Birthday Celebration in College Station!

Last Friday, Kyle and I went to his parents house for the night because I had a job fair to go to in Katy early the next morning. Kyle's parents live pretty close to Katy so I thought it would be easier staying the night over there. The job fair was SOO crowded! I would say there were probably over 500 people there. Katy ISD has 35 elementary schools and I maybe got to talk to 6 of them. The lines were so long!!! I was happy I was able to get a few "mini interviews" with the new schools that are opening up this next school year. I'm crossing my fingers I hear something soon!

On Saturday, Kimberly and Caitlin came to College Station to celebrate my birthday with me! It seems like I have been celebrating my birthday for a month now! Haha! Caitlin's fiance, Matt also came so they could take their engagement pictures! They decided to take them in College Station since they both went to A&M. I can't wait to see their pictures!

We went to Los Cucos for dinner. Where else would we go? LOL. Then, we went back to Matt's house for cake! Kimberly had the cutest leopard birthday cake made for me! Afterwards, we went out to Northgate for some drinks.

Kimberly and I always used to read this book when we were younger - I'll have to put it in my classroom library! 

Kimberly gave me a beach bag full of things I can use for this summer - a beach towel, sun tan lotion, beach towel clips, a magazine, a cover-up, and Reese's Puffs (our favorite summer cereal!) I thought it was such a cute idea!

LOVE my cake! 25 percent of the cake was missing!!! I thought it was so creative!

Here is the missing piece of the cake!

I had a fun night! Thank y'all so much for helping me celebrate! We missed you Kristan!

It's My 25th Birthday!!!

Today, I celebrated my 25th Birthday! I'm officially a member of the quarter of a century club! We took our kids to the park this morning since the older kids were taking the STARR test. We had a fun day! This afternoon, they had a little birthday celebration for me. I thought that was so sweet.

Kyle told me a couple days ago that he had dinner reservations for us at an Italian restaurant in Bryan for tonight. As we were driving to the restaurant, he pulled into the parking lot of The Republic Steakhouse, where I have been wanting to go forever! It was a nice surprise! : ) The steak we ordered was probably one of the best steaks I have ever had! It was so good!

Kyle gave me this pearl necklace from James Avery. I think it is so pretty and simple!

I had such a great 25th birthday! I'm so excited to celebrate again this coming weekend with all my friends!!!

Early Birthday Celebration and Vegas!!!

I went home for the weekend to have an early birthday celebration with my parents! My actual birthday isn't till Tuesday. Kyle and my dad went fishing on Friday so he also stayed the weekend. After they got back from their fishing trip, we went to eat at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants! I have sure been craving some 7 Leguas chips and salsa!

Yesterday, my mom took me to get a manicure/pedicure and then last night we went to eat dinner on the river walk. It was also my parents 33rd wedding anniversary! : ) I had a fun weekend celebrating my birthday with my family! 

33 years of Wedded Bliss! Haha! 

Kyle's family is going to Vegas in July for vacation and they asked me to go with them. I didn't think I would be able to go because I really can't afford the airline tickets right now. My parents surprised me with the airline tickets for my birthday! It's been awhile since I have been to Vegas! I went for my 21st birthday about four years ago...I'm SOO excited to go again! : )

Hope y'all had a great weekend!

Summer Is Almost Here!

I miss the beach! I took this picture while we were in Florida. I'm already countin' down till summer break! About 6 more weeks left to go! :) This week we started kindergarten transition. This is when our kids go and visit a kindergarten classroom twice a week for about 30 min. They are loving it! It already feels like summer here in Texas. It has been so warm! I hope y'all are doing good! I promise to be a better blogger this next week! ♥

Lake Charles, LA Casino Trip!

Last Thursday, my parents decided to take a trip to Lake Charles and I decided to tag along! We left after my mom and I got off work. There is something about going to the casino that I just love! It was packed at the place we were staying at because it was Spring Break week. I was proud of my winnings on the craps table! : ) My mom also won again playing poker. She is becoming a pro!

Friday morning, Kyle drove in after he got off work! We mostly just hung out by the pool. That night there was a band playing out by the pool that we listened to. They played mostly 80's music. The band was actually pretty good!  I ended up losing some of the money I won the night before. :/ Oh well, at least we had a good time!

Hope y'all have a great evening! Is it Friday yet?

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! It has been a nice weekend! Today, we went over to my grandparents house for Easter. We had chicken and dumplings for lunch. It was good seeing everyone and catching up! : )

Yup...I'm 24 and still get an Easter basket! Haha

 My favorite!

Me and my dad

Me and my mom

Happy Easter everyone!!! : )
