Going Green!

We've done it...we've gone green.

Although, not in the way you might think :)

We've been painting! GREEN! We decided to repaint Jon's childhood bookshelf & my childhood bulletin board green this past week. Its still white with primer in the picture ~ so we'll have to update & let you see the finished product later!


We also headed out for an Aggie Baseball game verses TCU...It was fun! We won!

Blessed Local Music

This sweet town we live in ~ College Station ~ is the hub of many gifted artists whose desire is to glorify God with the music they write, sing & play.

One of those is Jimmy Needham. How God has blessed this man to sing & write music that displays the Gospel clearly & rightly. Jon & I love, love, love his music! He sings the Word...passionately. I'm not sure I can say much else about him that is better than that!

I couldn't find any quality videos or tracks to add to this post ~ However, you can check out his music here. We are headed to one of his concerts on Friday ~ if you are around you should join us!

The Fun of Senior Song!

Tonight, Jon & I attended the Texas A&M Women's Chorus spring concert. It was my second time to actually see the concert from the audience's perspective ~ It's still kinda weird to realize my college days are over!

We very much enjoyed the Class of 2009 Senior Song this year ~ which if I had not had class conflict & graduated early (there were a lot of things working against me for this) would have been mine too! It was fun to see all my friends perform!

They sang a song to the tune of Bohemian Rapsody by Queen ~ Enjoy the video!

Here are a few pictures from after the concert as well...

My sweet WC girlfriends, Jessica & Audra.


Standing with Audra as we sang I Believe at the end of the concert...It's tradition!

Audra's Ring Day!

Today, I had the joy of joining Audra when she received her Aggie ring...which for those of you who don't know that's a BIG deal for us Aggies! We work very hard to earn it & the day we get it is a huge landmark!

My college roomies, Audra & Brittney ~ very fun!
(Audra has been introducing Jon as my new roommate & it makes me laugh!)

This is a video of Audra actually getting her ring ~ I loved the jumping. Enjoy a peak at what every Aggie looks forward to!

More Honeymoon...

The wedding weekend was a blast & just flew by! Before we knew it we were overlooking the beautiful, sunny beaches of Cancun. It was such a relaxing trip & wonderful to be together! Here are some pictures ~ so you can enjoy a taste of our amazing honeymoon!

This was the view from our balacony! We loved it!

We did take a morning to go snorkeling ~ our adventure of the week! It was amazing to see the little & big fishes ~ as well as the coral reef that the Lord has made & sustained!

We also went kayaking ~ which we did very well at ~ until a little topple over in the ocean at the very end of our voyage!

We enjoyed our days on the beach ~ Here I am sporting the sunglasses that the ocean now owns!

We very much enjoyed the food ~ it was wonderful. The displays were even pretty! Here is a carved watermelon!








We found this little coffee shop, Mikes & it become one of our favorite spots to sit, chat & enjoy some good reading!






One of our other favorite restaurants made wonderful fajitas (& other things too) ~ so great we will share the description with you!

Fun with Mikayla

Last night, Jon & I went over to watch Mikayla ~ one of our sweet little friends. She was just recently one of our flower girls. We had alot of fun playing which consisted of hide & seek, watching movies, airplane, much tickling, dancing & reading of books!

Here is a glimpse of Jon's Airplane Game to which Mikayla replied ~ "Again Jon ~ Airplane again!!

Knitted Together...

I am amazed ~ Just how amazing is our Lord who knits together these tiny babies??

See my niece, Natalie Elyse, shakin' & bakin' in the Lord's care below :)

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully & wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works & my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them" Psalm 139: 14-16

Honeymoon Snapshots

Hello ~ from two very happy married people! We thought we would share just a few pictures of the honeymoon for now ~ more to come later! We also wanted to share eight things with you since we had the blessing of being in beautiful Cancun for eight days! We love you all!

1) We had a blast ~ relaxing, resting & enjoying time together.

2) We praised the Lord all week for his beautiful creation ~ we enjoyed the beach, the ocean & the sun (and our favorite drink lady ~ who supplied us with fluids on the beach) ~ ALL week!

3) We loved relishing in memories & piecing together our separate memories of the wedding day ~ and realizing the great grace of God to us in allowing us to become one!

4) We heard our fair share of Kenny G ~ multiple times a day! We contemplated offering to buy the restaurants a new soundtrack...


5) We were overwhelmed by the graciousness of people to come out & celebrate with us ~ what a blessing & gift of people's time!

6) Megan was delighted to eat guacamole daily & Jon actually decided he kinda liked it! She's winning him over! (He actually discovered he makes very good dressed up coffee as well ~ and LIKES it!)

7) Isn't that the most fun sand castle? We enjoyed playing in the sand & claiming other people's amazing works as our own : )

8) We are married! We are enjoying one of God's richest blessings ~ what a sweet joy it is to be daily encouraged & challenged our walks with the Lord as we mutually seek Him & His glory ~ and on top of that to be loved & cared for within the context of marriage to your best friend! We love it!
