Goodbye 2013

I feel like 2013 has come and gone in the blink of an eye! This year was definitely one of the best years.. and from looking back at pictures, we had a blast!

We attended way too many concerts

Texas Mardi Gras / Gary Allan / GEORGE STRAIT / Kenny Chesney

Pat Green / Maroon5 & Kelly Clarkson / Eli Young & Josh Abbott / Randy Rogers Band

Went to just a few Rangers games!

 and there was Vegas

 We made one of the most fun decisions to build a house!

waited for what seemed like forever for it to be built

then finally moved in this month!

 Our sweet nephew, Kirby, was born!

 and we just couldn't get enough of all these sweet kiddos!

We enjoyed every second we could with friends and family!

Coached Cameron's 3rd grade volleyball team. They were League Champions!!

We were crazy enough to take on the awful ice storm.. by driving up the grassy median!
(All those trucks were parked on the high way. It was madness)

 We celebrated one year of marriage.. and as you can see, it's been a great year!
This handsome guy also completed his Master's Degree in Business!!

 I can honestly say this has been one of the most fun years of my life. I can't wait to see what next year brings!

Texas Tech/Baylor

Last weekend my parents took us all to the Texas Tech/Baylor game at Cowboys Stadium! Even though the game didn't turn out the way we hoped (as expected), we still had a great time! The tailgating is all that really matters anyway :) 

Here are a few pictures from our FUN weekend!! Thank you mom & dad!

 

Playing some catch

 

I got to end my weekend celebrating these cute girls League Championship!! They came a long way from last year and I couldn't be more proud!!

You guessed it!

I swear one of these days I will have something new to blog about! :) Things have been happening right and left at the house and it's getting so exciting! Since my last post, they have stained the cabinets (huge mess!), tiled the floors, installed the granite and counters in the bathrooms, door knobs, towel racks, security system, and started bricking! Most of these pictures were sent to me by Justin and Brennon. They have been so generous in keeping us updated at all times!!

 Collin inspecting the cabinets. There are a few knots that we are looking into getting fixed.

 

Master bathroom. I love the square sinks!

 

Hopefully after this weekend, I will be able to add a finished product picture of the outside of the house! Minus the landscaping, of course.

 

According to the mortgage company, we are closing on November 27th! That has yet to be confirmed through the builder, though. Seeing as how fast they are working to complete the house, 11/27 sounds about right! Cross your fingers :)

The House!... again.

Things are really starting to take shape at the house! I wanted to get a few pictures posted before the painters came and REALLY turned it into a home :)

  Pre-fireplace

 With fireplace :)

 This picture was taken at night of the kitchen.. but it's coming along so well!

We cannot wait to make this our home!!

First Anniversary

Collin and I just celebrated our first anniversary! It has been one heck of a year with that man. We have been so blessed this past year and we are looking forward to all the years ahead! 

We went to Morton's Steakhouse in uptown Dallas. They surprised us with this special one year anniversary menu!

Unfortunately the picture with the weird shadow on Collin's face is the only one we got all night! But he still looks so handsome :) I love you, Collin! Here's to MANY more years!

Great Wolf Lodge

A few weeks ago, Collin's parents completely spoiled the whole family with a fun weekend at Great Wolf Lodge! We had such a good time and even sneaked in a Ranger's game! We sat in the "all you can eat" section which is really the only way to go with large groups. We had a great weekend!

 These guys really took full advantage of the arcade!

 

 "Pop-a-shot Champion"

 Sweet girls!

 Ready for game time!

I thought this picture was so sweet :)

Thank you for a great weekend!!!
