I'm not sure how this always happens, but I guess I really haven't posted since March! This summer has been anything but relaxing (for me, at least) but it's been great!
We started it off with Leslie's graduation! So proud, and so happy for him to be finished.
Then, once baseball season was over we had a couple of weeks to enjoy before I started summer school. Marsha and Mark came to visit us in Natchitoches! The four of us went to our local gator park for the first time and enjoyed some time relaxing and fishing at home.
After that, the four of us drove to Dallas to see my parents and Kevin flew in to spend a few days with us! We even got to spend some time with Katie and her sweet puppy, Zola. The family took me to the AT&T store to get a new iPhone for my birthday, and thoroughly embarrassed me by singing to me in the middle of the store- ha! Loving my new phone though, and really loved getting to see all of them!
The next week summer school started. I'm taking three classes, two of which are online, and it's been a lot of work! I'm a few weeks from the end now, and I'm so ready for it to be over!
We celebrated our first anniversary on June 11th, and it was a super busy day!
First, we volunteered at VBS. I had first and second graders for the week and Leslie had fifth and sixth graders.
After VBS we went to an active kids' camp we were working that week. We had around ten kids and had the camp for two weeks in June. It was a lot of fun, but very hot and tiring!
And after camp on our anniversary I had class, so my sweet husband did the cooking that night and we each took a few bites of the top layer of our wedding cake!
Between our weeks doing kids' camps, we got to enjoy a week at the beach! The weather was wonderful and we had a great time! I loved having my birthday at the beach and we even got to see Marsha and Kevin again while we were down there. We were happy to get to eat some of our favorite foods that we miss on the way there and back, and we had some great beach food while we were there!
We were also able to take a trip to Alabama after we finished our camps to visit Leslie's family for the Fourth of July. We got to spend some time in Tuscaloosa and visit with friends that we hadn't seen in a while. It rained on the Fourth and we were super lazy! Leslie's grandmother came over to the house and had lunch with us and we all went over to his other grandmother's house to have dinner with his dad's family.
I was also pretty excited that Leslie's mom got free tickets to a Ringo Starr concert and gave them to us! We went with our friends Jake and Kayla, and had a lot of fun!
But, the most exciting news of all... Leslie got a JOB!!! And it was the one he was hoping for :) He'll be NSU's newest Athletic Trainer. Yay!
Next week I'm heading to visit my grandmothers with my parents, but Leslie won't be able to join us since he has to start work. Hopefully I'll remember to post about our adventures there!
