Our 1st Anniversary

Our anniversary was wonderful. Mark and I had planned to go out to our favorite restaurant in Dallas. And, at work that day Mark’s boss gave us a big gift certificate to the restaurant because she new it was our favorite. I drove up to Dallas and picked Mark up from his job. We went to the restaurant and we both got lobster. It was amazing. Then when we got home I had secretly made a triple decker devil’s food cake with chocolate icing. I told Mark we had to eat our cake we had saved from the wedding. He was not very happy about it, because he thought it was gross to keep it. But, then I surprised him with the chocolate cake, and told him to just take one bite of the other. He had one bite and really like the wedding cake, it did taste so good. So we ate the old wedding cake and then grazed on the chocolate cake the next day. I am upset that we didn’t get a picture together for our anniversary. I am so bad at taking pictures! Here are two I did take...

The top of our wedding cake and the chocolate cake I made for Mark.

For our anniversary we got each other living room furniture. We got a coffee table, side table, and couch to match the rest of our furniture. This is our coffee table and some flower Mark gave me.

Moving and Garage Sale

We had a garage sale for my marathon and we moved this past weekend. It was a crazy weekend, but we got it all done. We just moved across town from a duplex to a big house. We are still in Midlothian. Here is our new house, I will post pictures of the inside when we get unpacked…

Memphis

I traveled to Memphis, TN this week to represent Truett at the CBF national convention. I am getting tired of traveling without Mark. The trip was good, it was long days though. I got to run on the Mississippi River and it was so beautiful. There were a few different Truett students and faculty there. We got to eat the all kinds of famous restaurants, and Truett paid, it was nice.

Mark's Summer Jobs

Mark has been busy this summer. He is working in the mornings as in intern with a Dallas county criminal judge. He has really had some awesome experiences. Then, in the afternoons he works for a lawyer in Dallas. He does all kinds of hands-on things. He is really loving the experience at both jobs, but it is hard work. And, he has to wear a suit everyday!

Brian and Laura's Wedding

Brian and Laura got married this weekend in Shreveport. It was an amazing wedding weekend and we had so much fun. The rehearsal was so cute and the wedding was beautiful. We were so happy to be apart of their special weekend!

Unfortunately we only took one picture of the weekend and it isn't really that good...

Colton's 1st Birthday

Our nephew Colton turned one this week. We can't believe he is already 1! We traveled to Houston for his birthday party. Here are a few pictures from the fun.





Aunt Beth and Uncle Mark gave Colton books...

LA

I just got back from LA. I traveled there with a professor and tow other students to work at the Urban Youth Workers Conference. It was a packed week, but I enjoyed it. We got to speed sight-see the say we got there.
