Week 8

Good morning! We have officially been Texas residents for a full 2 months. I can't believe it! It really has gone by fast. I miss my family by in Oklahoma City, but I am doing my absolute best to keep a positive attitude and enjoy all Austin has to offer. This week I plan on getting my Texas driver's license and Texas license plates for my car. That will make this move feel REALLY real. It is about that time though.

So, last week I have continued to do boot camp at 5:30 in the morning 3 days a week. It actually is really good for me to get up and get moving. Those are my most productive days. Monday I went to UT campus and visited the LBJ Presidential Library. It was pretty cool, they are doing some renovations so not that many exhibits were open but being on campus was awesome.

Reid and I also went to the Erich Church concert on Saturday in Cedar Park. As always it was AMAZING! He is such a good performer and Reid and I know ALL of his songs. This was our third time to see him. It is crazy because the first time was at the Diamond Ballroom in OKC, which is a small venue and now we are seeing him at the Cedar Park Center and the Ford Center. I would highly recommend seeing him even if you don't like country music. I will go with you! : )

There is just one more picture I want to put on here. It is Abby Lane in the shirt that I bought her. My brother sent it to me on Saturday and it really made my day. I miss everyone so much!!

I am headed to Abilene until Wednesday, Reid is out of town again and my sweet mother-in-law asked if I would come visit. Can't wait to see the family!! Then my mom and aunt are coming to visit for the weekend. I CAN'T WAIT!!! Hope everyone has a great week!!

Love!

The Name

Good Monday Morning!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend, I sure did. Did a little more exploring of Austin's downtown night life. Found a great very "Austin" restaurant and then went out on West 6th Street. So much fun!!!!!

So, I don't have any great things to talk about but I did want to write a post about how I came up with the name of the blog. Before I got married my last name was very hard to pronounce and even harder to spell. I thought marrying Reid and changing my name to Reagan it would be a breeze. Well, little did I know that there were so many ways to spell Reagan. Then after you spell it the next question is ALWAYS...."So are you related to Ronald?" My favorite response is one that Reid said once and it was "Do you honestly think that I would be working or living here if I was?". I thought everyone would like to know what the "Modern Day Reagans" actually did. The ones that aren't related to Ronald and don't get all those perks. By the way, I really like Reagans that I am related to so much better anyway.




I think this afternoon I am going to head to the LBJ Presidential Library and maybe walk around UT for a little bit. The weather this week is going to be amazing! Also, we will be attending the Eric Church concert this Saturday. This will make concert #3 of his that we have seen. We are super fans!

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Love!

Texas State History Museum

Good Monday Morning! I feel so accomplished already this morning. I started Camp Gladiator (it is a boot camp) at 5:30 this morning. Yep, I was up at 5:00. The dogs and Reid were not happy about it but we meet right across the street at the high school so it will be perfect when I find a job. (When is the key word in that sentence.) I also went home this past week while Reid was away for work again. I LOVED being there! I miss everyone so much and I got to spend quite a bit of one on one time with my ADORABLE niece. I am beyond blessed with such an amazing family!!


So enough with the catch up on where I have been recently, the real reason for this post is to tell you about going to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. It was okay, I liked the Capitol a lot better but I got a better understanding on Texas for sure. The museum starts when there were nomads that lived here and goes all the way until now. My favorite exhibits were a music exhibit that breaks down the different areas of Texas and explains the music influence it has. For example, Lubbock has more of a rock influence because of Buddy Holly starting his career there and Eastern Texas has more a folk type of influence because it is so close to Arkansas. It was really interesting! Then the last exhibit was cool because it went through all the areas of Texas and what type of agriculture is prominent there and then that lead into the oil exhibit. (Of course I liked that one. ) I wouldn't necessarily take anyone to it unless they really wanted to walk around, it is 3 stories tall but it was neat to check it out for something to do.

I hope everyone is out enjoying this BEAUTIFUL weather!!! Have a great week!

Love!
