Visitors...

So its been a over a week since they have left.. and, yes, that means I am behind on the blogging, but never late than never, right?!?!

So, our visitors, they came all the way from Colorado (and brought yucky weather with them) but all in all we had a fantastic time. We were able to get out and do some fun Dallas activities... like, Ripley's Believe It Or Not-where we met celebrities (of course, they were wax, lost ourselves in a maze of mirrors and saw numerous oddities). But we mainly stayed around the house and swam (and played with Dexter). I am pretty sure it is a tie, between what they liked the most, a pool in the backyard or Dex. In fact, when asked what they were going to miss the most it was 1.) Dexter 2.) the pool and 3.) Travis.

T and I had an absolute blast, we loved playing with the boys and talking with the parents! We were, however, left totally exhausted. And anxious for our next visitors.

Phone Emergency...

My phone tragically met its maker.. and I am at a complete loss. And with it took all my numbers. As we all know, those little gadgets are our lifeline to the outside world.. so I am without any of my friends and families phone numbers. If you get a chance please send me your number. Thanks

Summer Pics

As I mentioned before, earlier this month we made a trip home. While visiting some awesome friends we went out on Lake Calhoun and did some kayaking! It was awesome fun.. here's the proof:

Summer is here... and FLYING by!

Wow... Summer is here and it is already June 19. It seems like it should still be March or maybe April..but NOT mid-June already! T and I thought that this was going to be a low-key summer but it seems to be booking up quickly. We had a EXTREMELY busy spring (with a couple trips back to MN (one being unexpected), visitors, a trip out to Georgia, and my girls trip to D.C.) so thought that a low-key summer was in order, but does not feel like it is shaping up that way! Oh well, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Since it has been awhile since my last post, I will give a quick update about what has been going on with us. We took a trip up to Minnesota to visit with friends and family. We had a lovely time and were able to see lots of people that we hadn't seen in awhile! (we even got to see my bro, Erik, play some softball- - even if he did break his hand... poor guy!)

Other than that trip, we have been around the house..being really busy but not really doing anything. I have been back to the job-search (which I am REALLY sick of.. and now considering non-legal opportunities and/or opening my own firm). Travis on the other hand is still loving his position at Clark and staying really busy there.

Finally, we are getting excited for some visitors this summer and just hanging out in our pool.

Girls Getaway....Baltimore & D.C

Just got back from Baltimore and D.C with my mom and Kathryn (the trip was our third official girls-getaway and a Christmas Present from Mom and Dad!) It was another fantastic time filled with history, museums, laughing and bonding!

We started in Baltimore, which was wonderful, before this trip Baltimore had never crossed my mind as a place to visit. So I was very pleasantly surprised how much Baltimore had to see and do. We took 2-free tours, given by the Tourist Board, which were some of the best town tours I've been on, and they were free. We then went out to Fort McHenry and of course dinned on crab and other delicacies of the sea!

Once we finished our fun on Baltimore, we headed over to D.C (might I add that I LOVE the train system that the East Coast has-its so refreshing to not have to take a car everywhere!). Once in D.C, we did our best to cram as much into our 5 days as possible. We saw all the memorials (during the day and night), went to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Natural History Museum, the Capital, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Portrait Gallery, the White House, the Holocaust Museum, Arlington National Cem., the Americam History Museum, and Mount Vernon. Then, when Mom and Kathryn had to catch a flight home, I added on the American Indian Museum and the National Gallery.

We saw and learned so much, I don't think it would have been possible to get in one more thing!

Girls Get Away!!!!!

I can not wait... tomorrow I am leaving for a MUCH-ANTICIPATED girls getaway with mom and Kathryn. We are first headed to Baltimore and then to Washington D.C! I am so so excited, it has been 2-whole long years since we have done a girls trip!

I really feel like these trips are so important for us girls to stay close.. and even more so since we now live in three different states! So anyways I can not wait.. and in honor I have included some pics from our last getaway to New York!

Mother's Day!!

To my mom...

Thank you for all that you do for me, for all the advice, encouragement, support, and especially the friendship that you have given me! Its not everyone who has a mom that they consider to be a best friend, but I do, and I am ever so thankful. I love you so much!!
