Mother's Day

This year I had an amazing Mother's Day! Neal and Cami did such a good job! We spent Saturday morning at the Dallas Arboretum. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather to be outside! I could spend every weekend at the Arboretum and never get tired of it! The rest of the day was spent eating out and napping :) On Sunday I slept in and woke up to home-made breakfast in bed! Neal had taken Cami earlier in the week to a pottery place where she decorated a vase with her hand prints as a gift for me. It's priceless! We then spent the day at my parents celebrating and eating lots of food! It was perfect! Being a mother is such a hard, tiring, challenging job. It is non-stop without a brake and I am always questioning if I am doing it right. BUT, it is the most rewarding and precious job I will ever! I am truly thankful for my precious baby girl and am honored to be her mommy!

San Antonio

Neal and I went to San Antonio to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary in April. This was our first trip away from Cami so I was a little nervous that we (really just myself) would miss her too much to enjoy it. Well, I was wrong! Don't get me wrong, I missed her and thought about her the whole time, but I did not miss a thing about being responsible for another person! We slept late, stayed out late, and drank lots of margaritas! It was SO relaxing and fun! We plan to go to San Antonio and have more child-free weekends more often! The first day we went to Sea World! The Shamu show was awesome! You don't realize how huge a whale is until you see it up close. I got tears in my eyes, it was that incredible!

The seals were adorable. It's as if

he was smiling for the camera:)

Checking out the River Walk during the day...

This bridge is famous! It has something to do with Selina. We heard people talking about it, but I am not too familiar with Selina. Apparently, everyone else there is, though ;)

This is the River Walk in front of our hotel. They do over 100 weddings a year on that little island with the tree...so romantic!

It's hard to believe Neal and I have been married 5 years! We met almost 11 years ago when we were just kids. I was 19 and he was 21! We have done a lot of growing together, sharing the good times and the not-so-good times. I am so proud to be married to such a wonderful, caring, thoughtful, romantic, hard-working husband. Neal makes me the happiest woman alive!!
