Some Down Time

Well,
I was informed from a good college friend, Lindsey, today that I needed to get a new post on here because I haven't done one in a while. I almost forgot I had a blog! HAHAHAHA. But here we go -----

I am currently on spring break and its almost over while Michael is about to start his. :( I hate having different spring breaks - we never get to do anything exciting! I have been in Thorndale since Monday and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with my family and friends. It's hard living so far away from them, but I know that where I'm at in my life is all in God's plan. Today is my last day here and I'm headed back to Brownwood later this afternoon.

On Monday, I got to pick up my niece, Haleigh, from pre-K. What a joy! To have a child so excited to see you just overwhelms you. I love her like she's my own. :) Then I got back on my workout regimen and jogged all around Thorndale. It got me thinking - the more things change, the more they stay the same. I jogged all around and saw the homes of friends growing up, the tore up streets full of potholes, the high school kids still practicing baseball and softball, the little kids practicing t-ball, and it just brought back alot of wonderful memories. :)

Then on Tuesday, my mom, granny, and I all went to Round Rock. First stop was at Hobby Lobby. Gosh, I could spend a fortune in that store! I got baby Myla a new little bow (so cute!), a mold for my Scentsy wax, and some scrapbooking things. Then we did some errands for my Granny. We had such a relaxing day and I know the times I get to spend with them are very special. As soon as we got back to Thorndale, I got to pick up a special girl from school again. I'm telling you, that little girl absolutely melts my heart more times than I can count! I also got to take her to tball practice last night. I cannot wait to have a child of my own to teach and have fun with on the baseball/softball field! I also got to see one of my best friends, Malissa, and her baby, Myla, last night. She has changed so much since December. Probably one of the cutest babies ever! I cannot wait to have kids! I've got the fever pretty bad right now! When I got home, mom, dad, and I sat out on the front porch and just talked. The weather was perfect and its been a long time that were able to spend some alone time with each other. Later on, we got burgers from the beer joint and they were wonderful! Its been a very long time since I've had one!

Now its Wednesday. I'm about to make lunch for mom and go visit my Meme and Grannie Biehle then its on my way back to Brownwood to spend a couple of days with Michael before he goes on break. Plus, I just miss my hubby. God truly put the most wonderful man in my life!

Michael and I are looking to take a trip to the Dominican Republic - Punta Cana this summer. We are naming it our 'Early Birthday/Anniversary/Graduation (Michael gets his Masters in May)/Before we have babies trip'! We are so excited to try something out of our comfort zones but I think it will be good for the both of us to spend quality time alone with each other since we are so busy with our careers. Coaching is awesome, but since we both coach, that means no time during the year for each other. That's a new goal for us too - not to let our 'work' consume us. Maybe thats something everyone can work on! :)
