Temple Trips

Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks!

We went up to Houston two Fridays ago and stayed with James' brother Andy and his wife Susan. It was fun to see their new house. I can't imagine actually owning a house, it seems so far away. Saturday James and I went to the Houston temple together. It was sooo nice to go and feel the peace that is there.

I love the Houston temple...I haven't been there for two and a half years! I think it is so beautiful...and it is great to take pictures in front of!

Saturday afternoon, we drove to College Station for a b-day party for one of our nephews. It was at Chuck E Cheese, and we had a pretty good time. This guy that James and I used to work with at Whataburger now works there. We ALWAYS see people we know from Whataburger everywhere we go, it seems. :) Sunday our little niece was blessed in church. She is so small and cute...and quiet. All she does is sleep, really. She looked pretty in her white dress, white shoes, and white bow! We took a group picture of all of us, but I don't have a copy of that yet.

Tuesday we took some of the youth from church to the San Antonio temple for a temple trip. It was a really good experience, and I was glad that both James and I were able to go. We had a lot of fun!

In other news...we moved this weekend! Not anywhere far, just to a bigger apartment in the same complex. We got most of the moving done on Saturday, my mom came to help and she was able to put a lot of stuff away while it was getting moved in. It made SUCH a big difference! We LOVE our new apartment! The layout is so much better and we have a lot more storage. It just feels so much more like "home" than our old apartment. I will take some pictures when we get everything put away.

We will be going to Utah from July 2nd-July 7th...so we will be getting ready for that trip this week. I am really excited!

Picture Update

Here are some pictures of us at the Corpus Christi State Aquarium from a month or two ago. It was pretty fun, and we got to go for free because it was "family fun day," and University students and employees got to go for free...so that was pretty sweet.
James looks so cute.
This is the Lexington...it is pretty neat to take a tour through it. I have gone several times, but it has been a few years. Anyone who visits Corpus should check it out.
This picture is hilarious to me...every time I would put my purse down next to the glass, the otter would go CRAZY and keep batting at my purse through the glass continually until I picked my purse up. They were so cute.This was a really cool dolphin show at the Aquarium.

I found some pictures that I forgot that I had! Here is me getting my makeup done on my wedding day. She also did my hair for my wedding day. She did a wonderful job...although I did NOT enjoy having someone else put makeup on me. I felt like I was going to get my eye poked out. I thought these pictures were kind of funny though.

This is part of our little "Newlywed Barbeque" that we had in Kingsville. I took a picture of our little guestbook table and our table center pieces. I realized that we didn't get any pictures of James and I, but that's okay.
