Patterson Family Session- Denton,TX

I met Ashley through my sister-in-law and I had the chance to meet up with her and her precious family. Hutt and I drove out to meet them Saturday and before we met up with them we got a chance to explore UNT. It is so nice! We explored north of campus a little bit and ate at a Mac-and-Cheese Emporium. It was so much fun!

This session was so much fun with these energetic girls! Hutt and I had the best time with this family!

I'm going to be an AUNT!!!

My sister Sarah and her husband Ryan are expecting their first child in late July and my brother Jordan and his wife Erin are expecting their first child late august! Everyone is so excited to be having 2 babies around soon! We have been waiting a long time for one of them to announce they were pregnant, but no one expected it was going to be so close together! We couldn't be more thrilled!!!!! My brother and his wife found out a few weeks ago that they were having a boy and we were so excited! My sister decided she wanted to have a gender reveal party to announce what they were going to have. We had the party yesterday at my parents house and my grandma came over and Ryan's parents drove all the way up from San Antonio. We were also able to skype with Ryan's grandparents and facetime with my Jordan in Cali! It was so much fun!

In our family being Irish is something to be proud of and celebrate! So having the party the weekend of St. Patricks day made for the perfect Irish themed party.

Most of us were sure it was going to be a girl! Everyone was shocked when we saw the blue balloons. But I am so excited to be having 2 nephews! They are going to best buds at just one month apart!

 

Friday Funday

Today marks the 77th annual cotton bowl. This one is probably the most exciting of all, because my beloved Johnny Football and the Aggies are taking the field against my families beloved Sooners. This has been a very exciting year to be an Aggie as there is a lot to be proud of. Our first season in the SEC we went 10-2 when most said we couldn't handle the big move. We beat #1 ranked Alabama at their stadium, Johnny Manziel won the Heisman as the first freshman to do so. The cherry on top would be to win tonight's Cotton Bowl match up against OU.

I get to go to the game with my husband, brother and brother in law. I am so excited! My parents got 4 tickets but unfortunately they had to be in New Mexico for a wedding this weekend, so we are gladly taken their spots!

Happy 2013

I have always thought it was important to make New Year's Resolutions. Goals are important. But I had never thought about how much more important it is to reach your goals. It's just good for the soul. This year I have many goals that I am very excited about. They may be hard but I can't wait to start working towards them.

Happy New Year!!
