A new day!

A lot has happened in the Webb house hold over the past week. On Monday, we thought we were ready to buy a house. By Tuesday we were looking at a different one that we liked even better. On Thursday I "quit" my job and felt a taste of sweet freedom. That afternoon I started looking for something new! Friday I spent the day at the lake. Saturday, we found more houses... I think you get the picture!

So the update is this... We have found several houses that we have liked and are waiting for that moment, Seredipity, if you will, when we walk in to a house and know that it has to be! We are going to take another go around at some houses today... I am excited!

As for the Job situation, I want to teach! I am going through the steps of getting an alternative certification this summer and hope to start teaching in the fall. It might be hard to get a teaching job, so all your prayers are more than welcome! Luckily, I have a few contacts on some school boards that I hope can help me out. If you know anyone or are someone with a connection let me know!

Brad is crazy busy himself... Two-Five and a summer full of youth ministry are going to allow for God's strength to really show through him. Prayer is also welcome here! God is so good and we are ready for a big summer!

Speaking of Two-Five... we have some new shirt designs up on our website and you should definitely go check them out! http://www.25cloth.com

Out on the Prowl

Well here it is, the House Hunt update! We found the absolutely most perfect house we could ever ask for. It has everything we ever dreamed of. The master bedroom is like its own suite and it has a jacuzi tub.... The Kitchen is complete with lots of counter space, a double oven, granite counter tops and an island... Here it is!

The Master bath

The Beautiful Kitchen

Curb Appeal!

We were just about to sign the contract when suddenly a loud beeping noise scared the living daylights out of me and I awoke from this peaceful dream!

In so many words, we are still on the prowl... no house yet and as we discussed today, we are happy to take our time...

Why is this one of the Hardest things to Remember...

Jer 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jer 29:12
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Jer 29:13
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Brad and I have been looking for a new house. We have been renting this past year and our lease is up in July..."God, lead us to the house of Your dreams for us! May we honor you as you guide us to and bless us in the perfect house."

Hopefully I will have more on the house hunt later!!!

Reviews Please....

Well it is that time of year again and all of our favorite shows are coming to an end! :( This is always a bitter sweet time for me as I really do look forward to watching my shows every week. However, I think it is necessary to take a break during the summer months to be outside as much as possible...

One Tree Hill: Lucas what are you thinking? You are coaching a great game and then you attack a student, forget about Lindsey, she is old news! I realize that the show is trying to make us all think that you and Brooke are going to hook back up again, but Peyton is your girl. Peyton + Lucas = One Tree Hill drama= The show stays exciting.... Plus, telling her how much you hate her and wishing she had never come back just proves your love to her!

American Idol: Was there really any doubt that there would be a David & David final two? You could tell by Sayesha's performance, (Which was great) that she knew the future too. I think she is great and will most likely get some kind of record deal, but the David combo was in the cards from the beginning. I didn't even get to watch as often as I normally do and I knew it was coming.

America's Next Top Model: I think the judges finally got it right! This was the first season where my favorite two girls were at the top. You had the classic Top Model with Anya and a beautiful full figured girl with Whitney. Both took great pictures, both are great with people and the camera loves every angle of them. However, when they showed the final cover girl shots I knew that Whitney was going to take the cake. I think I would have been happy with either one of them winning, but with Whitney being the under dog and the "normal" sized female, I was very happy she won.

Office: Toby leaves and Holly steps in... Hilarious, the whole scene where her and Micheal were taking apart the chair and talking in "Yoda" voices was so great! Kevin makes a perfect special person and he thinks he is going to B*NG Holly. Poor Jim, Phylis planned the perfect party for his engagement surprise and then it was ruined by the proposal to Angela. Pam needs the ring! But I am glad to see Dwight and Angela back together?

Grey's Anatomy: Meredith what is your problem? McDreamy wants you and you want him but he is with Rose. Make it happen already. Callie and Hann need to knock it off, I stopped watching ER because of the gay/lesbian content and I really don't want to stop watching Grey's. Yang stop cleaning and throwing a pitty party for yourself, you are better than that. Alex, what are you doing, She is married! And maybe try to believe and listen to Izzy when she tells you something. George, could not have created a better character for you. You are my favorite! Bailey, take some time off and save your marriage! I realize that if the producer used my suggestions here that there would no longer be drama in the show, so really i just don't want the gay/lesbian stuff on there.

How I met your Mother: All I can say is that this show is brilliant! I wonder when we are going to meet the mother?

