I’m going to be an auntie to a baby GIRL! Congratulations Laura!!
Brooks Kathryne Carter is still set to arrive around August 8th, 2010. The first thing Laura and I did this afternoon (after gushing over all of her little pictures first!) of course was GO SHOPPING! Little girls are so fun!
Please keep Laura and baby Brooks in your prayers for the next 20 weeks. We can’t wait to meet you, Brooks!
This past weekend we traveled to Bastrop, TX for my favorite cousin’s wedding. We stayed at the Hyatt Lost Pines resort where the rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception all took place. It was a nice hotel, way overpriced, but would have been perfect if we had kids. Very family friendly.
The wedding was supposed to be outside but Mother Nature did not behave and at the last minute everything was moved inside. Good thing because it was COLD on Saturday! Everything was still B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, even with a last minute change. And to think this was all planned in 4 months!

This post is extremely hard to write, and I’m not even sure my words can fully encompass all of my emotions right now. One of my sweet former cheerleaders went to be with God on Friday night.
Nicole was one of my cheerleaders from 2007-2009. Friday night her family was coming home from spring break in Galveston when they were hit by a drunk driver. Nicole joined the angels in heaven while her little brother and sister both sustained massive injuries and are currently still in ICU. Her mom broke her back and shoulder but has been released to tend to her younger siblings. Her dad did not sustain any injuries, and her older brother and sister were not with the family in Galveston.
Nicole was a freshman at Katy High School, a member of the volleyball team and a manager for the softball team. She planned to tryout for cheerleader next month and was on the honor roll. While at KJH she was a cheerleader, involved in athletics and theatre. She truly was the student everyone described as “always having a smile on her face.” She was named All-Star Cheerleader her 8th grade year.
Love you, sweet girl.
The past week has been F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Friday I celebrated 26 years of life (can you believe I’m already 26?!?! Crazy!) and the family and I went to Chili’s to celebrate. Matty had a soccer game so he could not attend. :(
Mama and Mama Jo gifted me with new luggage which was very much needed. It turns 360 degrees and has multiple pockets. I’m very excited about it!
The best sister-in-laws in the world made me the most delicious cake you will ever put into your mouth! You can read about it here.
Monday for our anniversary Matty took me to the Taste of Texas for dinner to celebrate. Mmmmmmazing! Neither of us had ever been and for those of you who have never experienced it either we highly recommend it. Classy place, good food and great service.
On Tuesday since Matt was not able to celebrate my birthday with me we went out just the two of us to our favorite place, THE MELTING POT! We don’t get to go there often, but since it was a special day and since we had plenty of time because of spring break, we decided to visit. It did not disappoint! Yummm…I could eat the chocolate fondue everyday of my life. :) Afterwards we saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D at the movies. Very good.
This weekend we are headed to Bastrop, TX for Drew and Kendall’s wedding!
…or 2 years ago, WE GOT MARRIED! Happy 2 year anniversary babe…you are still the best part of me. I love you, always and forever.
It’s official, Mike and Missy are married!
We spent this weekend celebrating Mike and Missy’s big day. Mike and Matt have been friends since high school playing football together and living on the same street. Over time Missy and I have become incredibly close and they are like family to us. Matt was a groomsman in the wedding and I was the reader during the ceremony. We can’t tell you how happy we are for these two and how much their friendship means to us. Congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life together!
We started off the weekend rehearsing at the church and celebrating at Smith and Wollensky afterwards. The Cathey’s sure know how to throw a party!
Delicious meal…loved the creamed spinach!

Saturday Mike treated us to a wonderful breakfast at the Houstonian and we spent most of the morning just lounging around and getting ready. The wedding was at Westminster United Methodist Church and the reception was at the Houstonian. They both were BEAUTIFUL and perfect locations for Mike and Missy’s wedding. A few from Saturday:

Congratulations Mike and Missy! Have fun in Jamaica!
