Ft. Worth Zoo Trip

So a while back Jas and I went to the Ft. Worth Zoo....We had heard good things about it and thought it would be a fun date idea since we don't make it out to Ft. Worth much. But the sweet thing about this date was that it was a gift from our home group!!! Yea....we pretty much have the best and sweetest home group ever!! They gave me and Jas a check and told us to go on a date night AND they also wrote us encouraging cards and make a little booklet out of it. It was so thoughtful and really meant a lot to us. We feel so honored and humbled to be leading this group. Love you guys so much!! So here are some pics from our date night that was a gift from HG!!


We started the date at Einstein's for some good breakfast carbs!


We drove to Ft. Worth jamming to the Swell Season's Strict Joy album...easily the best of 2010 in mi opinion.


Jas...monkeying around. waaaa waaaa.

Then we finished off the night at dinner at the Reata in downtown ft. worth

Spud the Bud

Just wanted to post some cute pictures we have of our little dude....I'm trying to start the new year off strong in the blogosphere-even if it is just pictures of our dog! enjoy!

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya...

OK, so maybe we didn't go to Aruba, but we did just get back from our cruise in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica. Thanks to my sweet, sweet parents who treated us to this wonderful vacation! Now its back to reality. I keep wondering when Leonardo (our room attendant who cleaned and made our bed everyday) is going to knock on our door and offer to help with the cooking and cleaning! The trip was really relaxing and was filled with lots of eating, laying on the beach, exploring, sleeping, reading, and drinking fruity drinks. It should be a yearly practice to take a relaxing trip like that...

We got back Sunday afternoon, and Monday I was at the grocery store stocking up on food and back to vacuuming and cleaning. It is good to be back home though and we are ready to start this new year! Jason went back to work and school, but I am still waiting to start my internship, so I still have a little more time off. I am not exactly sure when I am going to start. I was hoping to start on Monday, but I don't know if that is going to happen or not. I think I am ready to get back into the groove and get started on my 500 hours so that I can graduate in May!!! I just applied for graduation yesterday, too. That was weird, but exciting!! So here are some pics from the trip for your viewing pleasure...
