Mardi Gras

Kevin and I went to New Orleans to experience our first Mardi Gras with my parents. We got to see all the awesome parades and witness the massive crowds! We had a blast and can't wait for next year!

"A Weekend to Remember"

Kevin's cousins John and Kathy sent us on a weekend retreat as a wedding gift. The Family Life organization hosts a conference title "A Weekend to Remember." It's a Christian marriage conference. We stayed in the Gaylord Texas Resort in Dallas and spent the weekend listening to amazing speakers. We had an awesome time and would recommend this to all our married friends! Kevin and I really enjoyed the time we got to spend together and feel so blessed to have had this experience! Thank you Kathy and John for giving us this opportunity! It was truly the best gift you can give a couple! We look forward to attending it again in the future!

Grandma and Grandpa Phillip's visit

My Grandma and Grandpa Phillip came down to Texas for 2 weeks to visit and escape the cold weather in Iowa. We were so excited that they came and spent a weekend with us in Brenham. We went shopping, out to dinner and spent time playing games at the house. It was my Grandpa's birthday while they were here, so we had a party one evening. We had so much fun having company at our house, and can't wait for them to come back soon!
