BBQ for the Bobcat Grad

This weekend we went to Krista's graduation BBQ at her parent's new house in Round Rock. We had a lot of fun! There was great food, drinks and tons of games to play.

The cake Krista's mom got - isn't it so cute! I told Krista she needs to jump in the air like the girl on there.


Krista and I in her HUGE backyard. Isn't their fence pretty? I loved the rock.

By this point, they were getting annoyed with my picture taking.

FYI - FREE Skin Cancer Screening in Austin

I have always been a big proponent of getting your skin checked every year. Luckily, Austin has a hospital that does a completely FREE screening once a year. I think it's so great that they do it because it is so important. They always say, early detection is key! It takes less than 5 minutes and could safe your life!! :)

21st Annual Free Skin Cancer Screening
Saturday, May 38 a.m. to 2 p.m.
University Medical Center at Brackenridge,601 East 15th StreetDay Surgery, First Floor(Complimentary garage parking)

Screening exams will be conducted by local dermatologists who are volunteering their time.
Screening Sponsors are the Austin Dermatological Society, Seton Family of Hospitals, American Cancer Society, American Academy of Dermatology and Schering and Dermik.
Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. When detected early and treated properly, even melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer is curable. More than one million cases of highly curable basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year according to the American Cancer Society. Melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, will strike approximately 62,480 persons in 2008, 3,940 of those in Texas alone. Melanoma is expected to be the sixth most common cancer in men and seventh most common malignancy in women nationally in 2008. An estimated 8,420 people will die from melanoma in the U.S. in 2008. Men have a 1 in 41 chance of developing invasive melanoma during their lifetime, with women a 1 in 61 chance.
(American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts and Figures 2008) Data on expected cancer incidence exclude squamous and basal cell cancer and most carcinomas in situ)
Of the 535 persons examined during the 2007 Screening, 206 had an abnormal finding. This included 52 presumptive skin cancers, nine of which were likely melanomas.

"And I never wanted nothin' more"...

So Wednesday night when Brian and I got home, I had two missed calls from his mom and so did he. I was very curious why she had called my phone too..Well, she said that a guy from her work had two Kenny Chesney tickets for Thursday's show in Austin and Brian's dad did not want to see him (it's a girl thing I think!) So anyway, she was like I have these two tickets, do you think you would want to go with me?? UM YES, YES and YES!! I love Kenny Chesney and have always wanted to go to one of his shows. He's been Entertainer of the Year and now I can see why! We had the BEST time! I don't think one person was sitting down the entire performance - everyone was dancing and singing along..So fun!! THANKS, THANKS, THANKS JAN for letting me tag along with you!!

Leanne Rimes opened the show and did a really good job! She was really full of energy!

It wouldn't be Kenny Chesney without his cut off t-shirt!! Haha
