Summer Fun

I love the summer...this summer is a bit different than my "typical" summers. I usually have the whole summer off. It used to be a time of rest and rejuvenation before going back to school in the fall. I used to go to church camp, travel to Colorado and visit my family, spend time by the pool, and my favorite.. sleep in past 10am.

BUT NOW...

My summer is full of waking up by 7:30am Monday through Friday. I only have the weekends to grab some sun and enjoy summer nights...visit friends and family. But I love my weekends :) This summer I have already gone to a DoobieBrothers/Chicago concert. Celebrated David's birthday at a Piano Bar. Visited a friend's lake house where we enjoyed the lake and went extreme tubing all day long. I went to see the best 80's cover band called the SPAZMATICS.



I have gone to the Houston, TX to to visit a restaurant one of my friend's father owns. It's called REEF if you are in the area looking for a great seafood place.

And the summer is NOT over! I have every weekend planned and I love it. Here are some pictures of the fun I have had thus far :)

New Phase, New Life, Same Old Me!

I apologize for the lack of posts...but I am making a promise to myself I will blog much more often now that I am a "big" girl. I am a Baylor graduate, living on my own in an apartment, working 8-5(sometimes more), and loving it.

For those who need a more detailed update...I am working for GVA Cawley, a full-service commercial real estate firm as a leasing agent. I will become more official once I take and pass the state exam for my real estate license...something I am SO ready to be done with! I am incredibly blessed to have this job right out of college. Everyone I work with is so wonderful and so encouraging. Many times in a corporate environment, competition prevents an office from being a comfortable place to work. NOT HERE! Everyone is working hard to be successful don't get me wrong, but no one is tacky towards each other. They congratulate you if you make a deal. They want to see my grow and become successful. It is just encouraging for me because I would be SCARED to DEATH if it were not like this :)

I just moved into my apartment a couple weeks ago in Dallas' Uptown district. I love it! I live with one of my college roommates Maggie and it is so fun living with her as we make our way through this new place in our lives.

David is just seconds away, and it is so wonderful being close to him again. He makes life fun so I am BLESSED to be so close to him!

I will ask for prayer as David and I make the search for a church home. We are anxious and excited to find a place to serve and be served. We long for a community we can count on, share life with, and grow with.

I am in a different place right now. My parents no longer live in Rockwall but are now residents in Bailey, Colorado...I am not going back to school in August. I no longer sleep in past 10am :( I have my own checking account, bills, living experiences, etc. but I am me and I love it!

Here are some pictures from my graduation.
