Summer Time

This summer has been a whirlwind! It all started on my last day of work...we drove to Arkansas to attend our good friend's wedding on June 14th. It was a beautiful wedding and it was nice seeing lots of people we haven't seen in a while.

Bobby headed back to Texas on Sunday, while I stayed in Arkansas and hung out with my family for a week. We didn't do much but I got to see my grandma's so that was nice.

I flew back to Texas and stayed for a week and a half. Bobby and I went to Pennsylvania to visit Susie, Chad, and Bryce for the Fourth of July weekend. It was a great trip! The weather was amazing and a little cold! We had a lot of fun hanging out with just Susie, Chad, and Bryce, which we don't get to do often. We had a relaxing weekend. We saw the most amazing fireworks show and even visited New York one day. We flew back to Dallas and got home at 1AM. The next day, I drove back to Dallas to pick up my brother! We headed back home. Wednesday the 9th was his birthday. We went and watched a movie. Then, on Thursday, we went skydiving! It was an incredible experience, but I'm not sure I want to do it again. After that, Josh and I decided to just chill out. We didn't do much, saw another movie, attended the company picnic, etc. The next Thursday, my parents drove down and visited. We went to Six Flags in Arlington. We also visited the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, which is a drive through safari. It was fun to see/feed the animals! They left early last Friday. That afternoon, Bobby and I drove down to New Braunfels, TX to float the river and attend a concert. Saturday was a long day, but it was fun. We attempted to break the record for the largest river float. We think we participated in it, but it was hard to say as there were so many people! It was still pretty fun. We headed back to the place we were staying to chill out and get ready for the concert. We saw Matt Caldwell and Roger Creager. The concert was amazing! It was Roger's fourth night in a row of singing at Gruene Hall but you couldn't tell by his energy and his voice still sounded amazing! We passed out as soon as we got back from exhaustion! On our way back to Waco, we stopped and visited our friends Catie and Patrick in Austin to meet their 6 day old (at the time) baby! Little baby girl is so sweet and tiny. It was great to see her and two of my other good friends! Since then, I haven't done much. I'm trying to soak up my last few weeks of summer break, before going back to work. I still have a few things planned but I'm taking advantage of the break! It's nice to just hang out with my dog and watch whatever I want on TV. :)

Until next time...
