Family Reunion 2010: Salado, TX-Stage Coach Inn.

This was my 1st Family Reunion to attend for Graham's side of the family...knew a few and met many! Surprisingly the "rain" was not toooo bad...but the Humidity!! yeah it was HORRIBLE!! I learned the hair "had" to be put up! We had a good time just hanging with family, family meals, golf game and shopping. Our time had to be cut short for GPB to head back to work for the 4th festival but glad we got to go and enjoy eachother's company! Thanks for a great time! Next round: 2 yrs from now! Views from our trip:

Celebrations are a fun thing!

Since last blog we have celebrated yet another birthday! This one for Kim's 25th!! One of my best friends from Dental Hygiene school! We love to hang out with her and her bf Clay, who live in Ft. Worth! They came down last sat. evening and we went to Hank's Bar & Grill for a little "Reckless Kelly" action. Always good to listen to some TX COUNTRY MUSIC!!! GPB was excited he got to bring out his cowboy hat in all~!

This is going to be a BUSY summer !!!! Since GPB's work schedule consists of working "every other weekend" literally, the weekends he is off from this point until after the weekend of Aug. 6th (Bloodworth Wedding Weekend!!) we have somthing going on!! Joyous Wedding's, Wedding party's, Family Reunion, Birthday's!! I love being busy and getting to see many friends and family that we have not seen in a while! Going to be a great summer time.

This weekend will be great, not only is a friend getting married but a best friend from McM, Tayler, will be here Thur. with her 4, 2, and 1 month old babies!!!!!! Have not seen them since their move to PA and ready to get ahold of Miss Emme!!!!!!! So I will be traveling to Midland with the Young "Clan" ;) to well...help watch the wonderful kiddos and enjoy Mallory's wedding!! I love babies and ready to hopefully soon, when GOD has planned, have one of our own!! I have come to learn that it is God's will on the timing in our lives! What he wants is what shall happen!!! And I LOVE knowing that...so everyone pray that the moment is in the near future!!!
