Procrastination

I know, I know. It's been far too long since I last updated my blog. The truth is, I'm a major procrastinator. I thought I was done with procrastination when I graduated from college and was finished with doing homework, but man did I fool myself. Whether it's procrastinating getting ready for work, doing laundry, or balancing the checkbook, I tend to wait until the very last minute to do things. Why do I do that? I'm trying hard to work on my procrastination problem. We'll see if it improves. Posting a blog has been in the back of my mind for a while but I just kept putting it off. Now that I actually want to post a blog, we don't have an internet connection at the condo so this blog post, unfortunately, will be pictureless since I'm posting from my work computer.

We actually did a bunch of fun things in February. First, we were invited to go to a Houston Rockets game by our sweet friends, the Murrays. A bunch of us from church went to the game and had our very own suite stocked with yummy food and drinks.

Toward the end of February, Matt and I went on a weekend road trip with our good friends, Michael and Laura Simpson. We started off by driving to Austin where we toured the State Capital, the University of Texas, and later had some delicious Mexican food for dinner. That night we went to San Antonio and stayed with the Simpson's good friends, Karen and Byron. Saturday we went to lunch at Rudy's "Worst BBQ in TX." This slogan is seriously posted on the sign but I must say, despite the description, it was really good BBQ! We spent the rest of our day visiting the Alamo and the Riverwalk, which was GORGEOUS! I've heard many people talk about how pretty the Riverwalk is, but I just never understood how beautiful it was until I saw it. We had such a great time walking around the river and enjoying the view. We ate dinner (more Mexican, of course) and capped off the evening with dessert at The Landing, a really fun jazz club where we saw the Jim Cullum Jazz Band perform. These guys have been performing at the Landing since the 1960's. They were spectacular.

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Houston Rodeo. That night I got off work late so we didn't get to see the Livestock Show, but we saw part of the rodeo and Rascal Flatts perform. As you can imagine, Matt was ecstatic because he really likes the Rascal Flatts. We're going back tomorrow with our good friends, the Kisers and the Odoms, to see the Livestock Show.

That's what we've been up to lately. A few weeks ago, Matt joined an indoor soccer team so he's been training for that. He scored a goal during his first game! He joined toward the end of the season, so he's considering joining the summer league as well. I'll try to post pictures later.

Matt and I are going to Pensacola for a long Easter weekend and we couldn't be more excited! We haven't been back since Christmas so the trip is long overdue. Just a few more weeks!!
