MooMoo!

This weekend consisted of a trip to College Station, Blue Bell ice cream, frozen yogurt, and

of course, the fabulous people in the picture above!

We kicked off our weekend by going down to

Brenham, TX (45 minutes outside of College Station)

to tour the Blue Bell Factory!

The best part of the whole tour was the free ice cream!

More pictures to come!

While visiting my family in College Station, my oldest niece was telling me about this awesome all natural frozen yogurt shop called

Red Mango, and then just a few minutes later my

sister-in-law started telling me about it.

Since two people told me about this amazing all natural frozen yogurt shop within an hour...

I decided I must try it!

When we first walked in I was a little hesitant,

but as I started to discover

what this place was all about my enthusiasm started to take over. Especially,

when I saw the endless choices of frozen yogurt and toppings!

Since this was my first time, I told myself not to go overboard. So, I stuck with the original flavor, but with the toppings I chose to be more creative. I chose a scrumptious mixture of

strawberries, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips.

I just wish I had added the chocolate syrup!

So you can imagine my taste buds were exploding with delight!

Thanks Molly and Joan for introducing me to the Red Mango!

I hope y'all get chance to go!

Because I'm sure glad I did!

Happy Birthday, Tara!

Happy Birthday!
Thank you for being a wonderful and supportive friend! You're the Best!!
Love, Nicole

The cutest fairies I've ever seen!

I love it when I come across old photos!

Especially, when they are of my nieces and nephews!

Clarity

My first blog! Well, to be honest this is not my first time blogging.There is my family blog which shamefully, I'll admit, I haven't contributed to since November 2008.

So, here it is. My own official blog! I wonder if participating in the blog world is going to better who I am or some miraculous thing occurs once I push "publish post"?! Let's be realistic here, probably not. But, bettering who I am; maybe. Time will tell. I honestly think a person can have a better perspective on life when they record or write about their own experiences whether it be negative or positive. I speak about clarity. Oh, sweet clarity! I know I don't only speak for myself when I say, once there is clarity...there is peace. When I am in a situation that's unclear, even to the point of being doubtful about my ability to comprehend, I know clarity will some how find its way in. For example, margarine or butter? Seriously! Margarine or butter?! I know I am not the only person who has stood staring at the margarine and butter section wondering... which one I should purchase? Which one is better for me--health wise? Which one is less likely to put me in the hospital in twenty years? If you really think about it, it can become mind torturing. So, I do my research, and by educating myself I make a decision from my discoveries. I now have clarity, and with that clarity I no longer have doubt. With confidence I can breeze through the margarine and butter section knowing which one to choose. But wait! What's this?Salted or unsalted? Ugh! It never ends!

To end my first blog posting, I want to say I'm excited to have a place to express my formation of mental objects (thoughts) and to share my extraordinaire experiences with you, as well.
