We spent a much needed get away weekend in Dallas. It started off meeting the Wallaces at the Ranger's game. Which is actually the reason we went in the first place, because they had invited us a month or so before to go with them. I'll admit it was quite stressful getting up there. We both had to leave work early, which was fine, but then we got on the road and our first major obstacle was in Riesel, a tiny little town before you hit Waco. We were going over a hill right before you hit the town and the speed limit changes, and just as we got over it we saw the cop... but it was already too late. He pulled us over... and Jacob got a ticket. So that was no fun. And then down 35 after Waco all the way to Dallas the roads were busy, but as we got about 20-30 minutes away from the field is when we hit the worst of traffic. I've seriously been in away from Houston too long, because I can't handle that kind of traffic anymore. Haha. But we finally got to the field and the rest of the night was good.
Right as we pulled the phone out to get a picture WITH the fireworks, they stopped. Of course ;)
And even though the Rangers lost, we still had a good time.
Yesterday the Wallaces came with us to my sisters house, and then we all went out on the boat.
My niece and nephew are just the sweetest, whenever I see them they always run up and hug me. I LOVE it!!

They left after tubing to get their girls and head out to see family, but we stayed out a little longer.
He sat like this most of the afternoon, he even took a nap. Haha. Towards the end he finally came to the back of the boat with everyone else.

He did so good with this one! I was proud, he was still upset he couldn't get up on the other one though.
Unfortunately Jacob and I didn't put any sunscreen on until it was far too late. We both hurt now. But at least my sister and Alex got to make an example out of us for the kids. As I was putting the soothing stuff on Jacob's burn Alex told them, and this is why we wear sunscreen. Haha.
For real though... it hurts.
But on the bright side... it was their stake conference so I only had to sit painfully for 2 hours.
And I had some pretty cute entertainment ;)
We had a great time with everyone this weekend. And were so grateful we got to spend time with Jonathan and Kaitlin and my sister and her family. And we are so excited we get to see them all again in a month for our wedding :))
Speaking of which... 33 days until we're married!!
And last but most certainly not least. Our sweet little puppy.
She had to stay home, Chrissy came and checked on her and made sure she had plenty to eat and drink. And thanks to my sister we brought her back a pool. (I still can't believe both walmarts in town are out!) And I'm so glad she actually likes the pool. I was a little worried.
