Over a Month... so sorry!

So it has been a month since I have posted (bad Diane!) but we have been VERY busy in the (almost) 6 weeks!

- Ben went on a 5 day hiking trip with a friend from Texas A&M over his spring break to Buffalo River, Arkansas. They hiked a total of 40 miles in 5 days! It was sad to have him gone but he really enjoyed the break from School.

- Then two days after Ben got home, 3 visitors arrived at our doorstep. Seth and two of his friends (Doug & Luke) from Calvin came down for their Spring break. They arrived on Saturday, then we all went out to dinner and just relaxed. While they were here they were able to visit Austin, we watched LOTS of basketball, and were able to sample some of the local food. Just before they left we all went to Houston to Uncle Doug and Aunt Shannon's for a BBQ and swim in the pool.

- We have also had some very nice neighbors move in. They are bit older than us and have two little girls but we are really enjoying hanging out with them. We had a picnic at the park with them on Saturday and then had a big cookout before the Final Four games.

- We also went to a Houston Rocket's game in the last 6 weeks. Ben's uncle got some GREAT tickets from his work so Ben and I were able to go with him and Ryan. What a fun experience!

Otherwise, not much else going on. Ben is preparing for his last 4 weeks of the semester. Did you read that? 4 WEEKS! And Ben's first year of grad school is done. His summer plans aren't falling into place like we had hoped so pray that he finds a summer job or that he is able to start his master's thesis this summer.

Work is going good for me, it is in full swing with today being opening day of baseball season.

This weekend is Easter so we are headed to Houston to spend it with Ben's aunt and uncle and we are excited to be able to spend the "holidays" with family.

Also can you believe that in 7 weeks, Ben and I will be married a year already? It's crazy! We are trying to think of a fun "vacation" to celebrate. How does Michigan sound to you guys? :) haha. Don't worry we will back this summer!

Much love to all you!
