Ah, Vacation… You’re a Breath of Fresh Air!

See ya in 1.5 weeks!

Nate and I are beyond excited to get away for a while.  We are also so thankful for my parents always inviting us to tag along when my dad is sent somewhere with REC.  We are constantly thinking about things at church (it’s exhausting), so we are really glad to just get away and do one of our favorite things…. travel!

San Francisco here we come! 

On the list of things to do:

• See the Golden Gate Bridge (and go to the Park)
• See the “painted ladies” on “postcard row”
• See the Full House house
• See the giant Redwood trees (like drive through one)
• Go to Yosemite and see some of the tallest waterfalls in the world
• Go to Alcatraz
• Eat clam chowder at Fisherman’s Warf
• Take a picture of a seal
• Ride the cable cars
• Take a tour on a double-decker bus (I love those things)
• Go to Pier 39 open air market
• Spend some good quality time with Nate, Mom, and Dad

Can’t wait!

Big 12 Baseball

It has been a once-a-year thing in my life for like…. 15 years now.  Phillip’s 66 is one of the Big 12 Baseball sponsors, and my parents happen to own one, so we get tickets to go watch hours of baseball.  And I married a man that lives and breaths baseball so it is exciting to watch him enjoy it.

When we lived in Arkansas, we would take our vacation time around Christmas and around the Big 12 Baseball tournament. Ha.  We look forward to it every year.  I enjoy getting to see my parents for a while and Nate enjoys watching every pitch.

This year we watched about 24 hours of baseball in three days.  Usually I get a little bored, but this year it was great to just sit and relax with Nate.  We needed to give our minds a rest.

Last year, we went to a couple games with my good friends Cassie and Kaylie.  This year we went to a few games with Mom and Dad and one with Zack, Hollie, and Gage.

Here’s to baseball and many more years of going to the Big 12 Tournie.

A Little Color…

We all need a little color in our lives.  This Memorial Day Nate and I set out to add some life to our front porch.  We were excited to see if anything new popped up in our flower bed, but nope… nothing.  It looks very nice, but it is all green.  If we had money to spare we would put in a whole new flowerbed on the other side, but for now we just filled the pots we already had… and I think it did wonders for the front of our house.

Enjoy the colors of summer!
