Spring Break

It's a family tradition that whoever gets out for spring break first calls all the other family members and yells over the phone, "IT'S SPRING BREAKKKK!!!!" Yes, us educators are excited for a week long break! :)

Chad's and I spring break started out with our small group coming over for supper, bingo (none of us won :/ ), and games. I love hosting things and opening our house  to others. We are so thankful for the friends we have made and the many laughs we always get to enjoy when we are together. 

Saturday, Chad and I went to our first Houston Rodeo. My uncle spoiled us and gave us the grand tour of everything rodeo. He also treated Chad to bungee jumping. It scared me half to death but my dare devil husband enjoyed it! It is now something he can mark off his bucket list. Next, skydiving...

Chad bungee jumping!

Next, my uncle thought it would be fun to treat us both to a ride! I hate high fair rides that hang you in the air upside down for minutes on end...

Before the ride...

During the ride...

 I love how Chad is waving peacefully and I am hanging on for dear life!

On Sunday I  drove to Austin to see my brother and Mom and Dad. Chad had to stay and work. :(

Can I just say how much I LOVE Austin! 

The people, the FOOD, oh the food, and all the fun things to do. 

Some highlights of our week were:

1. 6th street (ok people are crazy!) 

2. Round Rock Outlet Mall- sorry Dave Ramsey I broke budget!

3. Fredericksburg- I loved the wild flower farm and hiking Enchanted Rock- although it was not that enchanting.

4. Steeping Room- one of my favorite shops in Austin. We smelled tea leaves and picked out some of our favorite tea flavors. 

5. Relaxation and family time! I miss having family close by. It was so good to spend time, laugh, talk, and just be together. 

6. Alamo Draft House- movie and food it can't get any better! We saw Oz the Great and Powerful. Great movie and the caramel salted milkshake...I love you! best. milkshake. ever.

Here is a pic of some of the food we got at the food trucks.

 Cream soda, fried pickles, and fried nutella and marshmallow! 

 Favorite BBQ place!

 Delicious. This is now in the Austin rotations of places to always go.

The bread, the meat, the coleslaw, the meat, the potato salad, the meat...

It was a great spring break! Full of rest, love, and family. And to end it all I got to come home to my hubby! I love coming home to him and our life we've made together.

I hope you all had a wonderful spring break! 

Now, how many days till summer?!?
