Bailey's Birthday and The Alamo

So on the 18th it was Bailey's first Birthday, we decided to take her to this park that is by our apartment. The park was huge it took like 10 minuets just to find where the dog park was lol We let Bailey run around and be a wild girl, since she doesn't get to do that much at home. She was really good too she didn't ever run off or go far away from us!

There she is being a wild girl! She loved following Kellen around. 

We had a good time playing with her and we also took lunch with us, so we kinda went on a family picnic. It was nice to just be together and have fun with our puppy! 

I love my little family soooo much! 

So on Monday we went to the Alamo with Dede and Summer! I have always wanted to go and explore the Alamo. Every time I think of the Alamo I always think about Miss Congeniality the movie and how the pageant was in Texas and they also show the Alamo lol 

It is not as big as I thought it would be, but I love the brick and the old buildings. We could not take any pictures inside so I don't have many pictures to show of the Alamo. 

I had to take this picture for my momma back home, cause I know how she loves arches and southwestern style and the Alamo just reminded me of her! I love you Momma!

The Alamo was beautiful and we enjoyed looking at everything and having fun together as a family! We also went by a couple other places and took some funny pictures!

Summer and I with a very tall man!

Me with a very large woman.......or man???!!!! lol 

Summer and I made a friend while we were out....his name was Jed....we loved him!!

This picture is of the Majestic Theatere where Kellen and I are going to see Wicked on the 24th of this month! I bought the tickets for Kellen's birthday, I am soooo excited for him to see the play I know he will love it! We had a great weekend with our family and with each other, we are blessed with what God has given us. There are still some trials that we are going through, but God is faithful to us and we trust what He has in store for us! We love and miss everyone at home!

SNOW!!!!

So this last week we had snow out here in Texas! Kellen got a call at 6 in the morning to not come into work cause the roads were closed due to Ice and Snow. At about 8 Kellen woke up to take bailey out to the bathroom, then he came rushing back in yelling at me to come look outside. It was soo exciting looking out upon Snow!!!!

It was soo cool to have that, Kellen and I have never lived anywhere with snow falling and staying on the ground. But in Texas we can get it but not all the time lol Anyways it was just fun to feel like winter outside, instead of California where its 70 in January lol 

The whole main road was covered in snow. I guess by like 6 in the morning over 300 accidents had happened, so I was glad that Kellen was home safe with me and he didn't have to go to work. 

Bailey had a hard time getting traction on the snow, cause it was hard like ice. She slide down like half of the stairs to get outside, it was pretty funny. 

Anyways it was a pretty awesome day having snow and having Kellen all day long, it was a wonderful day. We are so blessed to have an amazing family and friends here to support us. I have been blessed to have a friend out here, we had friends from California move out here for the military too, but they will only be here till June. It has been so nice to have a friend to hangout with and talk to while Kellen is gone at work. I feel blessed with everything that God has given me and Kellen. I am a blessed wife to have the husband that I do. I love my hubby sooo much and am happy that I get to spend the rest of my life with him.

A week with Sydney!

This past week Kellen had a week off of work and we decided to steal his little sister Sydney for the week! It sure was a fun week and it is great practice for having our own baby someday! She is a sweet girl and we enjoyed spoiling her and playing with her 24-7! We also had our sister Laken come stay with us so we could enjoy her as well! Both of them are a true joy in our lives! It was funny cause every morning I had a routine, I would wake up when Bailey wanted to go out to the bathroom, come in make my morning coffee, watch CSI and wait till Sydney would wake up. When she woke up I would make her oatmeal and yogurt! I loved seeing this face every morning!

I would hangout with Sydney and play with her until the rest of the house would wake up, I enjoyed our little time together every morning! Most days we would wake up and take Sydney for long walks, she always wanted to go outside lol she is and adventurous girl! Kellen and Laken loved taking Sydney and running and playing with her on our walks!

We took Sydney to Toys R US, she loved looking at everything and playing with all the fun toys. We ended up buying her a couple of things, we just could not help it. We bought her this cute outfit!

An we also bought her a Princess tent, which she would refuse to come out of! She loves it too much and it is fun to watch her play in it with all her toys! It kept her occupied for hours!

There was one thing she loved more then anything in the world! A Hot Pink Barbie Mustang! She sure wanted that thing and we had a hard time getting her to get out of it! What a Diva!

