Family Vacation-Montana

Well, I just got back from a 6 day family reunion/vacation. I had a good time but I hate going out of town without my husband. He had to stay and get his flying hours in. I took about 400 pictures...I know I know. Insane. I will post a few on here to show you what all we did!!

In the terminal on the way to the plane!!!


A picture I took out the window somewhere between Dallas and Billings, Montana. Beautiful! I can't believe Matt gets to see this view every day!!!




We just stepped off the plane and I was COLD in Montana! 58 degrees F!


This was the cute farm house we stayed in! It was in the middle of nowhere.



Random:
A few of my Young Life girls told me about this new romance/thriller book that just came out. I thought, ok, I guess I give it a try. OMG!!! This is such an amazing book. I really was skeptical when I heard it was about a vampire and a human falling in love. I'm not really into vampires....but the story line is awesome! The book has the same amount of romance as it does freaky/send-a-shiver-down-your-spine scary parts!! Its great! I totally recommend reading it!
I couldn't put it down. I finised it in 3 days and was crushed when I realized I didn't have the sequal to start immediatly after I was finished with the first!! I bought the second at the airport on the way home!! I couldn't wait!!



Mom and I next to the bonfire!


Me in the boat that we rented. We had gorgeous scenery all around us!


My parents in the boat. I was cold outside!


We got to Kayak!


Family Picture minus my brother who is a Jr. at RICE.


Isn't the sky pretty! I took some fun pictures while they jumped bails of hay!

Baby Fever

So I now officially have baby fever. So much in fact that I told Matt today that whenever he's ready....I'm ready. Well, he is definitely not ready to actively start trying but he did say he wouldn't be freaked out if we got pregnant now like we both would have been if it would have happened right after we got married. Now that we've been married almost 3 yrs, it has creeped inside my head more often. We still haven't traveled to the places we wanted to and we still haven't bought a house yet and we would like to do that first. I have to say within the next two years I think we might consider it. Especally since 1 of our close friends just announced she took 11 pregnancy tests and 6 came back positive. Also, my cousin who is a couple years older, just announced she is also pregnant! So we might get to practice the whole baby thing on someone else pretty soon! Matt really wants to hold a baby and get a better feel of it. After that I think I will really be able to tell when he will be ready. I really feel like I was made to be a mom, not a nurse, a mom, first and foremost. I love my job but I really feel like being a mom is so much more important and priceless. I might never quit my job all together but I feel like I won't want to work full time. We will see!! Who knows! This is such a random subject I have gotten off on!!!! Thanks for letting me get it all out!!!!

Young Life Camp July 19-27th

What an awesome experience! It was so nice to be in the mountains and be away from work! We had 4 adult leaders and 18 high schoolers go. It was crazy but fun. Here are some fun pictures!

Photographer on the Side


Have I mentioned that photography is a major hobby of mine? I would like to take a class and learn how to better use my fancy camera and new telephoto lens. Some of our best friends just got engaged and we went out and took pictures. We had a great time and I learned a lot about the camera.

Summer Fun Pictures

When we first moved in to our apartment we had some of our friends over to swim and hang out. I took random pics while playing games.







Brandon Lauren Matt and I took a little road trip to the lake house last weekend. Here are a few pics.

Finally on our way. We kept forgetting things and then we had to pee and then we were hungry. It took us forever to get on the road.


Yes Brandon was driving 60mph while smiling for the camera.
















So pretty and peaceful! This is about a minute before it started to pour down rain!!


Pouring down rain!!!! Of course Matt and Brandon are swimming in the lake during the thunderstorm. Too spooky for me.



There is a new water park in Mansfield. My family went on Sunday after church and had a great time! It's a smaller version of Hurricane Harbor in N. Arlington. I snapped some pics while we were there. Too bad Matt couldn't come. He was flying.
