Brian's Big Day....a week late!

Brian celebrated his 26th birthday on August 31st. He was really lucky to have the chance to celebrate his birthday 4 times. We went to Gloria's with my side of the family, ate quesadillas at Brian's parents house with his side of the family, celebrated with close friends at Mi Cocina, and ended the celebrations at the last pre-season Dallas Cowboys game. He was very celebrated! Here is the gang (minus one couple) from Mi Cocina. 

Last Thursday night, I treated Brian to a Cowboys game. The best part of the game (other than the awesome seats) was the fact that Stephen McGee played the entire game. Brian and Stephen were friends at A&M and it was fun to see him play such a great game. 

This picture was actually taken by one of my co-workers. During the game I looked at a group of people walking up the aisle and realized I recognized one of them, it was Julie, the 5th grade teacher at my school. She was sitting 4 rows in front of Brian and I....so random! Another fun part of the game was being on the "Kiss Cam". We looked up and saw our faces on the huge screen. I almost didn't recognize myself because it was so unexpected. We got a lot of text messages from people that were at the game that saw us on the screen. The best comment was from the CEO of Brian's company! :) 

View from our seats

It still is crazy to think that we have been in this for just over a year. Marriage has been such a blast and we continue to be blown away by the blessing the Lord has given us. When I look at the man I am married to I am just filled with such joy because I know without a doubt that his number one desire is to pursue the Lord. It is so exciting to sit and talk about the way we want to live our lives and the things we want to do together. He has such a passion for living his life with purpose and desiring to follow full hearted after the Lord. I am so excited to see where life leads us over the next year. Happy Birthday baby! I love you :).
