New Paint

Well we finally finished our bathroom. We decided about 4 months ago that we would rip down the old wall paper and replace it with a fresh coat of paint. Well the wall paper took longer and was harder to get down than we had planned and since Heidi and I are great procrastinators it took us only 4 months to complete the job. Here are before and after pictures.

AA - this blog is for you

Last weekend was crazy busy with Interfaith, going to see my college friend Lindsay Holman get married in Austin and then a drive back to Frisco for a lunch honoring our Niece Audry's baby dedication, then to Heidi's folks house for pie! It was a great time espically the wedding minus the fact that I was put on BLAST my another college friend Alice Ann for not updating my blog enough. Something about that she was tired of reading about the TSO; so now I update more often. (Alice Ann, this blogs for you . Now you need to get on Facebook like the rest of the free world.)

We are super cool

1st Anniversary

This past weekend Heidi and I celebrated our 1st Aniversary. I was told in a round about way that Heidi was expecting me to surprise her for our anniversary so I had to put my game face on and figure out what we were going to do. So we started the day out with breakfast at Café Brazil and then went so see Wolverine (this is what we did the day after we got married) then we went out to lunch at Mia’s and then headed out to Ft Worth to stay at a bed & breakfast called Lockheart & Gables. On Sunday we went and had dinner with Heidi folks where her wonderful mother made us a topper us. We sure do like some cake. Attached are some pictures of our weekend. We look forward to many, many, more anniversaries!!

1st breakfast as newly weds!

Romantic Bed & Breakfast

It was a really good breakfast

After one year we are still in love

Flying Dogs

This weekend Heidi and I went to the Dallas Disc and Dog to check out the frisbee dogs. Most of the dogs were either Border Collies or Aussies. We hoped that Lilly might pick up a couple of of ideas but she just ended up sleeping behind us. It was really windy and we forgot our chairs so we did not stay log but still had a good time.

Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose of Texas

That I am going to see

No other soldier knows her

No soldier, only me.

She cried so when I left her

It like to broke my heart

And if I ever find her

We never more will part.

Yep - we got ourselve a Yellow Rose in the front yard. Hopefully more will come along but for now...Enjoy

Easter Weekend

Last weekend we went down to the farm to celebrate Easter with my dad's dad side of the family. We roatate every year celebrating Easter in Louisiana and Texas; this year was Texas. We also got a change to see our friends in Houston and catch up on all the baby info and Heidi got her baby fix with Paul & Abby's baby Reese and Vim and Sarah baby Vim. It was a great time and we even got a little rain!!! We are suffering a drought at the farm so we will take all the rain we can get. One of the best parts of going down to the farm in the spring is that all the bluebonnets are out. Here are a couple of pics from some bluebonnet patches a couple miles away from the farm. Hope you enjoy.

Not a lake

BLUES!

More Bluebonnets

You know your from Texas - one for me, one for my wife

Sometimes it just takes to much effort to stand.

TSO

That is short for the Trans Siberian Orchestra for those of you who are not in the know. So now you know and knowing is half the battle; I think the other half is winning but don’t know what we are fighting for so I am politely moving on.

Two weeks ago Heidi and I went to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra with her folks at the AAC and had a great time. I have never seen them in concert but heard, just like everyone else, their songs being played especially around Christmas. If you get the chance to go see them live I would highly recommend it as well as I would recommend that you read what my mother-in-law wrote about the concert (she uses them words more better than me). Enjoy and then go book tickets to see TSO and hopefully you will hear their "Christmas Eve" story.
