Oklahoma!

I forgot about the biggest event in June, We went to Oklahoma for Ryan's wrestling camp.  I will post more about the trip and pictures too.  Just not right now. I know you are dying to hear about it!

Downtown Bryan-First Friday

Last Friday evening, Luther, Ryan and I went to our First Friday ever.  In Bryan, they have these celebrations downtown the first Friday evening of each month.  It has been going on sometime now, but we just have not made it there yet.  Other than being blazing hot outside, we had a nice time.  We walked up and down the streets and stopped at a few shops, we ran into friends who were also out and we ate dinner at Must Be Heaven.  I tried a French Dip sandwich for the first time and it was Heaven! 

I am sure we will go to other First Fridays, but hopefully when it is a bit cooler.  I really want to go in December when they are celebrating the holiday season.  I hear they have horse buggy rides. I'm up for that! I will also love to see the Christmas lights and decorations.

Oops! Skipped a month!

So, I completely missed the month of July.  Let's see if I can remember the highlights...

The 4th of July we spent at Luther's parents' house. We went home, but Ryan went with Lindsay and Brandon to watch fireworks in Kurten.

The next weekend, we went to Dallas to visit my parents, but had a mishap with my Dad having to spend most of the weekend in the hospital.  He is fine and we are going for another visit in August.  In fact, Ryan will be spending some time up in Dallas with my parents and then Luther and I have a long weekend planned to go visit my parents again when we pick him up.  I know my brother is planning on taking Ryan and his cousins to Six Flags, so that will be fun.  I love Six Flags, so kind of sad I will miss it this time.

Ryan finished his summer camp and open mat in the middle of July and has been hanging out at the house.  He is a good kid and stays out of trouble. 

Our pool got a hole in the liner, so we have drained it and bought a repair kit, but we made the decision to wait until it is cooler to repair it because we also want to level the ground.  I'm really bummed it broke because I was having a wonderful time working out in the pool and one of my favorite things to do is relax in the pool.  Oh well, we will take care of it and I will have it next summer!  

We went out to dinner and Northgate to celebrate Lindsay and Brandon's engagement.  That was a fun night! Ryan went to dinner with us and then we dropped him off at the house before returning to Northgate.

I finished reading The Hunger Games and Catching Fire.  I am now working on Mockingjay.  They are excellent reads!

I think those are the major highlights of July. I really need to do a better job on my blog! Oh well, I guess you could say, sometimes life gets in the way and I am living life.

Wedding Bells!

This past weekend, Luther and I decided it was time to get serious about working out and eating right, so we are beginning our, as he calls it, 100 pound quest to May.  He might loose 100 pounds, but realistically, I think I will only be able to loose 50 in that time frame. Why the May time frame? Well...

Yes, I will be a bridesmaid and Luther a groomsman!

June is here!

Friday night, Ryan, Luther and I went to celebrate our friend's graduation from Rudder High.  Congratulations Kallie!  It was at the La Salle Hotel in Bryan.  The party was so cute, it was all deserts and there was a smores bar. Very very cute and we had a fun time.

The cookie Table!

Saturday night, Luther and I had our first swim in the pool.  It was perfect!  The water felt great and it was 93 degrees outside.  I will be spending quite a bit of time in there this summer.  I have even been looking for some things to do to workout while in the pool.  I love summertime!

I had one of these before I got in the pool!

Car Wash!

This past Saturday, we had the first of two car wash fundraisers for the CSHS Wrestling Team at Pilger's Tire/Carquest Auto Parts on University Drive in College Station.  They are raising funds to go to the OSU wrestling camp this June.  It was a perfect day for a car wash and I was pleased with the turnout especially since this is the first time I have ever headed up something like this.  We are doing another one next Saturday, so wish us luck!

Mother's Day 2013

This past Sunday was Mother's day.  I unfortunately was sick with a stomach virus all weekend long.  I spent almost the entire weekend in bed.  Sunday afternoon I got out of bed around 2:00 in the afternoon and watched a little TV with Luther. Ryan and Luther gave me a card and a gift certificate to Starbucks.  That's awesome!  I took a shower because we were invited to go to Clay and Colleen's for dinner with the family.  I really didn't want to go because I was just starting to feel better, but I didn't want to disappoint the rest of the family. Basically, I sucked it up! I did get to see Lindsay's engagement ring for the first time and had girl wedding talk, lol.  Also, Mary Anne gave me some beautiful yellow roses. That was awesome too!

Later that evening, I called my Mom to wish her a happy Mother's Day and she was taking my Dad to the hospital.  It turned out he had a bad stomach virus and they kept him in the hospital for 2 nights.  Weird we both had one on the same weekend, I'm glad I didn't end up in the hospital.  I got to talk to him the next day and he was feeling much better!
