The Best Week Ever!

I went to Frontier Ranch this past week and it was incredibly awesome. Although we had to take a bus all the way to Buena Vista, Colorado, the experience was awesome. It was amazing to be in the mountains in the middle of July. The weather was cool and even a little chilly at night. The stars were glowing at night and everything was glorious. It was so nice to see the glory of God all around us.

We had the opportunity to do a number of things you are not able to do on a normal basis. We got to do a ropes course that involved a zip line, jumping for a trapeeze, and a number of other high elements. We also went repeling off the side of a cliff on the top of the mountains. One morning we woke up early and rode horses. We followed a trail to a spot where some of the wranglers were cooking us breakfast. It was so peaceful to sit in the wilderness and eat some delicious food. We also woke up one morning and rode some ridge runners, which are like totally awesome go-karts.

Besides being constantly busy with everything, it was so relaxing. I was able to enojoy myself while being closer to God then ever. I love it at Frontier and I am so sad to be back. Back to the real world. Back to work. And back to the ridiculous humidity of Houston. I am happy to be back so I can hang out wiith Billy. He starts football on Sunday, so I will not be able to see him very much for the next few months.

We are planning on registering this weekend at a couple stores, since we will not have any other time soon. We are also working on booking a photographer and florist this week. Once we have those things taken care of, we should be okay for a little while. We still have 8 months, so we have plenty of time to work out the details. I am getting so excited to plan more of the wedding details, but once football season is here, I will be in game mode. Time to watch UH and A&M games, and work Texans games. I love football season and I am definitely looking forward to it.

Please pray for a successful week deciding on vendors for the wedding. Also for a successful football season for Billy with no injuries. We appreciate each one of you!

Bridal Extravaganza!

The BE is this weekend in Houston and I am excited! Me, my mom, Billy, Lauren, and Michelle are all going so we can cover some ground fast. I am still looking for most of my vendors, so hopefully I can get some great deals and maybe even win a free something or other!

Immediately after the BE I will be heading to get on a bus headed toward Colorado. I am going to Frontier camp with Young Life and will return the following Sunday. I am so excited, because I love being in Colorado at camp. It is a beautiful place where we are able to share God with everyone while having a great time. Please pray for a safe journey for all the buses as well as changed lives next week!

Also travelling this week are the BPs. They leave Sunday to fly to Kyrgystan to meet their precious boy! It is going to be a very emotional trip for them, but one with much joy. Please keep both Bryan and Betsy in your prayers for their safe travels as well as a peace as they have to leave their precious boy at the end of the week. Also pray for their baby, that he is in good health and ready to become part of the family.

This week is going to be amazing on so many level so please check back next weekend as we all return back to Texas with news of our travels!
