Tomorrow

Tomorrow I'm driving, yes DRIVING to Corpus. I have been fortunate enough to have Aaron flying me back and forth every six weeks or so. But this week Aaron's sister, Angela, was able to take a flight from Seattle to San Antonio to visit her family in Corpus along with her 3 month old baby, Ava. Angela moved to Seattle a couple of years ago after she was married. Her husband is stationed at the Naval base there. I really want to see her again and little Ava (for the first time), otherwise I will have to wait until the wedding in October. mas long.

So, tomorrow I'm leaving early from work to head down to the Sparkling City by the Sea. I'll be coming back on Sunday.

Spring Break is Great

Spring Break is great for many reasons. Most of these wonderful reason quit applying to me several years ago. But working for a ministry that works with ministers has it's perks. Alot of churches have staff who will either go on vacation, or missions trips, etc during spring break. This slow down is allowing me time to catch up on some tasks and project that are sitting on my desk. The only pitfall....when they come back, its gonna be non-stop.

Enjoy the rest of your spring break,... if it applies to you.

Wham! Bam! It's Uncle Sam!

It's tax time people! Ready or not, thirty days from today.....dun, dun, dun...your taxes are due. (shivers) Kudos to everyone who has already done theirs. Mine were submitted today. My taxes are done bebe! ahhhh, it feels good to have that behind me. Hey, I'm looking at the bright side. At least I didn't have to walk/ride a donkey to my hometown like Mary and Joe.

7 Months Away!!!

Everyone is telling me that time is going to fly and before I know it the wedding will be here. I think they're all lying to make me feel better. Each day seems to drag on. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. Today is the seven month marker. We've got most of the major things covered, we just need to get details worked out. Aaron's been great. He works on wedding stuff without me even knowing! Fi-ha-te! For example, I found out today that yesterday he called the caterer to ask what color napkins they have and tomorrow he is going to a rental company to look at lighting and stuff. I had no clue. He's just telling me about all this stuff that he's doing behind my back :) He's like my sure can wedding man, my bridal go-to guru, my super sly marriage guy, my clever cleaver. I could go on. It's all great, but it does leave me with some questions. Is he expecting me to pay him for all his wedding planning services? Will he also hem my wedding dress for me?

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait to see.......7 MORE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had joy, we had fun...

Relaxing. That is the word for this weekend. Cheli and I enjoyed each others company so much that neither one of us wanted to see our time together end. Unfortunately, it had to end.
We wanted our time together to be a time for us to relax and clear our minds from the planning process of our wedding. On Saturday morning, we went to Whitecap Beach which is about 5 miles from Mustang Island State Park. We walked down the beach and took photos of each other and sat down on the sea wall about 50 yards away from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The view was breathtaking. A cool sea breeze was blowing across the foamy surf. The water was relentless in its approach, but receded back to its place. The caw of hungry seagulls filled our ears. The salty air filled our noses. The crunching of South Texas sand filled in between our exposed toes. The warm sun kissed our skin.
We walked away refreshed. It was a beautiful day that day. Cheli and I are looking forward to our big day. I am looking forward to many more days like this past Saturday. Counting the hours...

I'm baaaaaccccckkkk!!!!

I just got into my room! What a weekend! Aaron and I had alot of fun in the Corpus Christi sun. Aaron and I did alot of fun things, but I am so very sleepy-ish so I'll have to blog about our adventures at a better time. But what I do want to share is a a mothers day card that Aaron wrote. We discovered it while looking through some old pictures. I don't know really what to call it, an essay? a scary edgar allen poe poem? not sure, but this is proof that Aaron has always been a deep thinker. (they guessed that he was in 3rd grade when he wrote this)

ENJOY! i know i did. I couldn't stop laughing.
