Sweet Summertime

With classes starting tomorrow, I figure there is no better time for a recap on all the things that went on in my life this summer.

In June my parents and I took a trip to Minnesota for a family reunion. My dad is a Chippewa Indian, and his parents live on the reservation there. It borders Lake Superior and is beautiful. There are waterfalls all along the border of MN and Canada which was such an incredible this to witness. The falls were HUGE.




I officially became an Aggie just a few days before July. It was quite an ordeal. I found out I was denied admission one day, and then literally the very next day, I was accepted. Crazy, crazy stuff. God was definitely present and working in my life those hours. My mom and I made this sign to surprise my dad when he arrived home from work. And Gus is DEFINITELY an Aggie!


After Hayden was done with his Pine Cove term, we spent many a nights hanging out in our hammock. I cannot wait until cooler weather so Hayden and I can continue our hammock swinging. Methinks there isn't anything better.


In July, my family+Hayden took a trip to Destin. We had not been since my dad turned 50 a few years ago so it was great to be by the sea again. We had such an amazing time with eachother. It makes me wish we were all closer together to enjoy eachother's silliness!




And finally, something INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE. My beautiful sister, pictured above, is expecting! I've already been dubbed Uncle Bean (I don't even know) and cannot wait to meet this little bob. It feels like yesterday we were playing swaddling clothes and holding our cats over washing machines. And now, I am about to be an aunt. CRAY. If you want to see the coolest baby announcement video EVER, follow [this] link to Em's blog. Not only is it one of my favorite songs, but one of Em and my favorite games as little girls. This lil' guy/girl is the luckiest thing ever.

So there is my summer recap. I am so excited for this year to unfold. I am already having a blast in College Station and can't even imagine how crazy fun football season will be. Until next time.
