My Cup...

Overflows....
Words cannot describe how amazing my friends and family are. I don't deserve them, but they are always there for me. My closest friends threw me a going away party last weekend and it was awesome! I am not a huge fan of being the reason for a party, but it was amazing to see a lot friends before I go. Plus, it wasn't the night before I leave so I wasn't weepy and such! While I did bring my camera, it was charging upstairs for half of the party. I promise to get better about picture taking!!!
Jim and Patricia Welch hosted the party at their AMAZING new house! Those two used to live right across the street from me and it has been awesome to have such good friends so close! Patricia's dad and Jim smoked the BEST BBQ I've ever had! They started it the night before and it was cooked to perfection! Lacy came up from Marble Falls, Megan and Ross came from Midland, Molly and Zach, and Ashlee all helped host the party.
I could write up a play by play, but really. No need. It was simply amazing.
Here are a few photos of me and my nephews. (The nieces were not interested in pictures.)


Sweet Nephew!!

                                      

 

Pierson Everette! (Reagan smiled in the back, but refused to smile with me!)

I love this kid!!

Lacy and Molly stole the camera!

 After all the guests left, we decided we would spend the rest of the evening playing games! There was about a 3 hour game of Nertz (I may be exaggerating, but when your team loses by over 150 pts it seems that long.) We went outside to Jim and P's great backyard and played Redneck Golf and Washers!

Molly, Megan, Zach, and Ross play "Redneck Golf."

 So here is some information you need to know: Molly and Megan are no longer allowed to be on the same team ever again. It's simply unfair. The End. :)

More Redneck Golf

Washers! Sorry Mr. Doug! I guess that game was a warm up.

Mr. Gary is pretty pro at washers! He and Ashlee did great!

Jim and Patricia Welch!
(Their mom had the camera... I know have several "couple" pictures of them! Haha!)

 Later that night we went to Bahama Bucks and had the best snow cones ever! Sadly the place was crazy crowded and the tether ball court was being used.

The next day Jim, Patricia, Ashlee, and I got out on the lake early and went wakeboarding. It was greatness!

Jim got a new wakeboard that he was breaking in.

Captain Patricia!!

 Ash and I on the boat!

 Lacy was getting brave on the wakeboard!

 So was Ashlee! If you look closely, you can see her getting a little air!

Patricia is such a pro!!

That's me getting air!!
Just kidding... I freak out when I even start to get out of the wake!

 It was also my brother, Jared's, 30th birthday!! So I left for the afternoon to spend lunch with the family and my brother!

 Dinner with the bubs!

 My brothers and Macy!

Throwback!

This was Lacy's tiny bathroom in her house from college that was always an adventure to use! You could use the restroom, brush your teeth, and stick your feet in the shower all at the same time!

As Lacy would say,"You kind of have to sit on the toilet sideways... otherwise it's a little awkward."

Jared replied, "Oh really!? Let's just see."

(I actually made that conversation up. I wasn't there when this photo was taken.)

As for now, I am basically just panicing... I mean packing. I have my bags for Korea packed, but after weighing them I have realized that I will have to downsize. If I take 3 bags (one extra bag than allowed for overseas) I refuse to have them over the weight limit!
I will have my clothes and most of my kitchen packed by the end of the day. (Yay!) And will be on to my living room and all the other odds and ends later on.
God has blessed me and it is increasingly evident every day. Praise Him!