It was a wonderful week and we enjoyed it very much, but we are enjoying just being with each other after all the fun this week. Kellen and I are excited to spend some alone time for a while and refresh! We cant wait to have our sisters over again sometime! Kellen and I went to a church this Sunday that we enjoyed, Kellen really liked and we plan on going to it again next Sunday! It is just taking me a little bit more time getting use to something different, I miss my church family back at home, but I know that God has a plan for us out here and he is helping us make this place a home! Here is our sweet child I could not help but add a picture of our baby! She is turning 1 Year Old on February 18! Woooooo!

Love and miss everyone at home! 

Exploring San Antonio

So this past Monday the family went to the Riverwalk in San Antonio and had a little adventure. The Riverwalk was so beautiful, so many shops and cool things to see. 

It was a little cold outside, but it was well worth our time going, we didn't get to walk the whole river. That just means that we get to go back and explore some more. We went into shops and looked around, me and the girls could not help but try on some cowgirl hats!

I plan on buying one in the near future, I need my Cowgirl boots and Cowgirl hat and I will be all set!

There were lots of cool restaurants for Kellen and I to go eat dinner at(hint hint!)!!

There is a park by the riverwalk, also you can get to the Alamo from the Riverwalk, we have not explored that yet, but we plan on going next weekend! At one end of the Riverwalk there was a Mall called the RiverCenter, it was Awesome!!! I see myself there in the near future!

This is the Rivercenter! Can't wait to go back there! We had a pretty fun time down there with everyone and we are excited to go back and enjoy it more. I see lots of date nights down there! This week Kellen started his new job and we are really excited about it. It is gonna be a great job for him, I know that he will do amazing as an Instructor! 

There is my cute Husband! I am so blessed to have him! I praise God everyday that I get to love that man for the rest of my life. We are so greatful for everything that God has given us and we are blessed to have such an amazing family here and at home!

Getting Settled

It's been awhile, but we are finally in our apartment and getting settled in San Antonio. Our stuff was behind a couple weeks, but all that matters is that our stuff is here now. We have tons of help getting our stuff unpacked.

This is when we were getting that couch in the apartment it would not fit in the door so we had to take the railing off on the balcony and pull it up that way. Remember that we are on the second floor!!! There were boxes everywhere it was a disaster!

I am lucky that I had so much help cause we unloaded everything within the first day, now its just a matter of organization and decorating everything! I can't wait till this is done and this home feels complete. I am so blessed to have such  helpful husband who supports me in everything. 

It's weird not knowing where anything is, but that will take some time to get use to. I am loving having so much space in our new apartment, its wonderful to have a place for guests.......I am expecting visits from everyone! 

This I my guest room awaiting people to come visit it!

I am happy here and I love the houses and everything they are so beautiful, I can't wait to explore more of the city and go to the Riverwalk. I know that so many exciting things are in store for me and Kellen, I am so happy that we are finally getting settled and starting our life here. I praise God for our family and the support that we have here. We also got a addition to our family when we arrived here.....meet our first child Bailey Rae Holcomb.

We miss everyone at home and love everyone! I guess that is all for now, now back to decorating! 

Moving

With only 19 days till Texas I feel the moving chaos starting to begin. Already that apartment has become messy and I am kind of a freak about having a straight place. I keep asking myself how many boxes of stuff are we going to have, it can't be that many we don't have that much stuff......but we will have to find out when it is all said and done, think we have more stuff then we realize!! I wish moving were as easy as that picture pick up the house and move it and your done, no packing up everything you own. It's hard too I don't wanna pack up stuff for Christmas or anything like that, uhhhh I have a headache already!! Well I better get off this thing and pack!!!

Starting our Life Together

A perfect dream come true wedding, nothing could have been better. We celebrated the start of our new life together with 175 people, they laughed and cried with us as we took this new step into life. After our dream wedding we went on a week adventure in Hawaii! Kellen surprised me and I couldn't of asked for anything better. We rented a Jeep(our favorite car) for the week and drove around the whole entire Island of Maui. We got to Swim with turtles and eat out every night! I loved it no cooking, just enjoying each other and the new life that we have together.

I am starting this blog so that people back home and where ever you are can keep track of me and Kellen and so we won't lose touch. We are excited about everything that is in store for us, we trust that God has a wonderful plan for us. Our life is one big adventure and I am soo happy that I get to share this with Kellen Bryan Holcomb!
