Meet Hank

Meet the newest addition to the Bal household....HANK!!! Isn't he precious?! Because my husband is such a rockstar he bought me this beautiful puppy as my graduation gift!! I just loooooove him (and Adam) to pieces :)

Finally done with school

Well it's official...I have my MBA! Master of Business Administration with a Health Care emphasis. This last semester really took every once of energy and will power that I had to finish. We had to do our "thesis" in teams and there was one girl in my group who I really think was a mole and put there to test us. Anyway...so that I don't get caught up talking badly I'll change the subject. We presented our 3 year strategic plan to the board of directors and ROCKED it! They loved our presentation, suggestions, ideas, creativeness, etc. Our professor even thought certain parts of our project were professionally created. We worked with a non profit organization called Bea's Kids and loved every minute of it. This really is a great organization that helps meet the educational and personal needs of high risk Hispanic children. I hope this organization is able to use some of what we suggested and grow in order to meet their increased needs. It feels great to be done with school and I never plan to go back! I want to focus on my family and being a great mom and wife and not EVER read another textbook! Well maybe I shouldn't say never bc I'm an avid learner, but either way...it will be a loooooong time before I think of taking any other classes!

The Kirk's say I DO!

Ok, well maybe they said I Do back in April and I've just been really really busy. Either way, the Bal household was so sad to say good-bye to my dear friend Jodi as she embarked on her new journey in life. Jodi had been staying with us since September bc her lease was up and she was saving money to help pay for her wedding. She moved in and we had a blast. Garrison got used to having Ju-Ju there and I really believe he thougth he had a second mom! Now she is married and living down in Brazoria with her new hubby and starting their life together. Jodi made a gorgeous bride and I had the best time ever being a bridesmaid! I just love getting dressed up and pampered!! Thank you Jodi for allowing me to share this amazing day with you! I hope your marriage is as amazing and blessed as mine and Adam's!! We love you!
