Here We Go Again!

So, here we are again, blogging time!  We have had a AWESOME few weeks since my last blog!  We have done a lot.

We went to Fall Creek Farms as mentioned in my last blog.  Amanda had a great time!  After we learned how to pick the strawberries we became pros at being strawberry farmers!  If you have never been I highly suggest you go.  It is really a great time and all age friendly.  Visit their website at http://www.upicktx.com/.

Our freshly picked strawberries

Amanda enjoying some berries right off the vine!

All done...very juicy!  Notice our messy hands and face!

Amanda finally got her picture next to the "big strawberry"

After our morning of strawberry picking was over we made the trek to the Fort Worth Zoo.  We saw the west side of the zoo, opting to leave after only seeing half the zoo.  It was extremely crowded, hot and we were just plain tired!

My parent's bathroom project is ALMOST finished!  One Sunday we got all the staples out, the toilet pulled and the inner tile of the bathroom laid down.  We finished it up this weekend with getting the hall tile laid down and the outer tile pieces cut and laid.  We got two thresholds in as well.  I am really excited at the progress we made and the difference in the way that it looks!  I think my mom and dad are happy too.  Next, Mom and I are going to tackle the pool.  After that, who knows! 

Saturday (the 16th) was a big day as well!  Amanda went to the Southside's annual Easter Egg Hunt.  I dropped her off with Nana and DanDad and they went to that while Staci (Justin's youngest sister) and I went into Fort Worth!  I was super excited that she accepted my invite.  I had a really awesome time just getting to hang out with her again and chat it up.  She even said she would LOVE to do it again.  I am so happy that despite all the things that Justin and I have been through his family is is still an important part of my life....that really means a lot.

We also drove to Austin for Mike's friends housewarming party.  It was a long trip, but we had a great time.  The host and hostess (M & J) threw most of the guest a curve ball by getting MARRIED!  Yep, M got up and made an announcement that they knew we were expecting them to make a big announcement, and they were making it right then and even going to follow through.  M introduced his pastor and he and J got married right then!  Is that not just the most awesome thing?  Mike and I were completely shocked (as were most guests) and we talked about it all the way home.  Too bad I didn't think of getting re-married that way!  Pretty clever.

I have wind symphony rehearsal tonight.  Our first performance is May 1, 2011 at the Concert on the Lawn.  I am really excited!

I think that is it for now.  Hoping to get Rangers tickets for Friday nights game.  More to come later!
