After Scott and I cleaned out some closets this weekend, I was reminded of some memories that had long been put on a shelf and nearly forgotten. Growing up, throughout college, and post graduation, I've had some pretty fun (and surprising) jobs. Some lasted years, others just a day!TOP TEN: MY 10 LIVES1. Waitress at a mexican food restaurant (this was the one-dayer!)2. Junior sales associate at Dillard's. I "won" this one while I was in high school as part ...

Oh my, what a fun outing. Fun times were had by all. See pictures if you don't believe me. Oh about the picture above? I know. John Paul.We were the only folks in Buda that morning apparently. When I called the front desk before we left, Judy - the friendly Jardine's lady - let me know that they only do tours for 10 or more and you have to call ahead. But, we ventured down there anyway. Hey, there was ...

FINALLY - the editor toolbar is back up and I can post photos...except today we're at my parents house in South Austin. :::Sigh:::So, I'll give you the scoop and post pictures later. But only if you promise to come back :-)Last week, Aunt Amanda joined me and the kids for a field trip to the Jardine's factory. What a hoot. Must check back for pictures. Thanks for going with us Aunt Amanda, we had a blast!And, today, Will started Golf ...

Well, aren't you lucky? TWO posts in ONE day!If my trek to Dallas to see two of my former college roommates wasn't enough, one of my other roommates and I met up last weekend, just outside of Marble Falls (about an hour west of Austin). Janathan (sorry, that was our name for her, her real name is Jan) and Leighton have three VERY adorable kids - Zack (8), Caleb (6) and Sarah (4-1/2). Our kids had a great time, it ...

At last Friday's VBS Closing Mass, Scott joined us. Can I tell you how much I love that Scott can leave his job and come to stuff like this??? Oh, and can I also tell you that it was a spectacular hour with God? We had 170 kids, 100 adults and youth volunteers and about 75 parents and family members that attended. But, for me, it was more than the numbers. The songs, the homily, Fr. Albert's enthusiasm and the ...
