Astros fans in Cincinnati!
The Spring school semester ended in mid-May, and we have been celebrating Colin not having classes by keeping busy and traveling! Over Memorial Day weekend, we went to Cincinnati to visit our friend Amy and to see the Astros play the Reds at the Great American Ballpark. Although the game was pretty terrible (the Astros lost 16-2--ouch!) , the stadium was gorgeous and we had a good time actually getting to watch some live Texas sports! After the game, Amy had a cookout at her parents' house with some of her Cincinnati friends, so we celebrated Memorial Day the American way with hotdogs and hamburgers. We were even introduced to a new sport--
Cornhole! (check it out if you don't know what it is, it is really fun)
Then, in June, we headed to Texas where I was a bridesmaid in my best friend Cara's wedding. She was a gorgeous bride and we were so happy that we could be there to celebrate her big day with her! Cara also was a bridesmaid in our wedding almost two years ago, so it was very special to be able to reciprocate that experience and stand by her side at her wedding. We got to see several of our friends from Baylor as well, which was very good since we don't get to see our college friends very often anymore now that we are far away. The same week, we also worked registration for the Texas Music Teacher's Assocaition Annual Convention, so any spare moment we had from wedding business we spent with our other TMTA friends! I have worked this convention for seven years now, and this was Colin's second, and we always have a good time seeing our friends from the Baylor School of Music who also work with us.
All in all, it has been a busy but satisfying start to our summer, and now we look forward to relaxing! To see a full album of the photos from our Summer trip, click
