Life is great!

Well, my in laws have all gone and now I am left home alone. My husband had the lesson at Normandy Terrace (nursing home we support) today and will return later. Sherry and Chad were still here and I didn't want to leave them. It has been one wonderful weekend. We started Friday night with a trip to the DiBiass' home with 13 of the youth. That is our biggest group that we have had in a while and it was exciting to have some new faces. We have moved our Youth Nights to Friday's. Two reasons; Karl plays softball on Tuesday's and it is easier on the parents and kids as far as getting up the next morning for school/work. Friday's are working well for us.
Cindy, Johnny, Chad and Sherry all met us at the DiBiass' house Friday night and we stayed there and played games with all of the youth until 11pm or so. We really had a great time. Spoons is a great game! Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast, fixed lunch and then took a strole to downtown and walked down the Riverwalk. Johnny and Cindy bought us tickets to go on the boat tour and it is very informative. We have lived here for and year and that was a first for us. It was relaxing and a little cool. We ate supper on the Riverwalk at Rio Cafe and headed home. Chad, Sherry, Karl and I played games until 1am this morning.
We came home, had lunch after church and then they all up and left. I am really glad that they all came down. I appreciate them for the thought and the birthday gifts. Karl got some really cool antique stuff from his family and I got two more charms for my charm braclet.
I have recieved a call from everyone in my family. Funny how everyone that has called has had their own version of "Happy Birthday". Ashley called from her cell phone from Granny's and we listened to the Zant version of ....whatever it is that we call that song! I told them that it is much more fun to be on the singing end then the reciveing end. My cell phone speaker maxed out a couple of times. They all sang and I can't get that noise out of my head. It does make me smile.
Anyway, my husband will be home shortly and I need to get ready for church. We have Bible Time tonight and I have some planning to do. Love you all and thank you for the phone calls, cards and wishes. Thank most of you for the songs, and Granny's bunch; well...Thanks?

You're cool if you blog...

I have moved back home to San Antonio to live with my husband again. I know that doesn't sound the best, but it's the way they happened. I headed up north with the intentions of my husband joining me later, God did not see it that way. He changed our plans and I painfully had to leave my wonderful, favorite, care giving middle sister and her patient, loving husband. Not to mention that it was hard to tear myslef away from my active, smart, handsome nephew. He had grown to love and appreciate his FAVORTIE Aunt Andrea, but not as much as I had grown to love having him around. Braxton was fun to play with and pester.

Karl's boss offered to keep him here and he is loving life. He works side by side with another Aggie and enjoys his position as Bexar Met Water Efficiency Coordinator. Not real sure what he does, but he is happy with his job.

I started working at SWBC in the Human Resource Department on Tuesday (2-21). I am busy learning all about payroll and the functions there in. SWBC (Southwest Business Corp.) is a great company to work for. The HR Dept there is wonderful and sometimes I feel like I am the grouchy one. Everyone, has such a positive and wonderful attitude. They are truly good people to be around and it is a great environment for me (mostly women....you probably already figured that out).

Karl went to his first rodeo last weekend. It was really funny to watch him and see his reactions. We talked about going the weekend that Tia y Tio Perez' came down and Karl had asked me, 'who is performing?'. I told him that it really didn't matter, we were going to see the rodeo. Montgomermy Gentry happened to be there on the Saturday night that we went and they were pretty good. My favorite part of the rodeo was the calf scramble....Holds a warm place in my heart. Anyway, Karl had thought that just one sport would perform all night. He was happy to know that all of the sports performed nightly. We got to see bronc riding, bull riding, horse back riding, team and individual roping, barrels and steer rusteling. It was a good show.

I will see if I can get some more info on here later. Karl's family is coming into town for our b-day's this weekend and the house needs to be cleaned!

I will leave you one very random picture...

San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo

Karl and I have had a wild week. Granny, Papa, Zach and Craig all came down for the sheep show and they stayed with us. It was awesome. Zach did not do as well as expected but it is the judges' day and the judges' dollar. I didn't agree with him on one decision that he made but oh well. Tonigt we are taking the Ventura Youth Group out to the SALE to look around. They are so pumped about it.
