More pics

My parents celebrated their 33rd Anniversary last Friday.....Cheers! Congratulations Mom and Dad!






Ft. Worth Stock Show

This year we decided to go to the Stock Show early so we could see all the animals. Last year we went to the Stock Show the last weekend it was open and there were maybe 5 cows and that was it. BUT this year, oh my goodness, there were cows, pigs, goats, rabbits, horses, and everything in between! It was awesome!



This is after we walked around for several hours....I was tired!


This guy was in the petting zoo and I'm not sure what it is but the poor thing had buck teeth and looked terrible! So, I had to get a picture.


Lee loves donkeys so this is for him.


Baby goats are so cute!






Ok, the pigs were hilarious! This one is gnawing on another pigs ear in this picture. I wish I could have gotten video of it, it was so funny!

Lee's New Scarf

These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago but I am just getting them up here. This was a birthday party we went to and got a couple of good pictures. I also wanted to post these so Meredith could see that Lee is wearing his new scarf!

Cinderella

This is something I have wanted to write for a while and for those of you who don't know, this is how Lee and I met.


I waited a long time, through many, many bad dates and single days, to find my best friend, fall in love and be the happiest I’ve ever been. I loved my single days and the girlfriends that I shared them with. I loved that I traveled and lived overseas while I was single. It was an experience I'll never forget and helped me in so many ways to grow up and grow into the person I am now. I was undecided about moving back to the Dallas area after I had been gone for so long but I did have a job here and that was most important at the time:) Mom flew out to Florida and helped me pack my car up (we couldn't see out the back) and we headed back to Texas. I only had about 5 days off before my job in Frisco started. I didn't have a place to live yet so my dear friend Amy (and her husband Chris) let me be their roommie for a month until I moved into my apartment. I was trying to figure out my job and get thru the challenging stage of being new at the office but also being new back in Dallas. I didn't have that many friends here but did manage to get out and meet some people. I had a great summer (2006) with Amanda, Tina, Sally and several other single girls that helped me find my way back into feeling as if I belonged here. Then one night in August I was at a bar (Pour House to be exact) and I saw my friend Sally talking to this really tall, gorgeous guy and I immediately made my way over there and introduced myself!! His name was Lee and I thought he was awesome....but he was playing baseball in Arizona. I didn't want to set myself up for a whole lot of heartache so we talked every once in a while but that was it. Then December came and I decided to invite him to a Christmas party (a little out of the blue) and he happened to be in Vegas at the time so, of course, he couldn't make the party but from then on we started talking more and more. I also found out that he was staying in Ft. Worth to play baseball. Well, that was two years ago and we now live together and share the best relationship that two people could. We are in love, we argue, we make up, we kiss, we hold hands, we laugh until we cry and we just cry, we are best friends! I want to say that he was worth waiting for and I wouldn't do anything differently. He is wonderful and he makes me feel like Cinderella!

Weekend Pics

These are just a couple of pictures I took Saturday night. Heather's little sister turned 21 so we went out to help her celebrate.

I think this is such a good picture!

Christmas in Tyler and Lindale

Wow, has it been forever since I posted! I have a few pictures from Christmas that I am posting but I didn't take as many as I should have. My mom got a new camera and I'm waiting on her to send me the pictures from that but otherwise this is all I got! :) Lee and I did have a wonderful Christmas this year. We spent it in Tyler with my family and then headed to Lindale to spend the weekend with his mom's side of the family for their Christmas.

Here is Mom with her new camera Christmas morning.

Lee with his new scarf from Meredith.


These are the pictures from Lindale and this is Lacey with her boyfriend Garret.
