Picture/Life Update

I can't believe it's March!! Holy crap, where did the last few months go?! Well basketball season has come and gone (for me) and I'm PUMPED for March Madness to begin. It's definitely my favorite time of year, even over Christmas haha. Alex and I have both been very busy. He has been gone a lot for work, a week here and a week there. I get to stay home and work lots of baseball games and take care of the dog :) Also, I've been preparing the dance team that I coach for a competition that we just returned from in Dallas. We took first in our division! It was a lot of fun.

Right now Alex and I are preparing for the completion of our backyard. We finally decided to hire a sprinkler guy and a landscaper to just get it all done. I am SO DONE with a muddy dog every time she comes in from outside. It will be so nice to finally look out the back door and see GRASS! YAY!!!! Wedding plans are also coming along and we are down to about 100 days on the countdown, crazy!

Well that's what is going on with us :) Some pics below...

And it begins...

Spring sports are here and that means my days and nights will be spent at countless softball and baseball games for the next 3 months. Makes it hard to keep up with school, the house, laundry, etc. I'm just waiting for the middle of May to show up...

Wedding Plans and Puppies :)

Well the wedding plans are coming along quite nicely. When I was home for Christmas, my mom and I got A LOT done in 5 days. Stuff that should have taken like 3 months to do have just trucked right along. I have a dress, booked the reception venue, flowers, photographer, caterer and rented all the things we need to rent. We picked our invitations and centerpieces. Its been really great and fun!

We also have some fun news :) We got a PUPPY! She's oh so very cute and her name is Gabby. She's a 12 week old Shepard mix and we love her to pieces.

I am so excited! Today is our 4th anniversary so it was just perfect timing. Alex is so wonderful and I can't wait to marry him :)

Thanksgiving in Denton

This year for Thanksgiving because I couldn't be home with my family I wanted to go see my Denton family so Alex and I made the treck across Texas to be there for the weekend and spend the holiday at the Batchelder's (my old boss, his wife (and my friend) Jenn and kids). I left NM on Tuesday afternoon and arrived mid evening that day and Alex flew in on Wednesday because he had to stay for work related business.

It was so great to see everyone! I got to attend a couple Mean Green basketball games and see people I worked with and hung out as well as some of my favorite donors and other friends. We had drinks with some staff of Wednesday night after the women's game and it was really nice to catch up with Mandy, Sarah, etc. On Thursday we spent the day hanging out and obviously eating. We also took some pictures. I told Jenn I would take their family pictures and the weather was so nice so we let the turkey cook and went a park. It was fun!

On Friday morning Jenn and I got up at 3:45 am and went out with all the crazies to do some shopping. It was definitely an experience but I did get a lot done and got some great deal! Pretty much done shopping except for 1 person and few odds and ends. Yay me!

Here are some pictures from the weekend along with some of the pictures I took.
