Well, I did it!

I took my driving test today and I passed on the first try! :) I can now drive in Germany! Woohoo!!! I am legal on all fronts and all I have to do is turn in my paperwork and I will start working! So exciting! Will update more soon! Love and Hugs!!!

Stuttgart Zoo and Marktplatz

Well, like I said earlier we were able to go on a mini vacation to Stuttgart. We stayed at the Millenium Resort and Spa and on Saturday before we headed home we went to the Stuttgart Zoo and Botanicle Gardens. It was so much fun just to walk around but the best part was hanging out with my husband! After the Zoo we went window shopping at the Marktplatz and lounged in the grass at the Square. It was relaxing. That night we got to see Josh's friend Tony win his MMA fight. All in all it was a great weekend.

Lazier Days...

Josh and I just got back from a very relaxing trip to Stuttgart Germany. We went down on a friday and came back late saturday night. We stayed at this great resort called Millenium. We ate at some nice restaurants and even went to the spa. That was an experience though. We did not know that German Spa's are "NUDE". Needless to say we tried it and kept our robes on the whole time!!! LOL! The only spa we used was the foot spa. We ended up just wandering around looking at the different treatments they offered. We chalked it up to an experience, at least we can say we did it, LOL!!! We also got to see Josh's co-worker and friend fight in an MMA match in downtown Stuttgart. He won his match and then we all drove home. It was a great weekend and now Josh is back to work and I am getting everything washed for the baby room. I will post weekend and baby room pictures as soon as I can find my memory card convertor! Love and Hugs to all!

San Antonio "Pooh" Party

Towards the end of my stay in Texas my Auntie Barbara and Aunt Billie June threw me a Family shower in San Antonio. It was fun getting to catch up with everyone and play some baby games! The themes was Pooh and I think a fun time was had by all that showed up. Here are a few pictures.

Here I am with the cake and my new do!

Me and Nanna, We both got new do's the morning of the shower and we both loved it! :)

Bandera Pin Wheel Party

After a few days to recoupe from the Tennessee trip my good friend Tori threw me a shower in my hometown of Bandera. It was so beautiful. Tori, my Mom, and Tori's Mom Dianna did all of the decorations and I have to say that they outdid themselves. It was nice to see so many old faces. Here are some of the pictures. :)

This was the sign in table. To the left is a maternity picture, in the middle is my baby picture, and to the right is our wedding picture.

Here I am with her first pair of overalls!!!
Practice makes perfect! Feeding "Steele" while momma Tori mingled.

Tennessee Baby Shower-Diva Days

Well, Tennessee was amazing. I was able to meet Josh's family and spend some quality with Mims and Mo. The baby shower was a Diva Day and so much fun! For Mother's Day we fished off the dock and b-b-q'd. Josh and I hope to get back soon.

Here I am with one of the many "Tennessee" outfits we received. This "lil girl" is going to be the biggest littlest Tennessee fan ever!
Me and Nikki, Josh's cousin. We are due one week apart. We are having a girl and she is having a boy. We hope to have play dates as soon as we get back to the states.

The cutest "Diva" cake. It was a hat with a purse on top. The shoe was the slicer! Cute, Cute!!! :)

Tabs carved this fruit bowl. It was a huge hit and cute to boot! LOL!

While I was in Tennessee I was able to meet Josh's Dad's side of the family as well. It was so nice to be welcomed into the family. Unfortunately I was not able to get any pictures.

Thank you to everyone who made my stay welcoming and memorable!
