This week, so far, I am on day 4 and have 2 days until the Bible study meets. I am pretty excited about it. God seems to always know exactly what I am and will be going through and what I need to hear/read before or after those events happen. How amazing is He?
This past weekend was the 4th of July weekend. This year was a first for me. It was so "grown up", I loved it! I started off the day at the city parade. I rode the float with the guys and gals from Cross Timbers Family Services. They do such amazing work and it was great to get to hang out with everyone for a little while. After the parade, my parents came into town to eat lunch with me. This was also a first. My parents love me, but they didn't really come visit much while I working on my undergrad. So far they have been down to see me twice, in the last couple of months. It was great. It was just them and me. I fixed a fabulous fest of steak, squash, mushrooms, onions, asperagus, and stuffed jalepenos. I made mom and dad sit down drink their sweet tea and let me serve them. I cooked everything on the grill and then we ate outside. Mom even made it through most of the meal with us. She did have to get up and go inside and cool off right after she ate. After lunch, we just hung around the house and talked and ate cake and watched tv. It was a pretty relaxing afternoon. They left and I took a little snoozer and then went and fed all the animals I was feeding for the weekend. That evening, my friends, Taysha and Eric, had a little party over at their new house. Their house is super cute! The babies room is so precious! I LOVE it!! I had a wonderful time catching up with everyone there and just chilling and playing Scene it! It was a pretty good day. Not many fireworks, but overall a great day!
Here are some pics from the parade:
