See it to Believe it!!

Last night, Kris's department at Schlitterbahn had the opportunity to ride the sky coaster. I had to go, because I never thought Kris would do it!! Not only did he do it, but he rode it twice! The managers had to go first. They went up 180 feet in the air, and then came flying down!! They say you can reach up to 80 mph while swinging...I believe it! It was nice to see the kids that work for him have fun! Everyone had a great time and it was topped off with Dippin Dots and Slushies!

The 3 Managers getting ready to go first!

Them taking the walk up to the lift.

At this point, they are no longer on the ground and ready for lift off! Sorry it is dark!

There is no turning back now...they are the small round spot at the top, 180 feet above the ground!

Now Kris is flying!

This picture is dark, but in the background (below them) is the Master Blaster!

All smiles, no vomit!!

Round 2!

This the quick backward lift up the Sky Coaster. Kris said he could see all of New Braunfels at the top!

Hello Dolly!

I know it has been a while since Hurricane Dolly was here, but I finally got the pictures on the computer! These pictures are of Dolly moving into the New Braunfels area. We ended up getting a very much need 3-6 inches!! I can say our first hurricane experience was a good one!

Hello Again!

Well, things at the Armes' house has been busy. Today is the last day that the park is open till 8. Then they are open till 6 for a week, then only weekends for about a month. I am sure Kris is ready for a break! But I must say, his first season as gone smoothly! I can't believe how fast this summer has gone by, or that we have been gone from Lubbock for almost 6 months!!
My parents came down a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to see them, since we haven't seen them since they moved us down here! We are looking forward to going to the lake, now that there will be a break between summer season and Christmas season! I bet our Seadoo needs a bath!!
Our friends Dustin and Alisha came down last week. We had a nice visit with them, and got to try out some new restaurants that are pretty good!!
My work is going good. The other OTR that I work with also graduated from Texas Tech. Starting in September, we have to COTA's that will start and they have a son that plays for UT. We are planning on decorating our gym in Tech stuff before they start. My Paw-Paw has given me a lot of his leather work done in Tech, that we will put up all over the gym! I just hope Tech is what they should be this year...and beats UT!!! Well, I hope everyone has a great rest of the summer!

House Pics!

Our new Red Oak!

Our living room!

I love our entry!

My KITCHEN!! I love it too!!

Our bedroom! Yes, that bench is so Bode can get up on our bed! Our bed comes up to my belly button!

Our bathroom. The tub is great!

Our front guest bedroom!

Our back guest bedroom!

Okay, I finally have time to put our pictures on here. These are some pictures of the inside of our house. There is still decorating to be done and of course furniture to be bought! But it will work for now!!

Quick Note!

I hope everyone in doing well. Kris is wrapping up his last month of open season! He will then get to take it easy for a couple of weeks, then its back to preparing for the Christmas season and next summer! Not to brag about my husband, but he has been a really big hit at Schlitterbahn. The kids think he is the coolest boss, and the "upper" people are amazed at how well he can manage! He is gifted with that skill. Schlitterbahn has a volleyball tournament during the summer. Kris plays on the Foods team (each department has their own team). I think it is funny that the kids are shocked at how high Kris can jump for his age!!! I knew he would be the perfect person for the job!

I have decided to take a full time position at the nursing home I am at now. I love it! It is huge and even as an Alzheimer's unit, which I love working with! I will finish out my contract with my traveling company, then start full time October 6th. (If any of you therapists want to travel, I highly recommend Jackson Therapy Partners!) It as been more than a week since I have filled up with gas!! It is amazing how long your tank can last if you are just working a couple of miles from home! Well, keep a look out...I have been requested to post pictures of the inside of our house, so as I clean today, I will take pictures and try to post them tomorrow!

Rain pictures!

Raining off of our porch! Our flowers love it!

Cool view of the sky in the background, along with our backyard.

RAIN!!!

Our ground cover was needing rain! Hopefully it will spread now!


The outcome of a great shower and freshly mowed grass!!


The front of our house after the showers!

We had several months of zero rain, which was shocking to me! We moved from Lubbock to the area I thought got lots of rain and what do you know!?!? Lubbock started getting lots of rain! As you can see, we have added some plants to our front and backyard. Ken did a lot of digging and it was in perfect time, because for like the next week we had showers almost everyday! Great job Ken! Now, we have hit a dry spell again, but I enjoyed the rain while it lasted!!
