Family Disc Golf

On a random Sunday afternoon in September, it worked out for Collin and Kevin to come over for dinner and a visit. Kevin had recently been enjoying some disc golf with his buddies, so Jeff suggested we head up to the Cinco Ranch park and try out the disc golf course there. We talked the kids into joining us and it turned into an unexpected but fun family outing! We sure enjoyed the beautiful weather and family time, but there's no telling how many discs were lost that day, HA! 

Junior High Cheer Night

After returning from my girls trip, I was so excited to attend Junior High night at one of the big football games for Tompkins High School. The Woodcreek and Tays junior high squads joined with the Tompkins cheerleaders for Friday Night Football at Rhodes Stadium in Katy. It was a gorgeous night for some football, and the girls looked great as they cheered on the sidelines and performed on the field at halftime!

Girls Trip to Waco

September turned out to be a month of amazing girl time for me, because no sooner had I returned from visiting my colleagues and friends at work in Dallas, but I then set off for Waco for a long-anticipated girls weekend with my favorite girls in the world, my high school besties! We try to arrange a visit once per year, and for this trip we rented a cute little Waco farmhouse in the middle of town. It was precious! We loved the accommodations, and we were excited to explore what Waco had to offer as we caught up on life from the past year. Of course, we had to check out the Magnolia area in hopes of spotting Chip and Jo, and we loved visiting all the cute shops, eateries, and bookstores during our stay. We enjoyed some wonderful food and even better conversation as we tooled around Waco and took in the sights with the beautiful weather. So fun and just what 

Of course, no girls trip would be complete without countless photos to document our together-time. We always spend HOURS hunting down the right photo opportunities and staging the pics just right so we can capture our annual weekend visit. It is quite the feat to find a single photo where we all like the way we look, ha! And it's crazy to realize that we've been friends for over 30 years now! What a blessing to have these amazing girls in my life, and I'm already counting down the days until our next trip together!

Colleagues and Friends

About once a quarter, I try to drive up to Dallas to meet with my colleagues at our Blankenship Consulting office in the Galleria area. In early September, I was so excited to have some quality time with some of my close co-workers after working together for over a year on a client project. We made reservations at a super nice restaurant called The Mexican and enjoyed some fabulous food and conversation along with a little work. I feel so blessed that my job has turned into such a source of fun and encouragement with wonderful colleagues who I now call my friends. :-)
