We're Back!!!!!

Hey Y'all!  We are back from our cross country road trip. Well, almost cross country. More like 1/2 country.  We had a great trip visiting friends and family and attending weddings. Now I can say I have been to Oklahoma.  Both weddings we attended were absolutely beautiful! While in Kansas the weather was great. As soon as we left Kansas I think the rain followed us the rest of the trip. It rained a good bit in Oklahoma and FLOODED at the beach so we didn't see too much of the sun or the beach, except from our balcony. NO FUN! But it was a great time with family! And guess what??? While driving through Texas, Kevin decided to buy some $1 scratch offs and we won $500!!! Oh yea, just paid for our trip. Thanks Texas!

I took some little snap shots with my phone along the way. One of these days I am going to get a nice fancy smanchy camera! :) I have a digital, but I think my phone can sometimes take better pictures. It's amazing how far the cell phone has come, isn't it?

More Cows and Pastures for miles!

We went to see the KC Royals play the Twins in KC. Very fun!!

In Gulf Shore we got to play with this adorable little thing, my niece! Isn't she cute!!!

And this one, too. My nephew Lucas!

All in all the vacation was much needed and wonderful, but it is good to be back to a regular routine.  

Coming back to work was hard after being out of our routine for 10 days, but somebody has to pay the bills, right?  Although, I do miss playing with the two little bundles of love above. I could kiss and love on them all day long!

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

Busy Bees

This week has been very busy for Kevin and I with work and things to do in the evenings. So I am deeply sorry I haven't posted until now. Now that the days are longer Kevin doesn't get home until later.  I have been going home and either going to the gym or working in the yard and garden. Our garden is doing fantastic! I'm so proud!

I am on a mission to lose some pounds and have had great motivation this week to do it.  I am very unhappy with my body at this moment in my and want to change it! I have been eating less and healthier and I managed to fit in some type of physical exercise every night this week, except last night. I was exhausted and decided just to go to dinner with some girl friends instead of going home.  I knew Kevin wasn't going to be home until after 7 so I treated myself! We all need treats every now and again, right??!?!

We leave next Thursday to go on vacation for 10 days! I'm so pumped. We are going to the wedding of a long time friend of mine next Saturday in Kansas City. While we are out that way we decided we would go visit some of Kev's family in Oklahoma City. Then the next Saturday my cousin is getting married down at the beach. We are driving the whole time so it should be an interesting road trip! I can't wait!! I'm promising myself I will take pictures, hopefully lots of them so I can share with you! 

So with that said, this long weekend will consist of me cleaning house and doing laundry! Fun times! NOT! If I were richer I would so have a maid. Really. I'm not ashamed to say it! I would even be okay with someone that just cleaned the bathrooms and did the laundry. I could handle the rest. I procrastinate while doing laundry. Instead of folding and hanging clothes as soon as they are finished drying like any normal human being would do I let them sit in the dryer or throw them on a chair in our bedroom. I used to not be this bad about laundry.  I'm not quite sure where this lazy beast inside of me came from! I'm blaming it on moving the big chair into our bedroom about 3 months ago! I'm determined that you will actually be able to see the chair after this weekend and I am going to try my best to not clutter it as soon as I get back from vacation.

I hope your Memorial Day weekend is a more relaxing and more fun than mine appears it is going to be! Stay safe! Until next time....
