Graham's Baptism & Friends

We started out this weekend with lots of time at Sugar Creek. Justin played golf while I played tennis on Friday. Cindy and I got some sun by the pool in the afternoon and then we ate at the clubhouse for dinner. Terry was in a golf tournament at River Bend CC, so it was just us three! Saturday morning, Justin and I played a little golf and then joined Cindy to hit a few more after lunch. There was a crawfish boil and live music, so we were definitely entertained!
Then we headed back to the house and cleaned up for our guests. We had Tracy, Stephen & Drew in town to celebrate Tracy's birthday. We went out to a seafood place in Town Square for dinner and then relaxed at the house a bit until our cab arrived to take us downtown. We ended up on Washington crashing a random high school reunion! Justin enjoyed himself making sure everyone had signed in and was giving out the name tags. It was really funny. These guys always have a good time when they get back together. Drew also convinced his sister to join us. We probably could have just stayed in Sugar Land, but we had to compromise a little.
We called it a night and headed home. We stayed up way too late, but had a wonderful time catching up with friends. The next morning we headed to Fajita Flats for breakfast and then got ready for Graham's Baptism down in Galveston.

Justin and I met up with Caleb and Liz and rode with them to Galveston to the same church they got married in, so their 8 week old son could be baptized. Graham wore his grandfathers same outfit! After a quick change in the car, even Justin held Graham and got some smiles out of him!
Justin is starting to like babies : )
So proud
The Rabons
Beautiful church. Intimate ceremony. Wonderful turn out of people. Caleb and Liz chose to do a private baptism, so the whole ceremony was only focused on Graham. He was such a wonderful baby during the whole thing! After the baptism, we headed back to the Rabon's house and enjoyed wonderful food, drinks, and a few games of bags.
We enjoyed the end of another beautiful Houston sunset on our way home. Perfect end to a fun filled weekend!

Tennis Tournament & Wedding Weekend

A couple weeks ago Tricia and I played in the Sugar Creek CC Member-Guest Tournament together. The weather was absolutely perfect for tennis. We had great food, frozen drinks, music, gifts and a wonderful turn out. There were three flights, and ~8 teams in each flight. After playing some of our best tennis, we came out on top and won first place! Here's a photo re-cap of the tournament.

I am one very lucky (& appreciative) girl! I love living in Sugar Land. I love living two minutes away from my in-laws. I love my job, even though it's far away and I love that I only have to work 3 days a week. I love playing tennis. I love the spring weather. I love the sun.
I love my husband. I love my dogs.
I love my life.

Chase's Wedding

One of my very best friends growing up got married this past weekend! I am so thankful I was able to get off work and attend the wedding. He married Erin Ryan, sweet & beautiful southern girl. The wedding was at Faith UMC, where Chase & I went to church together growing up.
Mr & Mrs Chase Evans!

The wedding was full of flashbacks! I had no idea who I was going to see at the wedding and much to my liking, I got to spend the evening with the O'Donnells & Nelsons. I didn't spend much time away from these families for SEVERAL years, so it was so nice to catch up!
