Our Busy Weekends

I gave up on blogging for a while because let's be honest I'm not the best writer in the world but here we go. And I have a problem with starting things and not following through on them... thus my Sanguine personality! So biggest news in case you did not already hear is that I am no longer at Travelers. It was a good experience but just not my cup of tea I decided. I realized throughout this whole process that I am very blessed to have my husband. Most people would think it was crazy to quit a stable salary job to finish real estate school and become commission based in a down economy... but we feel that's where I can best use my gifts and he has supported me the whole way. He was the one encouraging me to pursue something I want to do even when it doesn't make sense. It's so great to have a husband that takes care of me and really does want the best for me. So now I'm finishing up real estate school to take my test and jump in! And I occupy my time by working part-time at Banana. Let's hope all the money I make does not go right back into buying clothes!

We celebrated our first YEAR anniversary a few weeks ago! This has been such a fast year but yet it feels like it's always been this way because it's so right that we are together. We celebrated by taking a quick trip down to the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Matt took me on a shopping trip to the outlets and another outdoor mall. Such a great gift :) Then we ate dinner at Pacano's on the Riverwalk and watched the Rangers world series game. On the actual day we just relaxed watching Sunday football, ate our wedding cake and had champagne. It was actually really delicious! This year I have realized that I really did marry my best friend and the one person that gets me like no one else. I feel so lucky to experience marriage at such a young age and looking forward to many years to come!

Last weekend, I took a trip up to Austin to visit my college friends. It was so refreshing to see them and pick up right where we left off. We built a fire, dressed up as musicians for a Halloween party, and had some great conversations. This new phase of life is hard to be away from the friendships that grew so quickly in college. I'm not good with change so I have moments of nostalgia but I'm learning! This weekend we went camping with some friends from our church in Houston. It was perfect weather and we actually needed the campfire! It was great to get away and just hang out, cook meals over the fire and enjoy God's beautiful creation. However, I was very relieved to get back home to running water! And we celebrated our nephew's 1st birthday on Sunday! It was a great puppy party and he was adorable as usual. Next weekend... Matt's birthday! Not sure what we're doing yet.

Lately, we have just been getting more involved with our church, praying about somewhere to serve and volunteer, and staying busy building relationships here.
