The Merry Month of May

This was the month that my sisters Kelsey and Andrea came to visit! From the pictures it looks like all we did was eat delicious food, make delicious food, and shop. I promise we did more.... didn't we? I'm not actually so sure anymore. But either way, we had a great time. This was also the month of Glen's Birthday. Here are some pictures:

Today.

After a long summer break of not blogging, I am back. You know the story: life gets busy, time gets away from you, and somehow you forget to blog. And then when you finally get time, you realize that if you are going to tell all your stories, then you should probably share your pictures too, but that means you must find your camera and take the time to upload. But that's not all! Because you also realize the last few blogs you had promised to post pictures in your next post. And then you get overwhelmed and choose it's probably best to go get another snack-size bag of cheez-itz and watch another episode of "I Survived" or "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" on Don and Leslie's huge TV that has Cable.

But we're back in Austin, Glen started school, and I am enjoying my free time so I am going to catch up! It will take a few posts, but I'll get there! I decided to update by months, so that's how it will go! Check back tomorrow!

And for your entertainment, check out some of these photos. Sometimes after Glen has smiled a lot, he has trouble smiling for pictures. Here are a series of pictures where we keep trying to get his face to look normal, but it just doesn't. We even turn different directions. It also doesn't help that he had a lazy eye as a child and sometimes it comes back. I laugh out loud every time I look at these pictures:

Can't Escape the Heat

Hello friends!!

I am still alive! Just busy havin' fun with friends and family!

Here are some notable happenings since my last post:

1. Kelsey and Andrea came for a week long visit! We had some darn-good food and a lot of good times. And of course, lots of shopping! I've really missed my sisters since I moved and I'm glad we were able to spend time together. I hope Lydia and Chris make it out for a visit soon too!

2. Glen turned 25! We had quite the celebration. We told the waiters at every restaurant we went to while my sisters were here that we were celebrating his birthday. That meant lots of dessert! And that doesn't even include the times we went and got our own dessert. Round Rock Donuts 3 times!! MMmm Mm good. I got Glen a couple of Wii games and a lot of summer clothes. This summer he'll be in Texas for half and Arizona for the other half, so he was in need of some shorts and short sleeved shirts. He also received some nice cards from our grandparents! But the best birthday celebration is the next on this list:

3. Completing his first year of law school! Whew! Glad that's over with! He was really in need of a break, and so was I! Those finals were brutal. But now it's summer and we're happy.

4. Glen started his internship with a Federal Judge in San Antonio. He really loves it and enjoys sitting in the courtroom and learning a lot about the law! He will be sad when it ends.

5. I moved to Arizona for my job! Glen was able to drive out with me and stay the weekend. He will be back to visit every weekend and then he'll move out here with me for the rest of the summer on July 2. Don and Leslie have been more than generous with their home and are letting me stay with them. It is so beautiful! Leslie has done an amazing job decorating it. I love spending time with them. It's nice to have family around.

Well, that's about it! I have pictures to post, but I'll try to get them up later. Have a good weekend!

It's Friday

Hola! It's been forever. And the Friday song has been stuck in my head all day! But anyway, I have some updates:

First of all, Glen is in full-study mode. His first final is next week, and he's been preparing well. Recently, all the 1Ls (first years) had to write a brief (paper) arguing for or against a certain case. They didn't get to decide what side they were on, and this brief counts as their final grade in their Legal Research and Writing class. Last week we found out that Glen got an award for his brief, as it was selected as one of the top 8 best briefs of his whole class! That's over 400 people! We were pretty excited, and I was very proud.

Second, Kelsey and Andrea will be coming to visit me in about 2 weeks! I have lots of fun things planned and I am sure I will gain weight since some of my favorite things in Austin are restaurants.

Thirdly, my job is relocating, and they have invited me to come with them. So, I will be moving to...... ARIZONA! I'm incredibly excited. Why? Well, for many reasons. But mainly, because I will be living with my cousin Leslie! We are going to have such a great time! I'm so blessed to have a cousin that is so willing to take me in for a few weeks so I don't have to find my own place! I bet you're wondering how Glen fits into this plan. Well, Glen will be at his internship in San Antonio, TX for the first part of the summer, and then he will come out to Arizona with me and spend the last half of the summer having the time of his life with me, Leslie, and Don.

That's it for now! I have some pictures of a little day trip Glen and I took a couple of weeks ago but I'll post those later. And don't forget today it is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday afterwards. Thank you, Rebecca Black.
