Lion King

Well this past week has been great. We are both busy with work right now. End of the school year means LOTS of ARD's and right now alot of evaluations are due. Dave is loving his job more and more each day. I love hearing about his day because it can get very entertaining. This past weekend the dogs and I went to visit my parents up in OK. It was a lot of fun and much  needed. Mom and I went to see the Lion King on Saturday. It was AWESOME!!! Plus I sat by a 3 or 4 year old little girl who was commenting on everything and she was cracking me up. I was able to see the play through my eyes and hers, which I found awesome. Her mom felt awful and kept apologizing but it didn't bother us one bit. I highly recommend this play to everyone! The costumes were amazing. Other than that we stayed home and played with the dogs. They love my parents house because of their huge backyard plus thier dogs play with ours. We sat out on the deck Sat night drinking wine and enjoying the weather. However, I woke up Sunday with my throat killing me and it didn't improve throughout the day. Once I got back to Fort Worth I was 10 times worst. Dave went and got me some meds and ordered me to go to bed. He's been taking great care of me (as usual). I couldn't go to work yesterday (Monday) because I was feeling even worst than I was on Sunday. I think it was either a cold or just severe sinuses due to all the wind we've had. Dave kept me drugged up and cooked me lunch and dinner and allowed me to sleep the whole day away. I swear I have the best husband out there!! Cooper also seemed to know that I was sick and never left my side. He slept up by my head anytime I was asleep with his head on my shoulder. He made me very hot but it was so cute. If I rolled away from him he'd scoot until he was touching me again. Dave and I both found this very funny. He's never been this clingy. This morning I woke up and feel so much better!! 

Anniversary!

Well Dave and I are now back from our wonderful trip to The Gaylord over our 1 year anniversary. It was much needed and SOOOOOO relaxing. When we got there the parking garage was empty (always a good sign) so we got front row parking. Then we went to check-in and were surprised that we had a suite instead of a regular room like we were expecting. (Thanks Jeremy!) So we got into the suite and it was amazing! We had a long balcony, and the view was priceless. Above is the view and Below is our room.


















Sunday night we went to eat at the Old Hickory Steakhouse. It was very yummy and so romantic. They gave us a free Creme Brulee for dessert with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate on the rim of the plate. It was so pretty. Then we went to the margarita bar and had some drinks before heading back up to our room for champagne.

We got lots of free desserts throughout the weekend. We ate at most of the restaurants that were there. It was so nice because the entire time we were there it felt like we had the whole resort to ourselves. We rarely saw more than 30 people out and about when we were. We also got to go to the Spa there at the hotel. David got a mud-pedi (completely a guy thing) and I got a full body massage. It was so nice.


























We were the only ones there it seemed, which made it even more romantic for us and so very peaceful. Monday night we went to the Sports Bar where they have a huge screen that plays every sport that could possibly be playing up on this massive screen. They had these really comfy reclining chairs that we both thought we were going to fall out of. That night I surprised Dave with a rose petal turndown service in our room. It was so nice and the staff were wonderful. It didn't even feel like we were still in DFW.

We missed our babies but it was nice having some peace and quiet time. Of course they knew something was up and Sunday raised havoc at our house before we left and then again when my girlfriend showed up to puppysit. It was nice to come home to our own bed but this was a well deserved romantic get-a-way.

Very Exciting!

Well this past week Dave and I have been busy with work. Seems like the story of our lives right now. However, I would like to announce that on Easter not only will we be celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and his glorious promises of eternal life for all who believe in Him but this Easter is even more special to the two of us. It is David and my 1 year anniversary!! I am completely honored and humbled that our special day gets to be held on such a rewarding day for all us believers. Just 1 year ago we were standing in church proclaiming our vowels infront of God and all our close family and friends and now one year later we have the opportunity to be back in church celebrating such an amazing day with our Lord.  I get to celebrate my anniversary in church worshiping the Lord and his great gift along side my amazing husband! I consider this an amazing gift from our Lord. 

We are planning to go to church in the morning and then head out to The Gaylord in Grapevine, TX where we will stay until Tuesday. We are really looking forward to our stay there. We have heard TONS of great things about this hotel, their restaurants, and the atmosphere. We are also going to spoil ourselves in the Spa. I will put pics and info once we get back home. 

Also wanted to remind everyone about my walk for MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving). There are only 2 weeks left. If you can donate please do!! Even just $5.00 is awesome because it's $5 they didn't have. I know some people think this organization isn't all that important. I mean donations don't go towards a cure or anything but to families that have lost loved ones to a drunk driver this is the MOST important thing. Without MADD they may not be able to get through this. Children that loose parents may not have the support they need. People loose mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, children, every single day because of drunk drivers. If anything, this is far worse a lost because they didn't see it coming, they couldn't prepare, they didn't get to say "Good-Bye". Find it in your heart to help support these families and friends. Also lets help this organization to educate our children and youth so that they may make smart decisions when they are older. Lets also help this organization go out there to catch those individuals that buy for/sell to underaged kids.
