It’s finally here. The end of July. I have been looking forward to the weeks ahead all summer long!

Tomorrow, Annalee is coming over for a playdate. I cannot wait. Once upon a time, we went to ACU together and then I got married and moved far, far away. A.L. sent me the sweetest birthday package ever. It included the most priceless video ever of her family and our friends. And also a shirt that says “HBBFFAEAEAE” on the front and “ILY” on the back. We had a thing for talking in initials. I still have this shirt, and I probably always will.

Then, on Thursday, our friends Ryan and Maggie arrive! Can’t wait to see them and their cutie pie kids. On Sunday, we head to Sea World. I haven’t been to Sea World since I was 15. I might just be more excited about this than the kids are. I guess that’s actually a tough call, because when I told Connor about Maisy coming to see him and Sea World, he let loose with the most excited squeal I have ever heard.

The following weekend is the long awaited GIRLS WEEKEND! It is going to be chock full of fun and I absolutely cannot wait to see everyone!

After that, Patrick and Noel are coming to Houston. I can’t wait to spend time with them. They are two of my favorite people in the whole world.

This summer is going by crazy fast.
The next few weeks are going to be amazing! I am sure there will be lots of stories and pictures to come.
