I will start with the good stuff...
I took Ryan camping to celebrate his birthday, it was our first Jasper camping trip since we got married and it was so much fun! I bought him all of the camping gear we could possibly need- I definitely felt like a wife walking through Academy asking about fishing hooks and what tent would be the best... Possum Kingdom Lake was just gorgeous!
We took Scout and he had an absolute blast! He spent most of the trip rolling around in the dirt and eating everything in sight... but nevertheless he was in heaven.
We hiked, grilled, went out on a boat (just like the one from the notebook) and I fished for the first time in my life! That's right people. I am 25 and had never been fishing. We didn't catch anything but I still really enjoyed it.
Lindsee came to visit and we had a blast! We spent most of our time just laughing and eating good food :) the things we love most in life!
We took her to the "Stockyards" which is one of my favorite Fort Worth spots for BBQ!
I love my girls!!
The next day we headed to my favorite lunch spot... "The Lunch Box" it precious and could not be more girly. This is us in front of the cute green and yellow windows...
Our party would not be complete without cupcakes so we headed over to the "Cupcake Cottage" and the pink box of goodness became a staple for the rest of our day...
Then we headed to the Fort Worth Water Gardens and picture palooza began! If it's one thing we learned in being in our sorority it was how to take pictures... 100s of them- i LOVE that we can take all these pictures together without judgement. I am only sharing a few of my 76 pictures from our weekend haha
I rode back to Houston with Lindsee to spend some time with my family and Scout came along with us! I recently purchased the most ridiculous thing... a car seat. Yes, for my dog. My reasoning in this purchase is that Scout loves the car. Scout loves to climb on me in the car. Scout almost makes me wreck my car when he decides to jump across the console. Safety first folks... so here he is in his little seat... I love him.
I need to get the pictures from what happened next in our little adventure to Houston... Scout decided to bite his toenail while in his chair and the blood flowed. It was pretty gross. My mommy ways kicked into gear, we pulled over in Huntsville which is ironic and I wrapped his foot in a poop bag. It was all I had and I have to say, paired with my ponytail holder it was pure perfection. I am thinking selling it.
Linds and I went to Chic-Fil-A which we randomly ate on my parent's dining room table and said our sweet goodbyes. I love you so much and had a blast!!
I then spent time with my family, it was sweet Ethan's 5th birthday so we all headed to Chucky Cheese's and it was so fun! Here are a few of my favorite pictures...
Me with my birthday boy! I can not believe he is already 5!!
My Caderoo and I!
Me and my little man Jakers!
My Aunt, Jakers and I :) Love you Zonakay!
Me and my Nana!
After coming back to Fort Worth Ryan and I were given some very sad news about his Grandmother... she passed away earlier this week and it has been pretty hard on his Mom. Ryan was given the honor of doing the service, it was his 1st funeral and quite possibly one of the most emotionally difficult things he has ever had to do. I have to say that I could not have been a prouder wife as God used him to lead his family through all of this. The service was beautiful. Ryan did an absolutely amazing job. On the happier side of things his Mom stayed with us this weekend and today just so happens to be Ryan's 26th birthday. We have been enjoying our time with her and I am so thankful that she decided to stay- I am so lucky to have her as a Mother-in-law. We showed her around our town and despite the difficult circumstances really had a good time together.
Tomorrow we are spending the morning with Ryan's Dad and Step-mom and we are very excited about it! Then, I am taking him to dinner and our friends are coming over for the desert. Pray for me. I am making cake balls for the first time... hopefully they do not turn out to be a disaster! Thanks so much for the recipe Linds!!!
Ok, I am now going to end this incredibly long post... more to come soon because I still have more to tell!

Oh my goodness Jen-I can't believe they make car seats for dogs & you bought one! That is the funniest thing I have ever seen!
You've had quite an adventure the past few weeks. I love you and am so glad I got to visit! It made my soul happy! Probably not as happy as Scout's carseat, however. That's a memory forever etched in my memory.
