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!

Celine Dion Concert

I have always wanted to see Celine Dion live! I love her music and finally had the opportunity to see her here in Houston! We bought the tickets over a year ago, so needless to say we were ready for her show! My mom, Kerri, Hannah(Kerri's roommate) and I had an amazing time at the show. Celine put on an awesome show and we were definitely NOT disappointed! The evening was definitely one to remember!

Louisiana Visit

We went to Louisiana for New Years. We celebrated Christmas with all the family and the boys went on the annual duck hunting trip! It was great to visit with everyone and catch up! We hadn't seen them all since our wedding!

New Year's Eve

We spent New Years Eve in Georgetown with Corey! We had extremely fun, laid back evening!

Christmas

Kevin and I had an amazing first Christmas together! We are so fortunate that both of our families live close by, and we were able to spend time with both of them! We couldn't have asked for a better holiday and looked forward to many more to come!
