Drillcation in Round Rock, TX

Every chance we get to tag along with Jake for drill with the National Guard, WE DO!

We love the hotel (that he has to get anyway), the food, the fun, the road trip stops, the pool, and most of all BEING TOGETHER.

Jake's entire Army career I have done all that I can to be where he is when the Army sends him somewhere. I love US and anything I can do to be US.

Even if it requires a little more work and can be seen as inconvenient to some.

I also love any excuse to "live everywhere you live like a tourist"

(my own personal motto)

Jake has changed units, so now we will get to explore a whole other city, yay!

The kids love that this is "dinner" when we travel through Texas.

Cheering Daddy on for his early morning PT test.

Mali Su was so happy she made it across the entire hotel pool underwater, way to go!

Oysters and ATOMIC horseradish for all!

I love the boudin kolaches and Dr. Pepper.

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!
