Welcome to MIAMI!!!

Where do I begin?! This summer I had the opportunity to go to Miami with my 2 best friends from high school. We had a BLAST!!! My friend Jessica coaches club volleyball and they had nationals in Miami. Kara and I were lucky that she asked the 2 of us to tag along. So here I go off to Miami.

Me, Kara and Jessica at Miami Ink. I went in and talked to the guys about getting my tatoo but it didn't workout. I REALLY wanted to say I had gotten it at Miami Ink but...my love for swimming took over. I can't imagine being out of the water for 3 whole weeks in the summer! So, my plan is to get one whenever swim season is over.

This is a LONG story!!! Here is the short version:) One night after dinner we wanted to go dancing. We decided to come on back to the hotel and just go to the dance club there. In our minds we thought this was safer and low-key. When we got to the hotel there were limos and cabs everywhere. The taxi driver told us Liv (the club in our hotel) is THE hottest night club in Miami. Well, fancy that! Here we are:) When we walked in we thought we would just go straight to the club. OH NO! They started blocking off the enterance and it was a RED CARPET EVENT!!! This is no joke! This is the picture of Jessica and I on the red carpet. The producer of Transformers was throwing a party for the cast! We saw the producer but no one else:( But we got in!

Here is us in the club. To get into the club you had to buy a table at $1000, 3 bottles at $300 a bottle and then pay $100 cash once you got in to get the waitress to bring you the 3 bottles you requested!!! Crazy! People were dropping some serious $ right and left. Lucky for us we befriended people with $ and they let us join them:) So, we got in by paying $30 a piece! PRICELESS!!! Only with these girls! We had a blast!!!!!

I will probably never again make it out to Miami. I am so glad Jessica gave me the chance to tag along with her. It was a trip I will NEVER forget with lots of great stories!
Stay tuned...I have another great story about Miami:)

Mini Reunion

This summer Kara, Jessica and I planned a little mini reunion for our high school friends. Our 10 year is actually next summer! Where has time gone!!! These are the people that actualy stayed around for the planning of the reunion. Suprisingly ALL guys. We had such a fun time catching up and getting to meet everyone's families.

These are just the Lindale graduates. The spouses that are not Lindale graduates did not get in the pic. I so quickly forget not everyone has known their spouse their WHOLE lives:)

This is a random pic of Justin I thought I'd throw in. The reunion this year needed to borrow Justin's helment for decoration. When he got it out he of course had to try it on, assume the 3 point stance and teach Dryver how to tackle. Oh...and have me take his pic 50 times! Always the football player at heart:) I have to admit...it was a turn on! I have fond memories of meeting him on the field after games:)

Stayed tuned. If you know me, I am going in chronological order through our summer. The reunion took place the weekend of June 20. We still have a way to go!!!

Let me explain!!!

I have seen many of my fellow blog readers lately and you guys have really reprimanded me for my blogging habbits this summer. Well...let me just say my computer crashed that has all my pictures (we are trying to recover them now)so we had to get a new computer and I got a new camera. I have not learned how to transfer my pictures from the new camera to the new computer. I am pretty technically challenged so I am waiting on my sweet husband to give me tutorials on the new camaera and computer:)
So here is our 2nd week of summer. A fun low-key family trip to Dallas. Every year we try to go to at least 1 ranger game. And a weekend getaway to Dallas.

Beth and I at the game. We do not look like sisters! Please take notice of the color of our skin:)

After an hour and 40 minute light delay Dryver was done. But he (and Justin) were good sports!

The next day we went to the Fort Worth Zoo. Dryver loved feeding the birds.

Dryver, Keatyn and Addilyn at the gator. Keatyn always ready for a photo op. The babies...ready for a nap!

I will try to do better on my blogging. Stay tuned...it was a wild and crazy summer for the Cowart clan! Miami, Beth's 30th, New York and Dryver's new haircut.
