Hello there friend...

Well it is safe to say I have taken quite a sabbatical from blogging!! I have lots of things I want to say and it will take me a while to get caught up... the two closest women in my life had birthdays while I took my break and I want to dedicate some time for each of them ( My sister and My mother).

But for some brief highlights over the past 3 months...

David and I have taken the next step and placed membership with a local church. This has been a continuous prayer for our relationship. We desired so greatly to find a church home and serve together, begin building relationships with the community, and just laying the foundation together BEFORE we get married! We have just really heard God calling us to make this a priority now.

We have been visiting Park Cities Presbyterian Church or PCPC as we call it for a couple of months and love it.. more on this later!

I must show you the beautiful church! It is not the reason we chose to visit...but it is worth sharing.


The amazing choir at the Christmas concert


I have also been super busy being the Maid of Honor for my dear friends, Kent and Lindsey's wedding in May. I have been going to her showers, throwing them showers, helping them move into their new place. Busy, busy, busy!

I was recently apart of one of my best friend, Melissa's engagement. She will be marrying one of my closest guy friends, Jonathan or Jdub as I know him on November 7th!!! I am so thrilled and excited as I will also be her Maid of Honor!

This is a picture of us girls after we (Maggie, David, and I) surprised her by driving in from Dallas.


David took me to my first ballet ever for Valentine's day... I have seen the Nutcracker but that is the only one. We got to see Swan Lake at Bass Hall in Ft. Worth and I literally had tears roll down my cheek. I have never seen something so beautiful. I went home that night and tried some ballet moves out...and was sore for a week! I miss dancing so much!

Here is a picture of David and I...freezing cold...outside the Bass Hall.


I took a couple days off work to visit my parents in CO and was able to work it out so that Shawna and Kate were there at the same time! :) If I could quit my job and become a full-time auntie, I would. It is such a joy to see Kate grow up and to build a connection with her. She loves her auntie. After she woke up one morning and started playing with me she looked at mommy and said bye bye mommie! I adore her!

This is Kate holding auntie's hand...she did not want to let go!

Watching Elmo with her pink headphones...adorable!



That's it for now...I am sure there is so much more but it will come in waves. I missed everyone.. come back for more!
