beah home, sweet home.

we are back in the great state of FL.

i love getting to call this place home for the next month.

so far there is no oil/tar balls on the beach.

only time can tell if we will get some, but

watercolor has hired a company to make sure the

beaches are nice and clean which is a plus.

along with oil, we are also having to worry

about excessive rain due to hurricane alex.

God certainly is keeping beach life interesting this summer,

however, mom and i were talking earlier and we agreed

that we would look back in months to come

and remember that God had a plan for everything:

the beach, state, my life in general.

regardless, i would rather be here than at home for my last summer.

i purchased 4 books today.

i decided that my goal for the month is

going to be to read 20 books.

challenge extended.

goodnight world.

xoxo

thursday bliss list.

Today Mom & i went to Houston for the day

to run some errands, and then made it back

home for a home cooked meal compliments of

Mr. Mike Roebuck.

here were the highlights:

1. Cruising around in Mom's rental car blaring the new TI song.

2. Lunch at Pappasitos with Mom and my best friend, Chadley.
3. New Lululemon workout clothes in attempt to get me motivated to work out...
4. CRAVE cupcakes & Starbucks iced lattes.
5. Wine and Steak night with the family.

... i would say it was a successful day!

happppy father's day!

To the greatest guy I know.

Everyone says that their dad is the best,

but I really think that mine is.

He is so well liked by everyone,

and has such a kind heart.

He's very witty, and constantly

keeps us laughing at the house.

He does so much for our family,

and other people in need.

It's going to be a challenge finding someone

like him to marry one day!

i {love} youuu!

sounds of the summer: volume one.

this is what summer is sounding like....
