Hello Old Friend....

So, I am back.  I took a hiatus because life was getting a little too crazy.  I quit my job on May 12th and came home to job hunt and wedding plan full time.  Although I moved home I feel like I haven't even been in Katy very much.  After I moved home, we had to immediately run to College Station for Graduation...WHOOP! I am now officially a former student, but ALWAYS an Aggie.  It was so exciting!! That same weekend, Chad and I went looking at houses, with NO success.  Oh BTW, Chad got a job in College Station.  We were simply job hunting for any job for either of us, so his job came first! After many prayers, we decided that when we had found what God wanted us to do, it would simply just happen and would work out.  He will be installing cable tv for Mastec which does Direct TV.  He starts the week after the honeymoon! 

We went back to College Station the next week to meet with relators and find a house or duplex.  We finally found a duplex we LOVED. It is a 3 bed/3 bath with a huge yard for Brazos and Annabelle. It is gorgous.  We will keep you updated on it as we get closer to move in.  His training will be in Dallas for 5 weeks after the honeymoon, because they did not want to start him and have him have to leave for the honeymoon so he starts after.  So we get to stay in Dallas for a little bit, and move in to our Duplex in August.  

I had my first shower on May 9th.  My Aunt Karen, Dusty, and Aunt Cheryl were the hostesses.  It was so amazing to see the women in my life that have blessed me all in one place together, fellowshipping, laughing, and eating really yummy cake! I had such am incredible time.  I also got some pretty amazing gifts!! I also had my "Underwear" Shower as Chad calls it. It was a sweet girls night out that Mandi put together for me.  It was so fun to have a few girls that mean a lot to me hang out for a night.  

I had a fitting after the May 9th shower.  The dress is as perfect as I remembered!! It was really special that my aunts, Dusty, and Nana got to come with me and Mom.  It was so much fun to put the dress on with all the ladies around!

I also had my 22nd birthday! It was a lazy night going out to dinner with Chad, Mom, Dad, Nana, and Grandpa.  We went to Fridays, soo yummy!  I got a Brighton watch and all the Twilight book!! I am sad to say that I am sucked into the series and cannot wait to find out what happens to Bella, Edward, Jake, Charlie, and the Cullens. 

This past week we went to Dallas for Phillips and Lindsey's wedding. It was beautiful!!!  We stayed with Sally, Tim, and Peyton.  We saw Kim, Jeremy, and the kids.  We hung out with Uncle Billy and Aunt Donna. We stopped to see the Walkers on the way home. It was a crazy weekend. So much fun!

So, here I sit in Hondo.  He is playing my DS while I update the blog, trying to figure out our new video camera.  We got the marriage license this morning! It is for real now! I go back to Katy Saturday.  I pick up the dress Wednesday! then I have bridals and Rustys wedding with the Johnson clan next weekend.  Then, we have premarital bootcamp with Uncle Bobby June 12.  There are only 3 more weeks until theh big day! It is crazy!!! I am just ready for my sisters to get here. That is what I am ready for so much!!!! 

well, time to go eat and get the videos working.  Stat tuned to my facebook for more pictures and videos hopefully soon!! Love you!
