I Brought My Phone to TEXAS

 Above is the Mobile, Alabama tunnel.  I love when the radio station cuts out because then you know you're officially under water.

We stopped in Louisiana to visit my brother Dillon.

 The company he works for was having a BBQ so I had some boudin, YUM!


 His truck he has paid off, so proud of him!
 We had a girls' night before Marianne got married.  We went to Cheddar's and ordered a bunch of stuff and just shared.  Our bill was $25, I love Cheddar's.

 I met my Dad, his Dad, his sister, and Sheila for breakfast at Waffle House.  I love their pecan waffles and their hash browns with all the toppings.  It was so fun! 

Marianne and I spent the day before her wedding getting all pampered.  Nails, toes, spray tan, and the gym.  She gets her nails painted so I did too, they're quite fun.
 See, spray tan.  Not too bad.
 Marianne turned into bridezilla for about 2 minutes at Kelly's when the clock struck midnight.  Kelly was able to calm her down with a bottle of water.
Breakfast with the ladies from my Mom's side of the family was really fun.  My Nanny brought us some cute jewelry and we just chatted and ate.  Can you tell I love to go out to eat?  I pretty much planned all my visits around food.
 Look at those Kirbow eyes!
 Looks better with sunglasses!  We got a good laugh over that one.

 We swung by my mom's best friend's (Jenna) parents.  We visited with Me Me and PaPaw.   They are the sweetest people you will ever meet.  When I was born I came home from the hospital to their house.
 Kelly is the make-up queen and did some peacock eyes for me and total airbrush quality makeup on the bride.
The wedding was in the backyard of my cousin Melissa's house.  Marianne is my best friend/cousin and I loved all the uninterrupted girl time we had.
 We drove back and had a quick stop off with Delaney, Blake, and Joby at the state line.
 On the way to TX however my Mom pointed out this truck, it just screamed out to be texted to Jake.
Heading into Mobile, AL.
 Another picture with my brother Dillon.
 We did a few 5 minute stops just to say, "HI!" and my PaPaw Kirbow was one of those.  He recently moved his whole horse ranch down the road.  It was a gorgeous spread!
 My darling Nana, I love stopping to see her.  We had donuts together on our way to TX.
 Me and the bride all sweaty as she was leaving.  I'm working on getting real pictures from the wedding because right now I have just a few from my phone.
 Marianne's sister and my cousin Jill, love her.  She's amazing and I think I could talk to her every single day and be inspired and learn something new.
It was a four day trip, 2 driving, 2 in TX but well worth it!

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.  

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
