Summer


     I wish I had been better about keeping up with the blog and posting as events happened, but there just hasn't been enough time! Here is a little re-cap of some of those events that didn't get their own blog. My summer has been amazing. Justin and I are so blessed with a wonderful life. We are both enjoying our jobs- I am back in a NICU where my heart is filled with purpose and happiness. Justin is working with his dad and getting to travel the world showing off his skills as a designer. Since the beginning of summer, Justin has traveled to Dusseldorf, Germany and Amsterdam for work. He will be going to LA this week! We have been to several weddings: Sara and Ryan's wedding in Ft Worth, Katie Lars and Jack's in Houston, Jason and Kaci's in Horseshoe Bay, and Daniel and Emily's in Richmond, with a few more to come. 
     May was packed with events: Hawkeye was honored for their work at the American Diabetes Gala.
 We got the chance to visit my parents in Trinidad and Tobago for a week (blog to come!).
 I flew to New Orleans for a few days for Kaci's bachelorette party while Justin and the boys went to Las Vegas for Jason.
 
   The rest of the summer was also very full! Amy and Mia came to visit for a week. 

My mom came to town before she went to San Carlos. We celebrated lots of McCoy birthdays. 
We went to Halletsville with Kelly and John. 
Tricia and I played lots of tennis. 
Justin's baseball team had an awesome season. 
Cindy, Kelly and I have learned golf.

 We've had friends in town and enjoyed wonderful weddings. My sweet friend Ali had her baby at home!

 We went to Cozumel for a week with the McCoys (blog to come)! 
All of this while still working full time! As I said, we have a wonderful life and I hope we continue staying as busy as we've been. 
   My parents were able to spend a bit of time with us before they moved to Australia, which was exactly what I needed. We are now skyping to keep up with each other. Their life is even more busy than ours!

 
   We have lots to look forward to before the year is up- Kyla will be having her baby and more friends will announce their pregnancies. 
River trip this weekend! We have Astros tickets and Justin's baseball games. I am playing league tennis at Sugar Creek. Fredericksburg with Eric and Ashlee. Dallas to see Kaci and Jason. Our birthdays! A trip to Orlando, Florida, the holidays and whatever else we haven't even planned yet!
