So these last few weeks of school are DRAGGING!!! March and April flew by and I figured May would too... Oh no, I was wrong!!! Plus other schools are getting out soon, we (OKC public schools) start later in the year so we get out later and with our measley ONE snow day we always have to go several days later so June 2 is officially my last day of school! Yes! Then I get to go to camp with my middle school girls for the last time... sniff, they grow up so fast! Really looking forward to seeing what God does for my girls and myself this year.
The weather outside is gorgeous, thank you Jesus, and it's hard to be stuck inside.
Chris is travelling this week to Dayton, OH for work... it's always less fun when he is gone. I miss my husband when he has to go for work. Love you sweetie!
Working out for the past two weeks has been like avoiding the dentist because you don't want to have a root canal! I don't get it, I was so pumped and hardcore two weeks ago that I dropped two pounds that week, now I have zero motivation to work out or eat right... WHAT'S THE DEAL?!?!? I mean I had a salad for lunch, that is good but the bag of sunchips, a snickers and 5 mini chips ahoy cookies??? See my problem? I can't seem to get rid of sweets, even if I haven't had any in a while I love, love, love em... What's your biggest food trap? Fajitas? Chips? Chocolate? EVERYTHING YOU SEE?? Let me know.
All I know is that today it ends... tomorrow I will choose healthy snacks and stick to it... "today was a eat whatever you want because you want to day"... Here's to tomorrow!

April Overview and May Beginnings
Hello! I know I am not the best at updating our blog, I will try and do better. Most of the time though when I remember I need to update is during the day and therefore I am actually working... Anyways I will try to be more consistent for the few of you that actually check this out.
April - We had a good time this month... We had a friend's birthday dinner at the Melting Pot (YUM!!!), the Gavin Degraw concert, Easter and the 2nd of the cousin weddings in Chris's family (ours was the first).
We helped celebrate Natalie's 30th birthday party at the Melting Pot, oh my word was it delicious!! Especially the dessert! So good!! It was great to get to spend time with her and Jon. I can't believe it's almost been a year since their wedding. Yeah for them!!
I went to the Gavin Degraw concert with one of my best friends Joni! It was so much fun, she really really wanted to meet him so we bought a t-shirt, way cute, and since we spent a certain amount we got to meet him. :) He was really nice and very kind. It is so nice to meet someone who has such a grounded view on who he is and where he came from. We had such a great time, I love getting to spend any time I can with Joni. She is such an amazing woman and I miss her greatly since she lives in Dallas...
Lastly Erin and Brooks wedding was so much fun. It was nice to go to a family wedding and not have to be the one planning things and getting everything/one ready and where they should be. It was my first Catholic wedding and it threw me for a loop... It was such a beautiful wedding and it was great to see everyone and spend time with aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. Erin was such a lovely bride and they made the wedding so much fun. It was too short though... I wish we had a bit more time to spend with the family but we are looking forward to seeing some of them again when we go up to Ohio for Andrea's (Chris's sister) graduation from pharmacy school. We are definitely looking forward to that!
All in all April flew by with state testing at my schools and busy weekends... however there weren't too many showers, that has come in May... so much for April showers...
May started out with a mid-high all-nighter for me... Laura and I have gone the past two years and we enjoy getting to see our girls but it is trying with over a hundred middle school boys and girls... mainly the boys... SO glad I am a girl... the boys are CRAZY!!! I did fairly well staying happy and not grumpy until about 5 a.m and then everything went south... I was ready for bed and had less patience with loud kids... I survived though... once we got done at 7 I went home and slept for three hours before I had a hair appointment at 11, got home and we baby sat for our friends, I stayed up with precious Landry until 3 and then I crashed and slept until I had to get ready at 6 for the JEFF DUNHAM show! SOOOOOOO much fun! He is really funny and I love Achmed the dead terrorist... We laughed so hard, Chris and I really enjoyed it... We didn't get home until 11:30 and had church the following morning but I made it and got to take a nap Sunday afternoon... Loved it!
Last night I had a girls night with my friends from high school, we try to get together at least once every couple of months. It was so good to get to spend some time with them and laugh and hang out and enjoy each others company. We ate at Mama Rojas, it is good but it takes a while to get the food.
Today is Mother's day, I am reminded of how incredibly blessed I am to have such a terrific mother and mother-in-law. My sweet husband got me a card and a gift certificate to Express... for those of you who don't know, I am the proud mother of two sweet dogs. :) He was precious, Chris that is... I love my mom and I am so thankful for all she has done for me in my 28 + years of life... My life has been enriched, stretched and blessed because she has been my mother. I am also blessed to have a mother-in-law who raised my husband with a good head on his shoulders and who has great morals and ideals. She is so kind and thoughtful and I couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-law.
So far May is off to a great start... the countdown has begun to the end of school... only 16 school days left!!!!! I can't wait for summer, I will try and post of pics of April later...
Peace out!
