at time when I'm there and even better this trip as I surprised my brother and sister with my visit; the looks on their faces were priceless and it makes me smile so much to hear "KK I love you so much, I can't believe you're here!". Kiersten had a volleyball tournament and I'm so thrilled to say I think sh
e is going to be quite the volleyball stud! Her team won the tournament and Kiersten is quite the spark plug on the court - full of energy and she goes for everything. Also, I go to see Luke's baseball scrimmage where he seems to be following Logan's steps by playing catcher. He did awesome! Lastly - my stepdad was in a BBQ competition with
three friends - check out their grill!! The weekend was capped off with some Mardi Gras fun and I was able to see some dear friends which all in all capped off my weekend to perfection (minus the fact it had to end :( ) Immediately I came into a whirl-wind
in Houston as two of my favorite gals from Quinnipiac came to visit Big Texas. Ashley and Kristy came in town and we did it up right - Tons of food, The Rodeo and St. Arnold's...not to m
ention some fun times at my favorite hookah place Cafe Byblos. I think the girls definitely left with a new perspective on Texas and I hope they come back, it really meant the world to have them come all the way from New Jersey to see little ole' me :) Following their visit the family came to see me for the rodeo. We were packed like sardines in my little apartment but Mom, Ed, Kiersten and Luke
were troopers and had a great time. They had so many "firsts" in Texas and I'm so glad I could be a part of th

What a four days we had! They really are the best!:) Lastly, this girl ain't getting an
y younger! LOL I had found out I needed to have my meniscus repaired for yet a THIRD time and quite possibly my ACL as well. WOW, do ya think I need to take it easy at some point?? At 26 years old I have stage 3 out of 4 early arthritis in my knee...which translates into only getting worse as I get older. Thankfully my Aunt and Uncle took care of me on Friday, March 25th for my orthroscopic procedure and then if my ACL is needed to be replaced good ole' Momma-Dukes will be coming into town for a week :) ---(IT DOES need to be replaced LOL) Hey, she doesn't have a choice - I don't have a boyfriend and I'm not married so I'm all alone on this one and need her! Needless to say between all the entertaining I've been doing, traveling and now dealing with my knee I still have to move to my new apartment at somepoint in time! This girl will be in Houston for at least one more year so we'll see what happens. Although, gas prices are better here than FL so that could be a selling point to stay. I cannot believe we are back up to $3.50/gallon and higher in some places.

I'm so sick of how these foreign countries have so much affect on our lives here but they are so far away; the turmoil in Libya is just sickening and coupling it with the devastation in Japan has just made for a rough couple of weeks around the world. My heart and prayers go out to the people of Japan affected by Mother Nature. Stay Strong!
Lastly the NCAA Final Four is in town starting today and THIS GIRL will be at the finals on Monday night. I'm so excited! those of you that know me know I'm not the biggest basketball fan however when the finals roll around I start to pay attention. What a fun weekend ahead - not only will the games be going on but there are tons of festivities going on downtown and free concerts - Sublime, Panic! At the Disco, Kings of Leon, Roger Craeger, Pat Green and my boyfriend ;) Kenny Chesney!
Any good books out there? I still need to finish the Dragon Tattooo series but I'm always open to suggestions!
