April 23rd!!

Hi friends! My friend Caroline put a video from our engagement session on her blog. It's lots of fun, so go check it (and her) out....

Caroline Fontenot's Blog

We had a good weekend. Friday we just hung out with friends and then Saturday J and I met my parents in Austin to check out a wedding venue. The place is called Camp Lucy, and we all fell in love with it instantly. Sooooo.....

We have a date now! Our wedding will be April 23, 2011 at Camp Lucy. Here's a pic of our beautiful venue. We cannot wait!

It will be Easter weekend (Easter is 4/24), so some friends may not be able to make it. But, that was the only Saturday left in April, and we do not want our guests to melt at our outdoor wedding!

Lots to do at work this week, so I will do my best to blog again in a few days!

Hook 'em Blake

This post is dedicated to my dear friend Blake who is leaving NASA to get an MBA from UT. Since the day I started at NASA, Blake has been a big brother to me and we have been great friends. If you know Blake, then you know how crazy, off the wall, and incredibly awesome he is. It is definitely going to be sad to not have him around to talk to at work. The good news is he will not be far away at all, and it's another excuse to go visit Austin!

Blake, I wish you all the best in Austin, and I know that you will kick butt at UT! You will be missed!

Sorry it's been a while! I was at Kennedy Space Center for work and then it was a jam packed weekend. I went to a bridal expo (overwhelming, but fun) with my momma and then jason and I went to see wicked (SO GOOD). We also had a scavenger hunt for my friend Blake who is leaving NASA and heading to UT for his MBA (hook 'em). I will miss him big time. He is a brother to me.

I am going to keep this short because I am exhausted, but tomorrow the amazing Caroline Fontenot is taking our engagement pictures. She's wonderful, and you all should check her out (www.carolinefontenot.com).

For all of you that love music, download "Dog Days are Over" by Florence and the Machines

I will leave you with a cute picture of penny, because she is cute.

New Name

So I have had the blog one day, and I already changed the name. Equal props to Jason and Jehon for both coming up with the name Pamelot individually. Pamelot.blogspot.com was already taken, so pam-e-lot it is.

I just got back from dinner and a movie with my good friend Sara. We saw Eclipse. Non twilight fans, go ahead and judge us, but I don't care. 'Twas wonderful. I thought the wigs on some of the actors looked pretty ridiculous (seriously, your budget is huge!), but I still loved every second of it. Makes me want to re-read the books. Speaking of books, for those of you that I haven't told already, you have to read the Hunger Games. They are such good books (guys like them too! they aren't lovey dovey like Twilight books, but they are still in the Young Adult section). I need to pre-order the final book of the series (it comes out end of August). You will not be disappointed, and the books are total page turners, so they are enjoyable for non-readers.

Hope everyone had a good 4th of July. Jason and I had no plans at all, but it ended up being awesome. The weather was great, and we could see the Friendswood fireworks show from Jason's back patio. We relaxed in the backyard for a few hours and played guitar. We both haven't played in a really long time, so it was fun to pick it back up.

I got a request for more patio pictures, so here you go!

Hellooooooo out there

Hi everyone! (or maybe just the 5 people that end up reading this)

Well, I've decided to start a blog. I would have started one months ago, but I couldn't think of a name for the life of me! Jason suggested this one, and I am just unable to be creative in this arena, so it is what it is.

I will try my best to blog frequently especially since this is a very exciting time in my life (Jason and I recently got engaged), and it would be great to document everything. Wedding planning and being in charge of an upcoming shuttle flight for my group may make things a little bit difficult, but I will try.

We are working on a wedding website, so I will link it here once we have it ready. Other than that, it's been a very relaxing Independence Day weekend. Mary and Andy are out of town, so Jason and I are taking care of their Yorkie pups, Cash and Paisley, which are our puppy's brother and sister. They are hilarious to watch. They constantly cycle between fighting over toys, chasing bugs, and napping. Gosh it must be great to nap that much. Here's a pic of Penny.

On Friday night, Jason and I met some great friends for dinner at BRC in town. It was delicious, and so great to see David, Emily, Jackie, and Megan. Let's do it again soon guys!

When Jason was mowing his lawn today he found this massive spider. It was the size of his palm! Just thought I would share because it is terrifying. Not sure if it's poisonous, but Jason killed it, so that's good (sorry Jackie).

I'll include one more picture of Jason's beautiful backyard. We just put the patio in not long ago!
