Olympics

For the first time ever, Brandon has kinda been obsessed with the Olympics, so they've been on a lot at our house. I am just constantly amazed at some of the sports these athletes commit their lives to. Like curling, for example. So weird! Brandon swears that its awesome and there's so much strategy to it, but come on. How silly would you feel if you were one of those sweepers?!?! And, by the way, I seriously think it would more appropriately be named hurling, not curling- after all hurling does describe the action more accurately- they're hurling that ball thing down the ice. Anywho, we've been enjoying the winter sports. And I respect these winter athletes all the more because I go back to the time I attempted to go snow skiing in highschool. It was brutal.

We've had a pretty lazy weekend so far. Last night Brandon and I had a nice little date night out, and today we've just kinda bummed around. Thank goodness for a dog who is as lazy as we are:) Tonight we're going over to Jared and Kristi's and I'm excited to get to see Colt. We haven't seen them in far too long so we're excited to get to see em. Tonight my parents are watching Allie's Step Sing show in Birmingham. She did all vocal directing for her club's show, so she's pretty nervous. Good luck Allie, wish we could be there!!!

Happy Birthday Daddio

Today is my dad's birthday, and I just wanted to wish him a wonderful long distance birthday from Texas. My dad is the best ever. He's really one of my best friends in the world, and I am so blessed to have grown up with him being the person I look to for guidance. He has always been there for me, but he has also taught me to do and think for myself. I only hope to be as good a parent to my kids someday. My dad is one of the reasons it is sometimes so difficult to be living in Texas, but at least we get to talk a lot. And luckily he has finally learned to text message:) I wish I were there to bake a cake and sing happy birthday you, dad, but we'll see you soon.


Happy Birthday Dad!!! Love you so much!

Snowwwwwwww

As everyone knows by now, it snowed in Dallas. A LOT. Like a record-breaking 12.5 inches- and we loved every inch. Brandon was off work and we had a great time in the snow, but Bailey had an absolute blast. Here's a few pictures and a video we took. After 24 hours of snow, this is what our house and street looked like...

Well now all the snow is melted and now life goes back to normal. But at least we had a few beautiful days to make the cold a little more acceptable. I had really fun girls night with Ashley, Meagan, and Miranda Lambert then Brandon played paint ball in the snow with guys from church. We had a great weekend and a very relaxing Valentine's day. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
