Wall Cloud in Henryetta, Oklahoma. Was not fun driving through that storm....

WAHOO!! I was so excited to see this sign!!

My very first tattoo. aiyh means: Always in Your Heart! It is something my Mom and I started awhile ago when something had happened to me and my parents weren't physically near. My mom will always say, "Where am I when you can't see me?" Answer: "Always In Your Heart"

We had the best time in Texas seeing the kiddos and seeing family. We saw almost everyone on my side except about 6 cousins. It was a much needed vacation and was great to visit with everyone. We are excited about going back in August for my Dad's retirement. He worked for ExxonMobil for 35 years! I'm pretty proud of his accomplishments! And even more excited about getting our family pictures taken while we are there. If everyone gets to make it to my Dad's retirement. All of my Nanny's (Grandmother's) Great Grandchildren will all be there and we can get a picture of them together as well! Can't wait! Knowing that we were going to get to see my family in a couple weeks made it easier to say goodbye.

What a weekend! Man… we were on the road a lot this past weekend. All of our friends live in Hendersonville which is about 30 to 40 minutes away give or take with traffic. That is where we attend Church as well. So Friday during the day I went and hung out at the pool with my girlfriend in Mount Juliet. Anyway, that night we went to Hendersonville for their fireworks show with our friends. It was fun to hang out with them; we cooked out, and watched the kids play. Saturday morning we went back to Hendersonville and while Jason and Chad (One of our friends) were building picnic tables for our Church, Kristin (Chad’s wife) and I hung out at the pool. We then went downtown to the Nashville fireworks. Chad’s dad is an attorney downtown and his building is right up against the riverfront, where they set off the fireworks. We sat on the roof and watch the fireworks in the rain. It wasn’t just rain it was buckets of water. We were as wet as we would have been jumping in the pool with our clothes on! It was so much fun, though. We were definitely drenched, but it was so worth it. Nashville’s downtown fireworks show is THE BEST fireworks display I have EVER seen in my life. It was constant fireworks for a total of 25 minutes! Choreographed with the Nashville Symphony, pretty amazing!
