support, and genorisity throughout the years.    I love you more and more each day!

The weekend of May 15th, Hollis and I made a trip down to Portland. The intial reason for the trip was for Hollis’ uncle’s funeral. The funeral was a beautiful occasion and a great way to remember someone so close to the family. Hollis had to travel back to work after a quick 24 hour trip.

I spent the rest of the weekend in Portland with my family. I was able to see my brother play in the Carroll Alumni Football game and I was able to hold my sweet nieces and nephews. It was great to see the family and be able to hang out with them for a little while!

Two weekends ago- April 24th, we joined our good friends Justin, Katie and Brent for our Friday night ritual of dinner, dancing and drinks at Whiskey River.  Whiskey River is a new country dance place that opened a few months ago.  They offer a free steak, potatoes and salad dinner until 8:00 and also have awesome drink specials.  We have been able to enjoy our Friday nights by dancing the nights away.

We spent Saturday night grilling out at the Abshires to celebrate Justin’s 25th Birthday.  When we woke up on Sunday we decided to try out the Crawfish Festival in Old Town Spring.  We enjoyed some good crawfish, ice cold beer, and BEAUTIFUL weather!

Last weekened we made our way to Denton, TX to visit Julie and Jeff and their new home.  We had a great time hanging out with them Friday night.  We woke up on Saturday and I made my way to a bridal shower for my dear friend Mallory Chain.  She is getting married on June 27th and I am honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding.  She had a “floppy hat” , kitchen shower.  We had so much fun dressing in our floppy hats and watching her open up gifts!

While I was at the bridal shower, Hollis and the boys made their way to Forney, TX to take part in the Warrior Dash.  Hollis was nervous about running the 5K and going through the obstacles since he has been so busy working, but he made it through the race in great time.

We have been very busy lately, our weekends for the summer are almost completely booked with fun events and Hollis is working enough hours for the both of us!  We are truly enjoying life right now and could not be happier with everything God has blessed us with.
