WHAT A GREAT VACATION!!!!!

WE HAD AN AMAZING VACATION AS WE DECIDED ON GOING TO ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES PORT ARANSAS!!!! AT FIRST WE WERE JUST GONNA STAY HOME BUT THE WEATHER LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE GOOD.

WE LEFT WEDNESDAY MORNING AND STAYED AT THE HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS IT WAS ONLY A BLOCK OR SO FROM THE BEACH. THE ROOM WAS NICE BUT ONE THING WE REALLY ENJOYED WAS THE HOT TUB. THEY DID HAVE A SUMMING POOL BUT I WAS NOT READY FOR THE COLDNESS EVEN THOUGH THE HUBBY DOUBLE DOG DARED ME I JUST WAS NOT GOING TO GET IN AS IT WAS REALLY COLD. WELL THE NEXT DAY THE HUBBY TOOK A SHORT ENTRY AND GOT BACK INTO THE HOT TUB HE SAID IT WAS REALLY COLD BUT I DID DOUBLE DOG DARE HIM SO HE HAD TO SHOW ME UP. THIS WOULD BE A NICE PLACE TO STAY FOR A FAMILY AS NOT ONLY DID THEY HAVE THE POOL AND HOT TUB BUT A KIDDIE POOL WITH TWO FOUNTAINS IN IT. THEY ALSO SERVED HOT BREAKFAST WE HAD EGGS BACON BISCUITS WITH GRAVY COFFEE AND I ALSO HAD SOME YOGURT. IT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE PRICE OF OUR ROOM.

THE BEACH WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE WERE SHELLS TO BE FOUND. WE EVEN FOUND TWO GOOD SIZE SHELLS. I HAPPENED ACROSS A SNAKE THAT WAS ON THE BEACH. I HATE SNAKES BUT WAS INTRIGUED AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE ON THE BEACH BEFORE. THURSDAY EVENING WE GOT DRESSED UP AND WENT AND HAD THE BIGGEST SHRIMP I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS WAS SERVED WITH FRIES. IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY.

WE STOPPED IN GERINAMO AND FOUND THE HUBBY AN ON OLD RAZOR THE KIND YOU SEE IN THE OLD MOVIES IT WAS A STEAL. HE WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT FINDING THIS AS WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE SINCE LAST NOVEMBER.

WELL AFTER NINE DAYS OF NO WORK TOMORROW WILL BE BACK TO WORK AS USUAL. SAY A PRAYER FOR ME AS I WILL HAVE ALOT TO CATCH UP ON.

OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY!!!!

TODAY IS MY HUBBY AND I 30TH ANNIVERSARY!!! I CAN SAY HE (MY HUBBY) IS STILL THE ONE FOR ME. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW 30 YEARS AGO WE ELOPED AND WERE MARRIED AT THE BELL COUNTY COURTHOUSE. WE MET IN SEPTEMBER 1978 AT UMHB AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

I KNOW FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART GOD PUT US TOGETHER FOR A LIFETIME. I CANNOT EVER IMAGINE ANYONE BETTER FOR ME IN MY LIFETIME. LIKE I SAID BEFORE HE IS STILL THE ONE AND I LOVE HIM MORE THAN I DID THEN. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT COULD HAPPEN BUT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND WONDERFUL LIFE.

OUR CHILDREN BLESSED US WITH A CELEBRATION ON SUNDAY. IT WAS SO SWEET AND MEANT SO MUCH TO US THAT THEY WOULD MAKE THIS SO SPECIAL. THEY HAD A CAKE MADE WITH OUR PICTURE FROM BEFORE WE MARRIED AND ONE PICTURE FROM TODAY. IT WAS SO NEAT. THEY HAD OUR HOUSE DECORATED FOR THE OCCASION.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL EVENT OF CELEBRATION TO EACH OF MY CHILDREN AND ALL MY FAMILY WHO CAME TO HELP US CELEBRATE. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS ANNIVERSARY AS YOU EACH MADE IT SPECIAL FOR US. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO BROUGHT FOOD IT WAS ALL WONDERFUL!!!!

I HAVE TO MENTION HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATED JESSICA SCOTT AND JENNIFER FOR CLEANING UP AFTERWARDS. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! ALSO FOR JUSTIN FOR MAKING IT HOME TO CELEBRATE WITH US!!
