Fun Spring Break!

This week I was able to have some much needed fun. These past few months I have been working very hard with my mother-in-law remodeling her lake house. We have been painting, peeling wallpaper, organizing, picking out granite countertops, tile, paint colors, faucets, sinks, mirrors, light fixtures, etc. On top of the work we have been doing at her house we have been helping Jeff and my father-in-law with their custom home building business. It has been crazy but I have learned so much about homes. Because this past week was spring break Jill and I decided we would take a break from working. It was nice to have a few days where all we did was shop. My mission this week was to find Brayden a cute Easter outfit so I could get some pictures taken of him at JC Penny. I have not shopped for him in a long time so I really enjoyed the hunt for the perfect outfit. This mission was accomplished.

On Wednesday my good friend Alli drove out to see us in San Antonio. She was visiting her in-laws in Houston for the week and decided she would make the drive to San Antonio. I was so excited to spend time with her and her son Dallin. Brayden and Dallin are second cousins (Jake and Jeff are cousins) and they are exactly eight weeks apart. They were delivered in the same hospital room and Alli and I watched each other give birth. Brayden and Dallin I feel will always have a special connection. We shopped together, stayed up late watching American Idol, and watched our boys play. It was a lot of fun. On Thursday we took the boys to JC Penny and had their pictures taken. We got some good shots of them together and separate. I had so much fun this week. It reminded me of how much I miss so many of my friends and family in AZ. I am starting to make friends here in San Antonio and I feel with time my life will get easier here. I know the Lord has a purpose for us moving out here. If anything it has made me a stronger person.
