Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Luke 22:7

Over 160mph....

WOW! What a way to end Spring Break!

Hans, the girls & I went to Dallas this weekend. We met up with some friens on Saturday at the hotel, and went to Dave & Busters for dinner. Our girls and the Holmes' boys were the only kids. Kt my 13 yr. old hung out with Drew the Holmes' 13 yr. old....totally weird for me!

Anyway, moving on...There were about 25 of us total.

Lots of fun was had by all!

Sunday afternoon was when the guys were scheduled to participate in the Richard Petty Driving School Rookie Experience. This was Hans 5th time, and Jared's 2nd, and nobody else had done anything like this before. Then I was told I could ride along in a race car with a professional, and go faster than Hans could drive....um let me think about this...YES! I'm TOTALLY in!

SO much fun! Can't put into words.

When Ed (my driver) asked me what the best part was I said that I got to go faster than my husband! (The one who flies over Louisiana!)

I have a slide show posted below (well it's actually the next post...up there^)but warning it is quite long....but very entertaining....atleast for me, you may not think so & I'm ok with that!



Hans & I drove home last night and got in about 1AM, and I had a Micro test at 8 this morning...I know I missed 2 we'll see how bad I really did on Wednesday!



The girls rode home with Jared and are spending Mon-Wed with MIL in San Antonio, and then will be with my dad until we go back to TX and get them on Saturday.



So when I'm done with school everyday, it will be so quiet..until Hans gets home. LOL

It will be nice to have some me time, and go on lunch dates with my hubby,(maybe even a dinner date or 2 if I'm lucky)but I will be ready for the kids to be back before too long!

So I feel kind of lazy...all I've done for the past 4 days is sleep, read, & play Wii.

What a Spring Break! I could blame this on the fact that my kids are at school and have SB next week, or that I needed the rest, but do you ever feel like doing absolutely nothing? Does that make me lazy? I still took my kids to school, I still made dinner etc.. but I do not feel like Iaccomplished anything by the end of the day. It's weird I'm looking forward to getting back to school. I think that may be due to getting closer to the end of the semester, and closer to finding out if I am accepted to the ADN program, and will officially be in nursing school. Well I've missed blogging so I'll be back tomorrow...after I study for my Micro test for Monday!

This is where I wish I were this week: an all inclusive resort swimming pool in Cancu Mexico.

Wii did it!

We finally found and purchased a Wii today.


The friends we stay with when we are in in TX got a Wii for Christmas so we have been wanting one since then but everywhere in town has been out. We went in to Best Buy to return something we bought last night and they had a table set up with about 20 Wii on it...So that is what some of us have spent our afternoon doing. While Dad and Em are actually down at the pool. We played in the snow yeaterday and today they are at the pool....just doesn't seem right does it?

Well here are some pics of Kt and the newest member of our entertainment group.

Hopefully I will loose some weight...my arms are already sore. Well, it will be fun trying...

Snow Day

As we woke up this morning...we had an accumulation of snow. The girls first snow! We new that further north towards Memphis we would be able to play in it & possibly build a snow man...so we got in the car and headed north.....below is the slide show of our snow day including building 2 snowpeople, (a 3rd snowperson was built in Memephis but I took pics on my phone and did not save to this slide show but there was a total of 3 snowpeople today), also numerous snow ball fights. After leaving the dam at Enid Lake we headed north to Memphis since it was only another hour. We ate on the famous Beale Street at BB Kings Blues club with live music and an 86 yr. old guitar player...he was quite talented... Then we left to make our last snowperson on the way to the car and finished the fun off with a last snowball fight that mom lost. Then we headed home. The last pics in the slide show are of when we went back by the snowpeople and what was left...AWWWW!

Funny from today:
Katie said, and I quote... "so dad why do they say not to eat the yellow snow?"
I laughed until I cried, and then had to explain...

Spring has sprung




Spring Break has officially started for me! Yipee!
It is beautiful outside today..high of about 70 degrees with a chance of snow tomorrow night.
Yes I said snow...in Mississippi. 36 or so hours from 70 degree weather. Funny how growing up living in Texas the joke was always "If you don't like the weather wait around a few minutes It will change..."
check this out:


Ok so maybe we won't get this much but you get what I'm saying.....
It has snowed here in Mississippi twice since we have lived here.....both times Hans and I were out of the state. The first time all 4 of us went to TX, and the 2nd time Hans & I went to Florida.
This time we will atleast be in the state of MS....we'll see if it happens and if it does if it will happens in the hours I am awake!
I'll keep you updated...but for now I'm going to go enjoy the beautiful, sunny day the Lord has given me.
"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." PS 118:24
