El Paso

Last weekend Houston and I made a road trip out to El Paso, Texas to visit his Grandad and his wife, Hilde. We had such a fun time out there and we had no idea what party animals they were :) It was nice to see all of the places that Houston had talked about for so long. He got to see a lot of things too that he's heard many stories about over the years. The drive took 6 1/2 hours but it felt like it only took an hour. It was so nice to be able to share that trip with Houston because it was so important for him to make it out there to spend some time with them.They took us country dancing, we went to the bar and hung out with their friends, we took a trip to Elephant Butte Lake and to a look out point near their house. We looked at pictures, watched some videos and listened to some great stories about his childhood. It was really nice to get to know them much better during this trip! Here are a few of the pics...

Promotion!

I got a great new position at work. Right before Christmas I found out that I am the Assistant Wedding Coordinator at my country club. I'm still doing my previous position with the real estate side too, so it's been super busy at work. I am absolutely loving this job and everyone that I work with is awesome. What a difference it can make by working for someone that you respect and truly love working for. My boss is a great lady and she has so much experience. It's like night and day compared to my previous position. I guess god works in mysterious ways though and I thank him all of the time for sending me out here to Blackstone. Where I work is absolutely beautiful and it's 5 minutes from home :) I can't complain! Here is a picture of the wedding lawn out here, so if you know someone who is looking for a place to get married...let me know!

Our beautiful Godchildren

Last Saturday night we headed down to Wickenburg to visit our great friends the O'Brien's. They just bought a beautiful new home, so we went down and visited. We got to play with their adorable kids and deliver some toys too. Man are they cute. We are so blessed to have them in our lives and we feel so fortunate that we were chosen to be their Godparents. I know how important my Godparents are in my life and I'm so privileged that I get to fill that role for them. My Godmother Sheena is one of the greatest ladies I have ever met and she has been such a huge inspiration in my life over the years. And of course, my Uncle Mark was such a wonderful Godfather and I miss him everyday. Here they are :)

Suns Game

A few weeks ago we went to a Suns game. It was on Friday, January 9th and the game was so much fun! We ate at Stoudemire's before the game and it was really good food. Neither one of us had every been there before and we were both really happy that we picked that place. We played awesome that night, so it made the game that much better. Our seats were 10 rows up from the floor and it really makes you realize how huge those guys are. I can't believe how tall they are, they make the refs look like dwarfs. It was such a blast being able to spend some quality time with my hubby. Anyways, here are a few pics...

Family in Town

We had Houston's Uncle Jim and his cousin Sarah in town for the Tostitos Bowl game in the first weekend of January. Sarah goes to the University of Texas and Uncle Jim is an alumni there, so of course they had to come out and cheer on their team. We don't get to see them very often so it is always a lot of fun when we get to see them. Sarah is such a beautiful and sweet girl!
