grandma and grandpa hunt

My Grandma and Grandpa Hunt both passed away recently.  My grandpa died and my grandma joined him in heaven 20 days later!  I am so grateful I got to see them and spend time with both of them when I was in Utah last month.  It was such a special experience to be in the temple with them and the rest of my dad's family for my cousin's wedding.  I will never forget that feeling, nor will I forget all the memories I have of them!  I love them and I am so grateful for the amazing plan of salvation.  Families are forever.

the last time i saw my grandparents.  love that me and grandpa kept our sunnies on.

i flew down to california with shayna and my parents when my grandma was first diagnosed with cancer.

my cousin's wife hannah made this!  

"be loving sweet and kind" was my grandma's mantra.  such a special lady.

south padre island

Have I mentioned we are just 90 mins from the beach?  Definitely taking advantage.  Padre Island is a small strip of land that runs along the cost of Texas.  We hit up South Padre Island on Sunday celebrating TJ's birthday!  The water is super warm, the waves are pretty small, but you have to watch out for jellyfish.  Luckily no one was stung this time!  And here's an overload of beach pictures:

Padre Island is that long little strip of land.  We drive over the bridge at Port Isabel to get there.  Since we're way down by Mexico. :)

watching the boys play frisbee while laying out.  i love the beach.  and i'm liking this mint nail polish for summer!

hey babe, let's just hop on those jet skis and ride away into the sunset.

hair in my face! and gotta love dustin's v-neck/farmer tan. we're working on that.

trevor kept throwing food at the sea gulls and they would catch it every time!  he is the bird man.

cute tj & emily

the dude squad

they crack me up.

fourth of july

Fourth of July 2013 started out on a low note.  I was in a car accident.  No one was hurt!  But it was still a major buzz kill!  I was backing out of a parking spot and someone was driving too fast and hit me from behind.  There were big trucks on both sides of me so I didn't see him and I was going way slow!  Unfortunately, the person backing up usually gets blamed.  Just my luck.  Still dealing with the insurance stuff bla bla, such a pain!  But everyone is a crazy driver here!  Luckily the damage wasn't too bad, my back bumper is just a little banged up.

ANYWAY, then we had a bbq with the whole office and then all the guys played softball!  It was so fun watching and hanging out with all the wives.  It was a perfect summer evening, and we even saw some fireworks.

i love these girls! little parker was trying to grab my necklace in this pic - he has a thing for necklaces and hair.

texas fun

It was nice being in Utah for a few weeks, but it was sooo nice coming back home!  Reunions with your love are the best.  Dustin was so sweet and romantic about it too - he got a haircut, bought me flowers and my favorite blue bell ice cream, and took the next day off so we could just be together!  I am one lucky girl!

When I came back to Texas, the office had moved to Mission so that's where we are now!  If you're wondering where that is, it's basically Mexico.  I'm serious, I think the border is like 10 minutes from where we live.  It feels more like Mexico than Texas here.  Hot, humid, palm trees, 80% of the cars have Mexican plates, and 99.9% of the people here speak Spanish.  Some speak English as well.  Should be a reason for me to practice my Spanish, but for some reason I kind of just get annoyed that no one speaks English, I mean we're still in America people!  Ok enough ranting.  Our apartment is really nice, we have a nice pool here, and we're in a pretty nice area, considering.  We are super close to Wal-mart, HEB (kind of like Harmons), Target!, an outlet mall, and tons of restaurants.  And gas here is pretty cheap.

As always, we have fun wherever we are!  Just enjoying another summer adventure. :)

schlitterbahn!  a big water park on padre island.  pretty sweet because you never have to get out and stand in lines for slides.  there is a huge lazy river that you float around in that all the slides are connected to.  we went with another couple and all the single dudes here! oh my, and after we went and ate at this mexican restaurant that was right on the water. gorgeous.

sometimes i surprise him with cool treats.  mtn dew is his fav.

chewy!  my friend emily's dog.  

aw just look at that face!

emily had her golden birthday! 24 on the 24th! we celebrated by going to bj's and getting pizookies. i die for pizookies.

vivint gives back. every year every office does a day of service.  we picked up trash at a local park.  but mostly this is just me checking out dustin's butt instead of picking up trash haha.

hey stud!

we like each other
