April through June
Sean and I finally got out on a date night back in April. While Sean was working at REI, he was pulling 10+ hours days 5 days a week with commuting time. Our only day off together was Wednesday and even then he was usually too exhausted to do much. So on the rare occasion we got out on a date night, it was awesome!! This night we headed to the West 7th district in Fort Worth. We had such a great time!!!
And we're off...!!!
I found Thirteen Pies... kind of an upscale pizza place. Not your average pizza, that's for sure!! It was sooooo ridiculously yummy!!
West 7th
I look so drunk here but I'm really not! He caught me mid-blink! LOL
We went to the Coyote Drive-in in Fort Worth!!!! I haven't been to a drive-in since we first dated! That was centuries ago! The Caughran's planned it all. I met them out there after work. We saw Home and then Cinderella, which Emery and I had already seen so I wasn't planning to stay. But then we did! And she slept on my lap. It was glorious!
An awesome view of downtown as the sun was setting
Emery started out here next to me but it didn't last long....
.... she quickly ended up here with the young girls and my friend's teen who snuggled with them all in the back of the truck. It looked so comfy... I wanted to jump in! ha!
Within 5 min of Cinderella, she was out! Nothin' better than
your daughter sleeping on you for hours!
PINK IMPACT 2015
Another year at our Women's Conference! Again, I attended with my beautiful friend Karah, 2nd from the left, and her amazing mom (whom I've adopted), Cindy. During lunch the first day we invited Kat, far left, to eat with us and she spent the rest of the conference with us. We all had such a great time! And a very deep, awesome time growing in and worshipping Jesus! It was my best conference yet!

Random pics...
these pretty girls jumped in my car after church one day for the drive home!
This rock wall is about 5-6 feet tall... Emery does not shy away from it! Nope, she climbed it all by herself in dress and dress shoes. (except for taking this very quick pic I was under her, with my hand ready to catch her... in case you were worried ;)
Chilling at Starbucks with mommy and Kat (my new friend from the Pink Conference)
Girl's day!
It was Sean's last week at REI and our last chance to go visit him at work. We don't get out there often because we really have to make a day of it. We started out at the Keller library for story time.

First, story time!
And then a little bit of 'reading'
We headed into Dallas only for her to fall asleep in the car. I heard about Ascension Coffee, so that was my first stop. It was a fabulous coffee/wine/tapas place in the Design District. I got my lavendar latte and sat on the patio, reading my ebook, with Emery sleeping on my lap. Three of my favorite things and I got them all at once! I've been on a hunt for the best lavendar latte and this one is the best so far!
Then we headed to REI and visited daddy. Purchased a few last things with his discount and then headed home.
Once we were back in Keller, we stopped for cupcakes! It was a perfect mommy/daughter day!
Mother's Day
I got to pick wherever I wanted to go for brunch.... so Brewed it was!!! I don't know why... but this place continually makes my heart happy! So we went to church and afterward headed out for the 25 min drive to downtown Fort Worth Magnolia St. But just as we headed out, a torrential downpour began! We could hardly see the street as we drove south on the freeway. It was insane! I waited anxiously for Sean to suggest we turn around and go somewhere closer to home. But he never did. We arrived safely and parked only to have to trudge through deep waters to cross the street (I in my open toed wedges!). We put our name in for an expected 45 minute wait but there was no room inside. So we returned outside to huddle with others under an extremely small overhang! Again.... I waited for Sean to suggest another restaurant, but he didn't. Well the wait went from 45 minutes to an hour and a half!!! We were all starving. Emery especially! By the time we were seated, I thanked him for not suggesting a change in brunch and also for not complaining (as another man was jokingly doing to his family). He smiled and said "what would that do? It's not going make it go faster." And THAT was the biggest gift he could have ever given me!!! To let me have my Brewed brunch (my first chicken and waffles that were amazing!!!!) on MY day!!!! I felt so loved! Thanks babe!!!

SOME RANDOM HAPPENINGS....
Emery here showing ME how to do my workout! Love her!
Muscles! haha
(don't mind my hair...I was in the middle of doing it! haha)
Sean came across his father's trumpet and started playing it. It was pretty cool! But then he showed Emery how and she did it better than me!!!!
Gavin came over, and though we did not plan their outfits, they were so adorable that I had to find the biggest fork I had and take some "farm kids" pics!!!
Not my best picture, but she makes me feel (and look) like a princess!!!
I got called into work late one night during a huge storm! I got to work just in time before the torrential downpour, but got an awesome light show during my drive!! I was glad to have been called in and not stuck inside the house. I would have missed this!!
*sigh* precious