Anyways thats all I have for now! Most of the above opinions are exaggerated and I am not a critic in the least sense. So, really I just enjoy watching the shows even if it is bad for me!

Three important things to remember...

1. Always kiss me goodnight (for Brad only)
2. Say I love you as much as possible (for spouse or loved one)
3. Laugh until it hurts...

These are three things that I like to remember to accomplish everyday/night! But the most important one is to talk with Jesus all day long, because without him, the joy that I find in my three important things quickly fades. I love you, Lord for the amazing ways you have blessed my life, from my family that helped raise me to my husband that keeps me strong. Thank you for the joy you bring me when my three most important things are remembered!

What are your three most important things? Let me know and then you can post it on your blog and ask all your friends too!

The Dillard's are finally hitched!

Dani and I were roommates, along with Caylin, and we always wondered when David would finally pop the question. Well he did last August! In fact it was the morning after my wedding when he took her up in a hot air balloon and asked her to be his wife... so sweet... I was awoken by an early text message the first morning of my honeymoon by the wonderful news. I screamed and then I cried because I wanted to be there with her to celebrate, but my honeymoon was slightly more important! Anyways, this past weekend Dani and David tied the knot in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. A beautiful beach wedding, with some of my favorite friends from Baylor it was the perfect little reunion and of course an amazing wedding! Everything that Dani plans goes beyond comparrison to anything else. She was our social chair for Chi O and the formal that she planned on the Suspension Bridge was nothing short of incredible. So I had pretty high expectations for her wedding and once again she blew me away. Our bridesmaid dresses were bright red and beautiful and our flowers were white with a blue ribon. The groomsmen had on tan suite with the most handsome turqouise/teal tie. The wedding started off with a bang when Dani made the entrance of a life time as her dad walked her down the beach and up to the pavillion (over looking the beach), there was not a dry eye insight. The reception was on the lawn underneath the tent, and their first dance was to the precious song by Jack Johnson, "Better Together." Brad and I had such a great time celebrating the newly weds with all our friends from school! Congratulations Dillard's, you two are absolutely beautiful people!The First DanceFlower Girl's Center Pieces at the reception Me and Caylin, Roommates for life! The Bride, Bridesmaids and Flowergirl! Below is the groomsman's attire!
Brad and me! The Beautiful, Happy Bride!

Engagement, Lake, Food, Sleep and Longhorns!!!

Well, I have a quick minute before I run and catch the next plane out of town, But I wanted to tell you about the lake!

Brad and I left Sunday night to meet up with my family in Austin. My Big Brother Alex lives there and decided to pop the question with his lovely little dame Lane. She said Yes! I am so excited for the two of them, they are absolutely perfect for each other... And I get to be a bridesmaid! Love it! and Love them! Anywhoo, seeing the family was great and celebrating the engagement was just wonderful!

On to the Lake, The Arita's were so kind to let us stay in their gorgeous lake house for the week! SOOOO great! Brad and I really relaxed, no time schedule no work and lots of fun and laughter. We grilled out, we layed out and we paddle boated all over the lake... Sunscreen was applied! We had snacks galore, which was great for Brad and not so good for me! We slept in late and took naps, oh man it was great!

The last day we went golfing on this beautiful course that over looks the lake... Brad played and I drove the cart! I am still learning how to golf and so I didn't try the course because it was the fifth toughest in Texas. But it was still fun! We went out to dinner that night at Wildcatter Ranch, A delicious steak house. We had an appetizer, a salad, awesome hot bread and butter (Emily you will appreciate that) and then the steak and potatoes came out... We were stuffed! On our way out we stopped off the side of the road by some longhorns. They were so funny... It took us a while to get them to come over to us but when they did it was hilarious. In case you were wondering how to call a cow over to you, this is what we did: Claping, banging on the fence, yelling "come here", an occassional "SUEY", and the next thing you know they are in your face. Longhorns really have a hard time walking, see their horns are so heavy that their heads sway back and forth as they walk just to keep their balance. They will let you touch them (if you want) but again they are oblivious to the size of their horns, Watch your eyes! We fed them some nilla wafers and grass but they didn't want either... they wanted dinner. I guess there is some kind of feed that farmers/ranchers give to their cattle and what we had didn't even compare. Side note I should never feel like a cow for eating nillas because cows don't even like them.... But all the laughing and and hanging on the fence sure helped the food settle!

Well I am off again to my Best Friends Wedding! (great movie) Not to worry though, I am happily married and have no intention of stealing the groom!
