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!!
