4 Wonderful Years...

On June 25th, 2009, Bill and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. I cannot believe how quickly the time flies by. This year, Bill planned an amazing trip! We traveled to Miami, FL and then drove 15 minutes to our resort at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne! The Ritz truly knows how to treat you like royalty. Bill's romantic surprises? Rose pedal turn down, chocolate covered strawberries, private cabana on the beach, candles and roses at dinner, and spa treatments... such an amazing guy! I am truly blessed to be married to my best friend and soul mate!

Welcome to Paradise!

Anniversary Dinner...

Beautifully 90!

Tonight we celebrated Bill's grandmother, Margaret Couch's 90th birthday at the Houston Country Club... I can only hope to look this good at 90! Ellen came in for the occasion and the 4 of us had a lovely dinner before Bill and I rushed home to pack for our Florida trip for our 4 year anniversary! Ellen agreed to watch our little man, Tucker for the weekend... cannot thank her enough!

Note to chef... there should be an age limit on trick candles!

Future Mr. & Mrs. Ladd Williams!

Alisa and Ladd are engaged!!! Last night we went to Pronto to celebrate the newly engaged couple. It was really great to see everyone. Amelia and Jeremy had just gotten back from thier honeymoon and little Noah has already grown so much... I cannot believe how fast time flies when you are having fun!

We are so excited for Alisa and Ladd and look forward to their wedding. Alisa is going to make one beautiful bride!

a Dog, a Graduate and a Birthday!

What a jam packed weekend! Tucker, our sweet little pug, had to be taken to Texas A&M to be seen for what we believe is a severe inner ear infection. The poor little guy has vertigo and appears as though he is drunk. We are hopeful that a week of antibiotics should do the trick, but if not... we will have to undergo the expensive MRI.

After 6 1/2 hours at the vet, Bill picked me up and we drove to San Antonio to celebrate Steven's (my brother) college graduation and my father's birthday and Father's Day. We had a great time with the family! Nothing like BBQ and a nice dip in the pool!

Happy Birthday Sue Ellen!

Monday we celebrated Sue Ellen's 26th birthday at La Vista! I had never noticed this place even though I had been in that shopping center a million times to get my nails done... what a wonderful surprise! It was really great to see the girls and catch up as our schedules have been pretty crazy lately! Cheers to another great year Sue Ellen!

Caroline & Fred's Wedding Shower

Saturday night Bill and I attended a wedding shower for Caroline Harper and Fred Knapp. It was really great to catch up with a few blasts from the past! Caroline was a beautiful bride-to-be and I know that their wedding will be just as lovely! Congrats to the happy couple!

Bill and Neal found themselves re-living the high school football days... How do you still remember play-by-plays?
I believe that we might have another picture like this from the lifeguards at the Corsicana Country Club! (Ellen, Candace, me, Leslie)
