A Long Overdue Update....

Okay, so it has been a really long time since I have updated the blog. I seem to be able to update on Facebook but it seems to takes a little more effort to keep the blog up to date.

Without being to lengthy, I will attempt to sum up our past few months.

Things have been pretty crazy since April in the Hart house.

• In May I finished up the course work for my masters in Occupational Therapy. I "graduated" but still have 6 months of Fieldwork and a board exam to take before I am officially finished. I started Fieldwork today so was blessed with a couple of months to travel with BJ and take care of some stuff around the house.

My parents and I after graduation!

• BJ has been traveling quite a bit for work. He was in Washinton D.C. for two weeks so his mom joined him for Mother's Day and then I got to come out for a few days. D.C. was nice as always- sorry no pics!


• I feel that this next bit of information deserves much more than a bullet.... On May 13th we lost my Dear Aunt Wynette to a battle with liver cancer. She was a wonderful woman. She always seemed to be the glue that held my Dad's side of the family together. Family was such a priority to her. She was a blessing to everyone she encountered.

My aunt is the one beside me on the left side. This picture was taken at my cousin, Dayme's wedding last summer!

We loved her so much. She will be deeply missed.

As we drove home from the funeral, we witnessed the most beautiful west texas sunset and knew that she was smiling down on us, enjoying her father in Heaven!

• In the mist of all of this we decided to put our house on the market. Much to our suprise the house sold in just 7 days. So we quickly found another to move into. We close this weekend, June 26th. We will be ready for visitors soon! Lots of cook-outs at the Hart's to come!


• BJ was working out in Minneapolis for the last couple of weeks. Luckily he was working with a great co-worker, his friend, Barry. So, I drove to Amarillo to visit some friends and then flew out to Minneapolis with Judy, Barry's wife to spend some time with BJ. We had a great time. Our hotel was across the street from the Mall of America so we got some good tax free shopping in. We went fishing on Sat morning, caught 44 fish in 2 1/2 hours. After a nap, we conquered the amusement park in the Mall of America. It exceded our expectations. Sunday BJ and I went for a wonderful run around one of the beautiful lakes in the area. It was so beautiful there. Too bad the winters are brutal. Sunday night we went to this awesome little pub in downtown Minni. On the roof they had Lawn Bowling. So much fun. My grandparents live in Wisconsin. I have not seen them since 2000. So I rented a car and headed over to give them a visit. It was so nice to see them again. We had a nice time. My Grandad is 97!

Ava, Adelynn and Will hanging out at my parents gym. These are my two best friend's precious children. I love these kids and evey moment I get to spend with them!

Judy had the "catch of the day" at least a 3lb Bass!

BJ lawn bowling at Britts Pub....fun little local hang out!
