Fun happenings!

The past week or so have been fun! Betho & I went to Plano to spend the weekend with Rox, Cameron & Avery! It was SO fun to get to spend some time with Rox and the girls! I am obsessed with those little babies and can't wait to see them again. It was also fun to order pizza, make cookies and watch movies with Betho & Rox like old times!!! This past week we also had a little surprise party for Kara. Kara is one of my best friends and we lived together at ACU. I Love that she is in Houston! Some how the party turned into a costume party and we had fun playing games and acting weird! :)

My job situation is a little "in transition" right now. The company I am working for now wants to transfer me to a facility in Missouri City instead of the Heights. I'm not sure how I feel about this and I have gone on a few interviews this week. I have been praying and trying to decide what the best place is for me. Lance is still personal training while he looks for something more permanent. He is doing great at this job and has gotten a good amount of clients. I am SO glad he was able to find this job. It is the perfect, flexible job since he is going on interviews and looking for something more permanent. But for the mean time he is happy and doing great at this job!! However, he is starting to make me look bad with this whole "fit" thing!! :)

Continue to pray for Lance's job situation and our new life here in Houston. It seems to be one transition to the next. But we are loving it here and still LOVING that we don't study all night every night!! Enjoy the few pics below! Happy Saturday! Little C. Lily sleeping on Betho! Betho is freakishly good with kids!! I called her the baby whisperer b/c she was so good at keeping little Cam happy.

Crazy girls at Kara's party. I just LOVE them!!!

Hello again!

So its been a LONG time between blog posts. I am thinking it's been a matter of months. OOPS! I think it goes without saying that I have been busy busy busy!! So here is what has been going on lately:

I started my new job-finally felt like I was actually getting the hang of all the paper work, caseload etc. and get TRANSFERRED! The company I work for is called Rehab Care and the building I work in is owned by a company called Paramount. Anyway, Paramount didn't renew their contract with Rehab Care and I have been transferred to an acute long term care hospital. This means I will now be totally immersed into the medical world of Speech Pathology which intimidates me more than I can express. I am starting to wish I would have listened more in my medical classes as opposed to hiding the People Magazine in my book and saying, " I will never work in a hospital, this doesn't matter!" I can't believe I actually just admitted that I did that! However, I am very excited about what I will potentially be able to learn in this setting and now I will never be bored at work! I haven't actually accepted this position and will be touring the facility Wednesday, but if it all works out I will be changing jobs October 1st. Wish me Luck!

Went to Mexico- We went to Mexico with some wonderful college friends and had one of the best weeks ever!!!! We layed out, ate, layed out, ate, layed out, ate. Getting the picture! It was so fun and was the best way to relax before entering the working world.

Reconnected with family- We got the chance to spend some quality time with family this summer. We now live in the same city as lots of family and have loved seeing them. We also got to see Lindsey and Ava a couple times in from Abilene. We are hoping to make a trip to see Lance's family soon too!

Made new friends- We have been so lucky/blessed to have already made some wonderful friends at church. We love our class at church and have been spending time with some great people. I am in a bible study on Monday nights with some girls and Lance has been playing volleyball and softball with some guys. Everyone has been so welcoming and have made us really feel at home at church!

Spent time with old friends- One of the best things about living here is that it is home to some of my best, lifelong, friends! I forgot how much I missed some of my best friends when I was away in Lubbock. I get to go walking, go to movies, and have dinner with lots of my best friends now on a weekly basis. It is GREAT!!! :)

One of my best friends had a baby- One of my lifelong best friends Roxanne had baby number 2. We just had a "Sip n' see" shower and is was great. Little Cameron Lily was a hit! :)

Lots of trips to Austin- and last but not least I have made what feels like several trips to see Betho & Cody and they have made lots of trips to see us!! I MISS Betho when I have gone more than 3 days without seeing her and am still holding on to hope that she will be here one day.

Ok that's all, sorry for the lack of pics, I am too lazy today! :)
