Great-Great Aunts

On July 17th, Addison, Lisa and I started off our weekend with a trip to Waco to introduce Addison to her Great-Great Aunts on my dad's side.  My Nannie passed away the November prior to Addison's arrival, but it is very important to me to let Addison experience as much of my Nannie as possible.  She was one of seven girls, and until her stroke in March of 2008, she too called Waco home.  Currently, all four of her remaining sisters live in Waco and what better way to capture the essence of Nannie than to be around these four amazing women who remind me so very much of her. 

I know my Nannie would have loved and adored Addison in the exact same way Annette, Oveta, Catherine and Geno did, and I am so glad that we were able to make the visit possible.  My Nannie was the most kind, thoughtful, Godly woman I have met and being around her sisters reminded me of that.  God has truly blessed our family with such a fantastic legacy of women.  Addison was a bit moody following the drive, but cooperated long enough for us to take a picture.  We have to go back soon to catch up with everyone.  In the mean time, we will stay connected on FaceBook.  We appreciated the hospitality and delicious food!

About Me

My photo
Our story began in 1997 during our sophomore and junior years of high school in Mineral Wells, Texas. Being the older siblings of sisters, we would occasionally have to provide transportation for the two girls, who happened to be friends. Monty and I became acquainted on one such drop off, and as they say the rest is history. Following graduation, Monty and I moved to College Station to attend Texas A&M and discover what the world had to offer. As luck would have it, our relationship continued to grow during our time in college, and Monty proposed in December 2003. Following a wonderful engagement, we were married on June 4, 2005. Following our honeymoon, we moved to San Antonio for Monty to work as a custom home builder and for me to begin my career as a CPA with a focus in audit. After three wonderful years in San Antonio, we said goodbye to all of our friends in July 2008 and made the move back to Mineral Wells where it all began for Monty to begin his own homebuilding business. We are very excited to see what the future holds and share those times with you....
