Does anyone else find themselves buying way too much when buying baby gifts for other people? I mean, I go ALL OUT. Everything is so cute! You have to get the cute onesies... then there's the bows that match... then there's receiving blankets that match... and dont forget the socks.... and the matching mittens!! But wait, they also need sleep-n-play jammies... that match.
And these aren't even my kids! Im going to be in trouble.
I spend more money on baby gifts than I do wedding gifts, which is crazy because it's all going to be pooped on, slobbered on, snotted on, spit up on, and out-grown. But then again, I guess you could say it is being well-used and loved!

Summer Lovin'
Im telling you, I cant keep up this summer! Where is the time going?
We are gone EVERY weekend. I am thankful that we have family and friends to go see. I am thankful that we have cars that will get us where we want and need to go. I am thankful for a nice cozy house to come home to and a job that allows me to travel on the weekends.
BUT... Im exhausted! After the lake on the Fourth (which was a blast by the way!), I went to New York City with my best friend, Lindsay. It was the most time Ive gotten to spend with her one-on-one for probably 2 years. She and I have been best friends since our moms introduced us in the 2nd grade. We have had countless sleepovers, makeovers, dress-up parties, tea parties, play dates, dates with boys, school dances, dance teams, and FUN together! She was my Maid of Honor, and while we got to see each other a lot with all the wedding events, there was always an agenda, and always other people around. We went to NYC to visit her sister who is doing a summer internship in PR up there in Manhattan... what a cool opportunity! (and she has NO problem getting people to come visit her either...)
We had a wonderful time. So many laughs, a few heart-to-hearts, lots of adventures, and just girl time. I miss that, and my other 3 best friends back in San Antone.
ONE DAY hopefully I'll be back there...
Last weekend, we had my "baby" cousin's high school graduation party! What!! Stop growing up everyone! We had the party in Ft Worth at my grandparent's house and Meredith came up from Waco with her boyfriend, Tucker, and her brother, Travis, who happened to be home on leave from the Air Force. We were so happy he could make it.
Meredith came with me to my new student conference at A&M when she was 12... and it seems like last year we did that. Now it is her turn for her new student orientation! She is attending UTA for Nursing and I couldnt be more proud of her. She is so mature for her age and really has her sights set high for her career.
WAY TO GO MEREDITH!
This coming weekend = the crazy, jam-packed wedding marathon weekend!
We have 2 friends getting married (well... 4 friends, 2 couples), one Friday night, and one Saturday night. Matt happens to be a groomsman in the Saturday wedding, so our agenda is: Drive to Dallas, check into hotel, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception on Friday; wedding day festivities, pictures, wedding, reception, and seeing our friends Saturday! Pray that I get some beauty sleep in there sometime!
My summer might be busy, but it's anything but boring!
Hope your summer is FUN and maybe a little RELAXING, too...
