Go Back to Hawaii- MODIFIED & COMPLETED

Devin and I have been to Hawaii twice and absolutely LOVED it, by far the best vacation we have ever been on. We really wanted to go back this year but with selling our current house, moving into an apartment, and building our new house we have been so busy so returning this year isnt a possibility....sooo....Devin said since we cant go back to Hawaii, I will get yall season passes to Hawaiian Falls Waterpark (so not the same! LOL but we really enjoyed going the entore summer)

Go Back to School- COMPLETED

This was a very important list item for me. I havent taken any classes since Ronelyse has been born. It's so easy to get "busy" with all the other things in life but I set a goal and I want to accomplish it, I dont care how long it takes, as long as it gets done. The reason going to college and getting my degree is so important to me, is because there has been no one on either side of my family, that has their college degree. Im talking out of 200+ family members, I want to be the first!!! This is for me and all of my family, past, present, and future!!!!! I took 2 classes this Summer and have 3 to take in the Fall and I will have my Associates Degree. Then I will get to "walk" my first stage EVER in May!!

Go Tailgating- COMPLETED

Oh wow....tailgating was so much fun. A group of us and 20 of our closest friends decided to go to the Texas Rangers baseball game on Father's Day. We met in the parking lot 2 hours before game time, enjoyed some food, drinks, and great friends. We had so much fun that we considered skipping the game to continue tailgating. Enjoying this list item on Father's Day couldnt have been more perfect!!!!

Have a Slumber Party- COMPLETED

This weekend I had a last minute slumber party with some of my close friends...It was a total blast. We all brought our favorite junk food, we played Twister and Chardes, had a Pajama Contest, painted our nails, and shared stories. It was a fun experience, it had been years since any of us had done something like it and it was great sharing it with such a fun group of girls. Who said slumber parties only have to be for little girls...

 
 

Shoot a Gun- COMPLETED

I must say...this was super scary at the beginning, but after I fired my first shot, I wanted to keep going. We did it at Uncle David's ranch, he set up a target with a target sheet, then he set up 3 bottles with water to shoot at. It was me and Danny's first time ever, Mom had done it before while hunting with Dad, and of course Devin was the experienced one with his military background. We shot two 38 caliber revolvers, one of which was one of my Dad's old guns, so that had extra special meaning, I got to shoot one of his guns!!! This was a fun experience, crazy to hold something in your hands that is so dangerous and life threatening....

         

  

 

Participate in The Relay for Life Cancer Walk- COMPLETED

Although this wasnt something I did for the first time, I wanted to make sure that I did one this year!!! We decided to do it in the Valley this year so that our family members could be a part of it. The walk ended up being on Dad's actual birthdate, so we got to celebrate his 66th birthday that night!! It is such an experience to walk all night (from 6:30pm-6:30am) for the people who have lost their battle to cancer, for those that are still fighting, for the survivors, and for those who could possibly be effected in their future. Cancer is such an awful disease that effects young and old and is life changing for so many people. Dad lost his battle in after just 8 months of being diagnosed and had an 80% survival rate, you never know who will be effected and what the outcome will be. I just want him to know that I am helping them Fight to find a Cure!!! Every year I walk its for him, he had such strength, he was never afraid of it, and fought the disease hard, all with a smile on his face. We also walked in honor of our other friends and family that have been effected by Cancer....the disease NEVER sleeps, and the night of the Relay, neither did we!

Run a 5k- Completed

Last night we got to participated in the Firefly 5k Run. It was at night so everyone was decked out in light up, glow in the dark, neon, & crazy costumes. Most 5k's are ran early morning so this was so much fun, running in the dark and the only lights were every ones costumes & accessories. There were over 7000 runners, we saw children as young as 4yrs old and adults in their 70's running. All proceeds were donated to Children's Medical Center. Happy to say that our group ran the entire thing. Glad that Devin and the girls ran it with me as well as Vanessa, Nicole, & Carly. I am definitely going to try to run one every year!

Ride a Mechanical Bull- Completed

I'm not quite sure why I had never done this one before, but it was SO much fun. I ended up riding the Bull twice, first time I held on for 32 seconds and the second time for 13 seconds (think the guy recognized me 2nd time around and decided to crank it up lol) Several of my friends got to ride the Bull for the first time as well so it was definitely neat experiencing it with them.

Take Dance Lessons- Completed

We decided to go out with a group of our closest friends to Cowboys Red River in Dallas. The venue offers 2 hours of dance lessons on Friday nights, so we took advantage of that and tried to learn some country moves!!!! It was really fun and we were actually pretty good at it! We want to go back for sure!!

Take a Family Picture- Completed

This was something I wanted to do for sure. Its our first family picture with the four of us. It was alittle difficult getting Ronelyse to look at the camera guy but we managed to get a few good ones!!!! I hope that we continue to take a family photo at least once a year cause I said before....later on in life the pictures and the memories will be all that we have.
