It's hard to believe that the summer is almost over and the real world starts again soon. Although I have to say that we have had a eventful summer so far. I have been to the beach with my Mama, Aunt Pam, teaching friend Coplin, and Cousin Neal which was very relaxing but no pictures from the trip. :( We did go parasailing and between Pam and I we lost all the pictures that we paid for...bummer...but it was a blast. I was the only one that had been before (Holly and I went a long time ago) and why in the world Mama and Pam thought they would enjoy this I have no idea because they screamed like little girls and I think some tears were shed. And if you know them it was definitely an adventure from the banana boat ride to 800 feet above the ocean. It was seriously hilarious! I also took my cheerleaders to camp at Southern Mississippi. They did a great job and I was so proud of the them. They received all blue ribbons we had one cheerleader and our mascot to make All American and they placed in their cheer. Here is a picture of them....
Not long after camp I had my tonsils taken out and it was 16 days before I had a meal with no pain medication and it was probably the worst experience I've ever had to date. Poor Chase and my Mama....I think I did pretty well on the whining but it was seriously horrible. AND we went on vacation to Virginia and Washington D.C. 10 days after surgery so while I wasn't 100% we had a fantastic time. I thought I would include some pictures from our trip. D.C. was an awesome place to visit and we saw so many cool and historic monuments and Virginia Beach was absolutely awesome. We visited Chase's cousins Damion and his new wife Lori and Dana and her husband Jody. They are wonderful and were such great hostesses. Virginia Beach is a really cool place...the beach is beautiful and the boardwalk was awesome. If you've never visited that area...you should. Anyway.... here are some pictures to enjoy!

We have one more vacation to go on with Daddy and Jodi and then it's back to normal life. However, we do have a lot of exciting things coming soon. I am giving Meggie a baby shower at the end of the month and then Rilee will be here! Zach and Courtney are also expecting and I'm so excited to attend my first gender reveal party. And then before you know it it's our one year anniversary and we have a very exciting trip being planned!!
