family!!

This past sunday Curtis, Brooklynn and I headed down to visit some of his family that lives down in Grand Prairie. I was very excited to meet more of the amazing people that make up Curtis' side of the family. I am beyond blessed to have married into such fabulous family!!!

We all had so much fun! One reason I am sad to leave Texas is that it will be so long before we get to see all the wonderful people who live here!!

remember that time i had a cockroach in my pants..??!!

Well, that time was yesterday!!

That's what I get for letting our laundry pile up on our bedroom floor.

Living in Texas I've had to deal a lot with bugs, especially since we live in a basement apartment with a little lake behind us. 

So no matter how clean I keep our apartment every once in a while we find a cockroach in the house.

Now I am deathly afraid of big bugs.

Like, I feel like I'm going to die when I see one.

I don't know why I freak out so much but I literally cannot handle them.

Which is why I could never live here permanently.

4 months with these big bugs is enough for me.

I am more than happy to go back to Utah to have a freezing cold winter JUST because there are no big bugs!!

Now here's what happened to me yesterday..

I took a nap.

Got up to get ready to leave for the day.

I grabbed my pants from off the floor and put them on.

I though there was a wrapper or something jammed on the backside of my knee so I tried to pull it out from the bottom (they were jean capris) but I couldn't get it.

So I pulled my pants down only to find a HUGE COCKROACH jump out of my pants.

I screamed ripped my pants off and ran out of our room.

LUCKILY Curtis was home and was able to go get it. 

I jumped onto our bed and was seriously hyperventilating, trying everything in my power not to throw up...

Worst. Day. Of. My. Life.

Just thinking of it now makes me cringe. AHHHH

SO last night I went on a crazy cleaning rampage and I never again will put my clothes on the floor..

Well, at least not until I get back to Utah... ha

almost over...

Well, it's getting down to the last few weeks of being in Texas..

If I'm being completely honest I'm getting pretty excited to get back to Utah.

Not so many big scary bugs there. haha

So I am just trying to fill the days with fun stuff before we leave.

I'm determined to do all the stuff that's worth seeing before we leave!

3 more weeks... 

splash pad

There is this cute splash pad not too far from our apartment that Brooklynn just LOVES!!

She really liked the pool but she loves being able to just run free and play in the water at the splash park! 

I love finding places like this that she absolutely loves! 

Even though they sometimes end in little fits because she doesn't ever want to leave!!

I AM BACK!!!!

Well, it's been a while to say the least... but I'm back with full force! As I was sitting here thinking about what to blog about I realized that there is just a lot that's happened.. well a lot and not a lot if that makes sense. So for my first post back I am just going to post lots of photos. From my trip home to CA and some other random days! Enjoy!!!
