August Celebrations

Happy Friday and Happy August!!

It's birthday month for both me {30th} and Eric {22nd}, and we have lots to celebrate about! Not only our birthdays, but Eric is officially starting school August 27th! I couldn't be more proud of him! I know in the long run, it will be worth the sacrifices we are making now. While most of our friends are done with school and into their careers, we are just getting started! Better late then never, I suppose!

Last weekend we took a girls trip to Dallas for the American Idol Concert. Wow! We girls know how to have fun together! This trip has become such a bonding experience for all of us especially since this is the second time we have done it. If you put 4 girls in the car for 3 hours, you are bound to cry, laugh, joke around, sing...and stop to pee 5 times from College Station to Dallas. We have managed to perfect the Idol concert experience. We now know that if we sacrifice the last couple of songs in the concert, we can have front row access to meet the Idols outside after the concert. I managed to get 9 autographs out of the 10 performers this year plus many pictures with them! Here are a few of the pictures below:

2012 American Idol winner: Phillip Phillips! Sorry, I was a creeper in this one!

Finally, this month, myself, Casey, Kenzie, and my dad are headed off to Idaho for 5 days. My dad is working on a project up there and decided to take us with him! I'm so excited! I went there when I was really young, probably in 4th grade or so and don't remember much. I'm sad to leave Eric behind, but I'm sure he could use a break from me for a few days!!:) 

All in all, this month is shaping up to be one of the best I have had in a long time. So thankful for the new adventures God is taking us on!
  
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
