Spring 2009

Port O'Connor

This past Sunday we went fishing in Port O'Connor and had the best time. It was the perfect ending to spring break
I loved watching the pelicans glide over the water and catch the bait fish. They are so graceful!

Kenneth caught the first redfish, isn't it a beauty?!? 38 inches long and 39 pounds... crazy big!

These fish were massive... I have never seen a fish caught that large in my life!

Second catch, he is a really good fisherman!!! I guess since he caught me and all .....

Our friend Randy took a turn and brought this big fellow in.

My turn!!! You could hear the drumming inside the fish when you held it, it was amazing!

Now I can really say I caught a fish "this big"!

He finally caught one right as we were about to come in off the water. It was a long drive down, three hours, but so worth it when we started catching!

New business

Quite by accident I think I have started a new business... card making!!! It seems that there is a little demand for my projects as I have now done them two years in a row for a friend. I have a blast doing them, have a therapeutic outlet for my creativity, and make a bit of money on the side. Well, enough to cover the costs of supplies anyways! I think it may be the solution to my nursing school stress... So please, if you know anyone who is in need of birthday invitations, note cards to send, Christmas cards, or anything along the same lines let me know and I would be happy to put them together :)
I've even started to put together a binder of my work so that people can look them over and get an idea of what they would like made. These are the invitations that I recently made for my friend's daughters birthday party.... aren't they cute????

Dylan and Pups

How stinkin cute is this??? I took Dylan for his last "field trip" to see the puppies before they go to their new homes this weekend. I think he likes the soft fur as much as I do!

This little black girl gave his kisses after he spit up some of his sweet potato lunch... sounds yucky I know but it was adorable!

Employee Banquet 2009

Thursday evening was the annual City of Katy Employee Banquet hosted by the Mayor Don Elder. This years theme was "Mardi Gras" and it was a blast! For the first time it was held at Agave Road, a new event hall in Katy off of 1463. It was gorgeous inside! Catering was by Los Cucos and they accidentally served us real margaritas!!! (The city had ordered them virgin)
Me and my girlfriends who work for the City of Katy, Maria Galvez and Kelli Chapman. They are sweethearts!

Kelli was sweet enough to take this picture of Kenneth and I. We had a great time! Dessert was humongous slices of cheesecake with drizzled strawberry sauce. Yum! They took formal photos of us outside so I'll scan that one in once I get it :)

Puppies 5 Weeks

Houston Rodeo!

Last Tuesday a big group of us went to go see Rascal Flatts open the Houston Rodeo for this season. It was a blast!!! Forgive me if I look a little rough, but I had just finished a twelve hour clinical at MD Anderson. All my other clinical buddies headed home for some sleep but I couldn't stop thinking about the Rodeo! It was wonderful to see them again, we had the opportunity to see them last year at the rodeo as well. I couldn't believe all of the fireworks that were set off inside the stadium... Who would have thought???
