Fort Worth Friendships

Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?  FtW is a great town and in my opinion, way better than Dallas.  Jordan and I spent last weekend in the FtW area so that I could attend a bachelorette party!  My dear friend, Amanda, is getting married this year!  I first met Amanda in 7th grade and we were two peas in a pod through middle and high school.  I have sweet memories of us girls chatting and dreaming about our futures during long bus rides with the band to HS football games.  This girl survived adolescence, trigonometry, prom, and so many other events with me!  I'm so thrilled for this new chapter in her life and honored to celebrate with her! 

Jordan was such a sweetie and offered to drop me off and pick me up at the end of the evening.  Since we were already in the area and had a few spare minutes, Jordan and I stopped by the church where we got married to take a quick selfie!  The FUMC in downtown FtW is such a gorgeous building but that place feels so special to us!  It doesn't get much better than that! 

This is a picture of the exterior of the sanctuary.  Visit the FUMC website HERE for information.


Selfie at the front door of the sanctuary!  This month will be 6 years since Jordan and I got married and I love this man more year after year!

Later that evening, the festivities started!  Amanda looked gorgeous and I had fun getting to know her sweet friends!
Briana and Kacy did a beautiful job decorating it looked so pretty!  This beautiful sash was purchased via Etsy.com and was the perfect classy addition to Amanda's outfit.

I don't have too many photos from the evening but managed to pull together the following favorites of the night.
We celebrated progressive style hopping around places such as Piranha sushi and Taverna.  Both were new places to me and seemed like great venues!
Lastly, this cake pictured in the bottom right was A-mazing!  This is from the Swiss Pastry Shop also in downtown cowtown.  It has a very light texture and isn't at all what I would describe as "cake-like".  Yum!

That's it for today.  Happy March everyone!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   H...

July 4th with Family

Image
Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she...

Cha Cha Run

Image
This week I am proud to say I actually got in a few runs. It feels very good to accomplish even 1 run during the week these days.  I did week 6 day 1 and day 2 of the Couch to 5K program .   I haven't run in a few weeks so it felt good to get back into my rhythm.  I've never experienced " runner's high " but I feel I've come close while listening to a few of my favorite songs.  My current favorite is "I Know What You Did In the Dark" (Light 'em Up) by Fall Out Boy.   A few weeks (okay months) ago, this song came on while I was running.  I'd started my run a little later than usual so the sun was lower in the sky and a storm was on the way.  I thought surely I could fit my run in before the storm hit.  I was wrong.  The storm was blowing in just as I reached my half way mark.  The light sprinkles felt great on my face and as I hit my stride this song pushed me harder and faster.  There are some great lyrics in this s...
