Wicked

My night with Wicked!

My friends Celesten and Amanda....Amanda's Dad is the one who was able to get us the tickets. Greatness.

Celesten and me with two of the main characters, 'Nessarose' and 'Fiyero'. (Don't remember their real names...they are married though.)

For my birthday this year Tim bought us tickets to see the musical "Wicked". Let me just say that Tim knew how much I would love this gift, and he knew how much he would most likely not enjoy this gift. So....big, big brownie points for Tim!

The night was wonderful. We got all dressed up, had a nice dinner, and then enjoyed 3 hours of theatrical music bliss. My sister, Tami has been telling me for over a year that I needed to see this particular musical. So, I must thank her for even pointing me in that direction. Otherwise, I wouldn't have talked about it so much, and Tim wouldn't have known that I would love to see it live.

It was great. Music was powerful and moving. Characters were deep and pulled me in. Big, long notes held at the close of just about each song. Great night. Great birthday.

Texas Bluebonnets

One of the many great things about living in Texas is the beautiful Bluebonnet flowers that spring up every April. I joined the masses and headed over to this great field that is topped off by an old cemetary and beautifully aging trees. The boys had a great time in the bluebonnets, Jordan reminding us that it is against the law to pick them. Then we wandered through the cemetary , looking at the names and dates on each headstone, which ended up being a really fascinating experience for both of them. Anyway....I digress....here is our experience in the beautiful spring weather here in North Texas.....

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful day! Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends. We did not get to the cards this year, so this will have to do.

The boys had a great time. We spent a lot of quality family time together and have enjoyed every minute of it. We will be travelling from here on out for the next week, so.....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Love,
The Bournes

Welcome The Holidays

The Lights of Legacy at The Shops of Legacy was a great way to welcome this Holiday Season. We went down to see the lighting of the tree last night. We heard great Christmas tunes, saw some fun Holiday characters, made crafts, watched the tree light up, and ate the most delicious pizza EVER! ( The new pizza place is Fireside Pies and is right beside Fox Sports Grill if you ever get down there!)

Our friends, Patrick & Raquel Russell and Sonya & Nick Terrell were there with us. We also joined up with Jessica Strait and her girls, and Monica and Melanie. It was a great night!

I am so ready for Christmas!!!!!!

Bahamas

Our sweet friends, Ty & Kelly Greneaux, invited us to join them on a trip to the Bahamas. Ty won this trip through his company, and with Tim being the Web Designer for him, we were invited to join in on the winnings. I cannot begin to tell you how beautiful this place was.

The Atlantis Resort, Paradise Island, Bahamas. In one word: paradise.

Here a few pics to take you where we were blessed to go and relax. Be refreshed. Enjoy each other. And that is just what we did.

Fall Is Here

Hello everyone! It has been a very long time since I have posted anything. Wow! A lot has happened in two months. With school starting for Jordan, a new "to do" list has been added to life. He absolutely adores school and we are so thankful for that.

Genesis Metro Church has been such a blessing to us these past few months. Our lives are greatly enriched because God put us on this path. Our family is blessed beyond measure by the family of believers we live life with.

Tim and I just returned from a wonderful trip to the Atlantis Resort, Paradise Island, Bahamas. Ty & Kelly Greneaux won a trip through the supplier who supports the garage door business they own and they invited us to join them. It was incredible! I will write more about that and post pics in a later post. I don't think I will ever be "wow-ed" again. In short, this place was breathtaking.

For today, I give you fall pics of the boys. They are growing so fast. Jordan continues to get taller and Titus is losing that baby look altogether. I can't believe it. Where is time going? I wish it would slow down, but from what I have been told, it only goes quicker each year.

Love to all of you.
