July has always been one of my favorite months. For one, my favorite holiday is in July (Independence Day). It is also the month that we have been taking our summer beach vacation in, AND it is also a busy birthday month (Makena, me, and Grammy). I am super excited for all of these again this year!
This is also an exciting month for Makena. Her "Rooted on the Grand Prairie" exhibit opened today!
The exhibit looks great! She has worked pretty hard on this for a while.
We are proud of you, Makena!
Makena is wanting to go to the Little House on the Prairie Museum in Kansas for her birthday. You know that girl loves her a good museum, and we have been watching the old show recently. She said she isn't interested in the new one because it isn't historically accurate. Leave it to our resident historian to keep us accurate. It does sound like a fun trip. We are going to do our best to make it happen. Her birthday is on Monday (she is off on Mondays) but we leave for the beach on Wednesday. Maybe we can swing it.
We've made it through the first part of summer and now we're right in the middle of long evenings, backyard cookouts, fireworks, swimming pools, and all those little moments that somehow end up becoming our favorite memories.
As much as I am looking forward to vacation (and believe me, I am!), I am already thinking about how much I will miss Wrenley and Wesley and how much he will grow during that week! I think I have seen him almost every day since he came home, even if it is just for an hour or so.
Look at these precious babies!!
After Makena's 24th birthday and our beach trip come my birthday. And while I am not giving my age away, I will say that I am absolutely closer to 50 than I am to 40! At this point in life, I'm just thankful for the mornings I wake up without aching joints, lol.
The week following my birthday is our Revival at church. We normally do a 3-night revival; however, we are trying 5 nights this year. I am looking forward to it, but I also know that I will be exhausted by the time the week is over.
Before I forget again, here are a few pictures from the end of June:
Carl and I went to the river by ourselves on Saturday.
This was our first outing of the season in the jet boat.
One of my favorite views!
And that bench seat that goes across the back of the boat used to seat my 3 babies.
It was a pretty decent start to the summer, now bring on the good times!
Much Love,
Beth
