Back in the game...

Back to the real world (not the mtv show). Today has been a whirlwind, and the first time I have been able to sit down at my desk for an extended period of time. It has just been crazy since I was off last week and I am only at work Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I am off to drive with Ambre to Florida. She is the new fitness coordinator for the University of Florida, so I am making the mini cross-country trip with her. I am so thankful because I left WONDERFUL Texas weather for FrEEzInG weather of Arkansas, but will soon be in warm Florida weather.

Ambre and I
But quick recap, my Spring Break trip was AWESOME! Even the 8, yes EIGHT hour car ride from Austin to Dallas on Sunday. James and I got to relax, he golfed, we shopped and ATE so much.

James' first ever kolache! So we had to do it right at the Czech Stop.
As soon as we got into Austin I had to show James around campus. So we toured Gregory, I took him to Tyler's and showed him where I used to hang out in between classes (especially when Kel was at Texas with me, it was our spot).
Back to the Tower, looking out over the 6 pack, BOGA to the Capitol.
I had fun dragging James all over the place and showing him what was my home for so long. We finished off a perfect day at Cain & Abel's on the lake. Where I got a shirt that said Get Burnt =) and James tried his first Texas Tea.


A little dark

And of course we stopped at Sno Beach..

Then Sunday we were up and at church, where I got to see my cousin and his wife. Then to the UT-K.State baseball game...


Then we started on the 8 hour trek home, with a stop in Waco for dinner with Neugs =). She showed us around Baylor law, and not only is it BEAUTIFUL, the classrooms are super intimidating.

Finally after making it back to Dallas, we just chilled with my 'rents and had a blast, and were spoiled beyond belief. Then we headed up to Tish to see Mamaw, which was so much fun seeing her and catching up. Not to mention we had fresh bread and homemade potato soup. YUM. Then we headed off to Cabot to hang with James' family. Needless to say when we reach Cabot in shorts and it was 40 degrees we were COLD. So we watched movies and hung out around the house. We also got to hang out with his sister, Jayme and her husband.  Jayme and I made a cake and homemade salsa for dinner one night, it was wonderful.

Jayme, Jim and I.
I think James' was the most excited to see Fuji.

Then we were back to Faytown to get ready for school, work and my trip to Florida. I just want to thank everyone who helped make our Spring Break so special. It was a relaxing and great last Spring Break. Also hi to all our friends who we didn't get to see because they were in fun places also (ahem Ken =)  ) or didn't have the same Spring Break as us. =(

I cannot wait till we see everybody again and hopefully I will be back to writing regularly, but maybe not when I am relaxing in the beautiful Florida weather, and it BETTER be gorgeous while I am there.

love love LOVE yall
