An Amy weekend!!

This weekend my very best friend came down to see us before she has her sweet baby boy in January. I cannot wait to see her as a mom and meet this sweet little guy. Amy and I met In graduate school and have had such a special friendship ever since. I thank God all the time for placing me at ASU because she is such a blessing to me and my family! When I lost my best friend Mica in December Amy drove 6 hours to Bolivar and back to Little Rock in a day to be by my side without me even asking her to. She is so wonderful. Go Here to read about a mission to save and change children's lives that Amy is apart of. This is a beautiful example of being God's faithful servant.
Amy and I now enjoy our visits doing the simpy things in life that we can't normally do together. It's funny how our lives change and we notice it more with every visit. This trip we were on our way home from shopping and my dad called. He said "oh you and Amy shopping must mean you girls bought shoes." I said, "Nope baby boy clothes." Lol. One day we will go back to buying those shoes!
Friday night we ate at this hidden oasis in the city called Tiny Boxwoods with some of my new friends here in Houston. It was wonderful food and a fabulous atmosphere.








When Amy and I depart from one another it is always messy, so we make it quick. Amy I am a better person for knowing you! Thank you for everything!

Never stop exploring

About a month ago Mac started playing in this box and I of course took some pictures! Once I put them all together and up on Facebook I realized what the box said. I think that motto is one we should all try to live by! Mac certainly is and I am loving every second I get to watch him doing it even if one of those exploring moments involves dog poop! I love you my sweet sweet Mac!!!!

Our Summertime in Pictures

This is not a surprise, but we have been traveling EVERYWHERE this summer!!! In 7 weeks we went to 7 states. It was lots of fun and we got to spend time with lots of people we love! Mac got to meet some of my friends he had never met. Both sets grandparents got lots of Mac time which they loved!! I got to spend tons of time with my nieces and nephews which was long over due. When my oldest brother and his family picked Mac and I up at the airport Jamie and I both were in tears loving on each others babies. Jack tackled me and I could not believe how big he was. It had been over a year since I had seen them. Once back to Texas we were home for 3 days and then went to our favorite low key TX beach with some of my oldest friends and their better halves. One thing I love about where we live is it's so close to the beach!!!! So here are some of my favorite moments of the summer!












Lindsey & Tim's wedding in Charlottesville, VA ( beautiful)




Happy 4th of July with a yummy crab boil in Arlington!








Ashley Brown's bachelorette party in New Orleans, LA

Second favorite thing to do at Mimi and Papaw's house: throw rocks in there fish ponds "boys"







Back home to the beAch in Texas! Mac LOVED it!! He wasn't scared at all which kept mommy very busy. Everyday when we would drive out on the beach Mac would start squealing with excitement.
