April

Well, this has been quite an eventful month! Probably the biggest news of the month, is that I am working as close to full time as I did before the kids were born! Several therapists in our hospital network have left (moving, babies, etc), and I am filling in for them. I have absolutely loved working, and am finally getting used to the new work load. Bryon and the kids have helped out so much around the house, and I have much more of an appreciation for working moms!

Here are some Easter pics of the kids. ...

Diva Dash weekend

Last weekend was a wonderful girls' weekend in Austin! Several of us decided to brave a 5K race full of obstacles in the first annual Diva Dash in Austin. Some of us are very athletic, and some of us (me) never exercise. There was lots of (well, some) preparation involved in training for the big race. Here is a picture of us the night before the race. Instead of getting a good night sleep before the event, we stayed out way too late eating a fabulous dinner at La Condesa. Not the best way to prep for a race the next morning, but too much fun to pass up!

We made it! There was lots of running, and quite a bit of walking involved, but we did it!
After a day of shopping at the Dominion on Saturday, we had a fun night in downtown Austin, then capped off the memorable weekend at the Gospel Brunch at Stubbs Barbeque. I'm so blessed by these girls' friendships and look forward to making this an annual event!

JDRF Gala

We had a fun date night a few weeks back at the JDRF Gala at the Anatole in Dallas. We have dear friends, whose daughter was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 11 months old, and we have watched her grow up for the past 12 years with the disease, so it is a cause near and dear to our hearts.

My wonderful friends, Martha Kate, and Sherri. We had a wonderful evening together!

There were a few celebrities at the event. Many former Dallas Cowboy players. The one I was most excited to meet was Lee Roy Jordan, who was one of Bear Bryant's all time favorite Bama players in the early 60s. He was such a sweet heart!

I also met Brett Michaels, who has lived with juvenile diabetes since he was a child.
