It has been a while!!

I am re-commiting myself to keep up with my blogging. I fell of the wagon and wasn't even on that long. LOL. Hopefully it works out the second time around. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

So here is a snapshot of some things that have happened since May.

Jason and I went home to Houston in June for two weeks and had a great time with family and friends. We were able to visit with Jason's grandmother, Kitty, who is a sweet lady I admire very much. She has raised such a beautiful family. Also while in town we went to one of our favorite places to visit, New Baunfels. We rented a cabin on the river for a weekend and had a great time with John and Belinda, Kevin and Mary, and Chuck and Angela. Hope to be able to make that a tradition. I also got to stay the night with my friend Charlotte and went to Sea World with her children and my sister. Thanks Charlotte for a fun day and the good Indian food.

In the month of August the greatest girl I know came to visit Jason and I for 15 days. Katy flew up here to PA and got to see how Jason and I live day to day. It wasn't very exciting as she found out. But it was a real treat to have her all to ourselves. We took her to Philadelpia to see the historical sites, and then took a trip up to Niagara Falls. The falls were awe inspiring and all three of us loved the Maid of the Mist boat ride. The highlight of her trip for me was our Six Flags in NJ day. Up until this day Katy was afraid of heights but something took over her body and she was a girl with no fear that day. The King da Ka is the fastest(128mph in 3seconds) and tallest(45stories) ride in the world and the reason Jason and I wanted to go to this park. I never thought that Katy would get on this ride. But ride she did, and not only twice but three times again did she ride that ride. I was terrified of it but didn't show it cause Katy wasn't even a little bit nervous. It was a wonderful day and one that I will never forget. Love you Katy!!!

In September, Kevin Fowler, who is a Texas County music artist, came to Wilkes Barre for a free concert. Jason and I got to the Bar and Grill where he was playing about an hour and a half before the show was scheduled to start. I immediatley saw his cowboy hat sitting at a table eating dinner and asked the hostess if we could be seated at the other end of the table. She walked us over and sat us down. We ended up hanging out with him and two of the band members all night. Kevin challenged me to beat him at skee ball and he would play a song of my choice. So I whooped his booty!! 250 to 175! So he kept good on his word and dedicated "100%Texan" to me and we got it on video. It was a pretty cool moment.

Jason and I love to go to concerts together and one of our favorite bands, Cross Canadian Ragweed, is calling it quits this year. Their last show is in Chicago and we tried to get tickets to it but they wanted way too much money. So we found a show in Austin, The Red Dirt Festival that they would be playing at and flew down for the weekend. It was a spur of the moment kind of trip and we met two awesome girls, Kelly and Michelle. While there Chuck and Angela came to visit us and we got to celebrate Gregory's 1st birthday with them. We ate at Joe's Crab Shack and then walked around the capital grounds.
