February

Wow, this month has flown by. My last post was actually Lauren writing so here is finally an update from me. Things are great here in Plano. Couldn't be better. Work is steady and busy and Lauren and I are wonderful. We had a fun trip to Burnet, TX at the beginning of the month. I got to meet and hang out with a lot of Lauren's friends from HS and College which I really enjoyed. What a great crew they are. The cabin we stayed at was amazing too.

I don't have much more to write tonight, I am tired from taking a spin class this evening, but I just wanted to post an update and some new pics from our trip to Burnet. Hope this finds everyone well, God Bless.








Notice how I am doing the wrong pose.

The Woman I Love

So, I though for this post I would let my wonderful, amazing, beautiful, extra-awesome girlfriend Lauren share some thoughts. I took them from her Facebook profile so I hope she doesn't mind!

"So I thought yesterday that I might start blogging. I had so much to say and so much to be thankful for and I wanted to share that with the world. And then I remembered that I am busy and that even though it sounds like fun I don't think that I am ready to let blogging consume my life...yet! But I do want to give a tribute to the amazing men in my life.
For those of you who don't know me, or those that do...I am not a huge fan of V-day. But yesterday, when I got home from work I got two of the best V-day surprises ever. The first was a little gift from my dad hanging on the door. Every year for as long as I can remember my dad has gotten me socks for Valentines Day. When I talked with my mom yesterday she told me that he had been upset the night before because he didn't know how he was going to get over to my apartment to give me my gift because he had a busy day. Although I am sure he had a very busy day and much more important things to be doing he found a way to make it to my apartment to give me my socks. I am so blessed to have a father who loves me unconditionally and who schedules his whole day around making mine.
My second surprise was from Eric (of course). When I walked into my bedroom I walked into a bed full of goodies. There were flowers, chocolates and a cute valentines stuffed animal…but best of all there was a letter. He started the letter on January 28th and had written a little more each day since. On each day he wrote what had happened on that particular day to remind him how much he loves me. It is so amazing to see in writing how much he truly respects, appreciates, and loves me. I am so thankful and blessed to have such an amazing man of God in my life. Without anything else, that letter made my Valentines Day the best one ever. Eric I am so grateful for you!
Although I feel that we should all strive to make our loved ones feel loved and cherished everyday, this Valentines was a great one! It is easy to take advantage of the wonderful gifts that God has given, but yesterday God helped me to realize that I don’t deserve any of this. The unconditional love that I am shown by men like my dad and Eric doesn’t even compare to the unconditional love that God has for me.

I think, if we have Valentines Day in heaven…I hope it’s a lot like yesterday…or better yet, maybe everyday will be like yesterday! :)"


Man, I am so blessed and thankful to have her as a part of my life. God is awesome.
