Hello and Happy Friday! Can’t believe it’s already Friday again…where does the time go? I have to work this weekend, so nothing too exciting will be going on around here, but that’s alright. Well, since I haven’t done a Friday Favorites post in practically forever, I thought I would sum up the past few weeks in a few of my favorite moments right now. So, without further ado, here are my favorites from the past week[s]…
5. Getting to spend some quality time with James’ family over Christmas. While we weren’t actually able to go home to the North Country, it was so so nice to have his family with us over the holidays. Gave me a chance to practice some of my cooking as well…haha. But seriously, we had a blast showing them around Dallas, and look forward to the next time we have visitors:)

4. Visiting the Dallas World Aquarium with James’ family. Seriously, one of the best aquariums I have been to—and I love aquariums. The rainforest feature was very cool, and allowed for more animals [like birds and monkeys] to be included in the tour. Very unique, and definitely worth a visit if you are ever in Dallas!

| Seriously…a waterfall! |
3. Samson’s first visit to the vet. This may sound like a strange one, but I was nervous to take him to the vet for the first time. I mean, what if he was really bad and tried to attack everyone? But, my fear was in vain. He was a very good boy, and even started purring when the vet pet him…definitely a keeper:)

2. Fort Worth Stockades. Another cool place we visited while James’ family was in town. I unfortunately didn’t take any pictures, but it was seriously such a cool place. It kind of looked like a replica of an Old Western cattle town, except for it wasn’t a replica. It was the actual town, restored of course, but it looked the same as it did years and years ago. It was neat to see all the old shops and restaurants, and imagine what life would have been like there 100 years ago.

1. Starting the New Year off right with a wonderful conference at Gateway Church. We were able to hear some amazing speakers, like Max Lucado and Rick Santorum, and were inspired to live a year of purpose in 2013. It was definitely a good way to refocus, and get the year off to a great start.
So, there’s my condensed list from the past couple of weeks. What are some fun things you’ve done so far in 2013?
Hope you all have a great Friday, and an even better weekend! God Bless:)
