Up & Away

My man left this morning on a jet plane. He'll be back friday. My mummy is coming to keep me company. I'm looking forward to a fast week of girl time. 

Four Weekend Round-Up

My blogging in June has been much to sparse. June has held some huge highs and some equally huge lows. Adjusting to my new work schedule with Joe's work schedule had definitely been rough at times. Don't get me wrong I love my job and couldn't be more grateful for the work, but God's provisions are not always comfortable. This weekend is the first since memorial day weekend that Joe and I have had nothing to do/attend. The past four weekends have been wonderful and yet I haven't blogged a single one of them. So here is a quick wrap-up:

Memorial Day weekend we went to Joe's Aunt Mary and Uncle Jeff's lake house in Gainesville. We went on the boat, swam, and everyone loved on Rémy. We had a ball! 

The weekend of June 3rd my Aunt's family all made the trek to San Antonio. It was great to have them in our new home. We also celebrated me and Phil's (my cousin) birthday. I really appreciate them making the long drive. I know it is not easy. 

Okay next. The weekend of June 10th we headed to the Hill Country to celebrate Joe's Aunt Karen and Uncle John's 60th birthdays. We had a blast floating in the river, going to wineries, and star gazing. 

Finally last weekend I was in Grand Rapids with my 'sister'/best friend Sandra. I was actually there for a week visiting. I was able to give her a baby shower, and we drove over to chicago for two days to shop and sight see. It was such a refreshing time of fellowship.

Tomorrow Joe leaves for D.C. and in exactly two weeks I will be on a plane to Latvia. The summer is flying by. Before we know we'll be seeing back to school commercials.

Belated Father's Day

As of course you know Sunday was Father's Day. Joe and I have both been blessed with wonderful fathers. Both have challenged, encouraged, and loved us unconditionally. They are both men who love the Lord and I'm so grateful.

Pre-Curser

I have so much catching up to do it isn't even funny. I just got back from a six day trip to visit my 'sister' Sandra in Grand Rapids. We had such a great time just being together. We even drove over to Chicago for two days to sight see and shop. For my birthday she gave me the most wonderful book of pictures beginning when we met all the way through our marriages. She is six months pregnant and I can't believe how fast time has gone by. We got to relive a bit of our youth by going to see three movies and getting popcorn every time. It was awesome. I love that girl and I'm already really missing her.

Joe and I have had some fabulous weekends and I haven't blogged about a single one of them. I promise I will. Joe is going to D.C. again next week, so I'm sure I will have some extra time on my hands.

In other news Rémy is getting quite big. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

TTI Training Area

Hello? Are you there? Do I have any readers left? Well, I guess I didn't have many in the first place, but I'm sorry for the hiatus. It wasn't on purpose, but we are just so busy. I have one week under my belt of 'nannying', and I'm really enjoying it. I feel like I'm getting to relive a bit of my own childhood summers. The past two weekends have been filled with family, and I hope to post about them soon. The other day when I was on my new commute home from 1604 I saw a sign reading: "TTI Training Area". If you don't know Joe worked for TTI the first year of our marriage. I couldn't help but smile. It is amazing how quickly things change. Not too long ago a large part of our conversation was filled with terms like: TTI, different types of eighteen wheelers, rental cars, and various Texas counties. In a way it made me appreciate the new stability we have in San Antonio, and in another it made me miss College Station more than I can say. Isn't life funny like that? We hope and hope for change, and then miss the old days. Oh well, C'est la vie. Tomorrow is my birthday. I can tell I'm getting older because I just am not all that, well, excited. Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives. I hope to enjoy a good dinner at Luke, kiss my husband, and laugh with my mom. I'm positive all will occur.

Our first picture in front of the Alamo since moving here.

Happy Summer!
