I'm super excited that in just a few weeks I will be hitting the road and heading to the beautiful Texas Hill Country with the greatest road trip partner in the world. My friend Tracy and I are headed down to Lake LBJ for a fun filled Bachelorette weekend honoring our friend Sonya. I can't wait for the fun to begin.

Here is the house we are sharing with 25 other ladies. (I took a trip to Cabo with 14 of these ladies 4 years ago so it will be a little reunion)



I plan on spending most of my time here:



On the schedule for the weekend:

A crazy photography scavenger hunt for the trip down, a Friday night hot tub part, Saturday morning Bridal Shower brunch, Lots of hanging out in the pool and spending time on the lake, A Saturday evening Bachelorette Party with margaritas, tequila, and a fajita cook-out. I seriously can;t wait for this weekend.

We don't plan on committing any crimes during the weekend or driving off a cliff at the end and I doubt we will pick up anyone that look like Brad Pitt, but I know we will have a heck of a good time.

Maybe I should rent a convertible for the weekend?

Two years ago today was a huge day in the Miazga family. I like to call it "The Big Thaw". It was the day that we transfered two Embryo's back into my body with hopes and dreams that we would have a baby.

Here is what they looked like then....

And now....



Thank you Lord!!!!

Trip Report

We just got back form our trip to Seattle last night so I thought I would share a little trip report.

American Airlines to Seattle - Our flight left at 8:30pm. Thank the Lord the flight was not too full so we were lucky enough to have a full row to ourselves. Lots of room to spread out. Harper cried for an hour and half non stop. I became immune to the dirty look I received form other passengers and just did the best I could to get her to go to sleep. The flight attendants were some of the worst I have ever been around but this seems to be the norm at American Airlines.

We arrived in Seattle around midnight worn out and happy to be at the Courtyard Pioneer Square .

Wednesday was the service for Chris's dad and it was beautiful. After the service Harper and my Mom went back to the hotel while Chris and Iwent to his Dad's house and spent sometime with his family. We had a really nice time after a tough day. Below is a picture of us at the service.



On Thursday we headed to Pikes Place Market and made our way around downtown Seattle.




I even made a trip to the original Starbucks. By the way there is a Starbucks on EVERY street corner in this city. I have never seen a place is obsessed with Java. Where there is not a Starbucks then there is another coffee shop and where there is no coffee shop there is an "espresso shack" (a tiny portable building in a parking lot selling coffee).



On Friday we went to see the Lockes and fish ladder. Harper had a great time and enjoyed runnig around the lockes and the botanical garden.






Saturday morning we headed home back to Dallas but we first made a stop for breakfast at a place I saw on the Food Network. We stopped at Beth's to have one of their famous omelets. This baby was made with 6 eggs and we all three shared it.



Harper has two things she loved at the airport.

#1 Wearing her new Backpack/Leash



#2 the moving side walk at the airport.




American Airlines redeemed themselves by giving us two of the best flight attendants they have. These ladies were fabulous. They loved Harpy and even took her form me for about 30 min. She rode in first class while I flew coach. I also learned exactly how much Benadryl I need to give Harper to make her go to sleep and it made the flight home 1,000 easier then the flight to Seattle.

All in all we had a nice trip. Seattle is so gloomy and rainy that I would have a hard time living there, but when the sun is shinning the city is beautiful.

Thank you

Long time no Blog. I hate for this one to be sad so I will try my best to make it happy. Last week my father in law passed away unexpectedly after surgery that was meant to help my fight his cancer. It was a routine operation that ended in tragedy. Very sad for my husband and his family as we will really miss Ron. Instead of dwelling on sadness I wanted to take a moment to thank my Father In Law for a few things...

Thank you Ron.....

For giving my sweet husband patience. I'm pretty sure that is a personalty trait that he got from you. Chris is always calm and collected just like you and I thank you for that.

For teaching my husband to love the game of golf. We enjoy this sport as a family and every time we play Chris brings up a memory of you.

For loving my daughter. We had an amazing visit with you last May and will remember it forever.

For checking in on me during my pregnancy. Your kind words of encouragement meant allot to me.

For the great Christmas and Birthday gifts that always had a little hint on the card as to what was inside. I will miss playing that little game.

For sharing travel tips, sales ideas, and being a great Spades partner.

We love you and will miss you dearly.
