Married to Ponch

Being married to Ponch is an adventure. He felt it was time that I learn how to shoot.  So he called some close friends who were gracious enough to let us go on their land and learn.  This one my first time ever to do something like this so I was excited and didn't know what to expect. Phil is an excellent teacher and we had a blast (literally) spending time with friends. 

Donuts!

For my Hubby's graduation we had both of our families come into town. Our place is pretty humble and would not hold all of our family for a comfortable dinner. So, some very good friends opened their home to host us and a few others. We wanted our parents to meet more people where we live... and celebrate Phil's accomplishments. Our friend got this cake made of Krispy Kreme Donuts! Oh cute, right! So we added a few touches and woop, zoop, swoop... instant officer cake!

I wanted to take a cute picture of my valentine and I... but this is what I got.

Take Two... Our first Valentine's Day as Husband and Wife. We spent the day with a Family from the Midland Church. It was such a good surprise and a pleasure to worship with them this morning.

A Night On the Town

One of the perks of this town is you don't have to drive too long to have a good time. It is so close to two big cities. A few weeks ago some friends

and us went to downtown San Antonio. We had dinner at this really cool place in the art district and walked the riverwalk. I love the riverwalk because there is always something to celebrate and it is such a cool atmosphere. This night we took a boat tour through the river. That is the best was to experience the riverwalk. The buildings and landscaping is breathtaking. Every way you look there is something interesting to look at. This was was no expecting as I got to sit next to Phil! After enjoying the riverwalk, we all walked till we spoted a Starbucks. We stopped in for something to drink and end up talking umong the comfy couches for a few hours. The coffee was good but the company was great!
