audrey + pippen

did you know that audrey hepburn 

had a pet deer named pippen?

you know that you are classy when you can 

make a deer look timeless...

and her house is beautifully decorated.

... and then there were two.

I am so very PROUD to say that 

we now have TWO aggies in the family.

Cody was accepted into a&m this weekend

& I could not be MORE excited!! 

Next fall will be SO fun with him around! 

LOVE YOU Cody!

My days have been routine & quiet 

over the past few weeks.  

And they pretty much look like this:

Wake up

Drink Iced Coffee

Go to Work

Eat Lunch

Go to the Pool {lake on good days}

Go to the Rec*

Cook Dinner with Roommates

Watch Old School TV Series.

Its summertime! Its the life.

 **Disclaimer: I go because Taylor makes me go, and he is 

only using me for my parking permit.

cody + surgery

Please keep Cody in your prayers tomorrow morning because he is having corrective surgery on his feet at 8 am.  I cringe just thinking about it but the doctor will break every toe and position them correctly... ouch and gross.  He broke his leg three summers ago and since then his foot has bothered him so another surgery is needed.  He is in the middle of summer school so I am not sure how all of this will work out but he says it will be fine... [typical cody answer].

his graduation, a year ago.

::Heritage Festival::

{mindy, taylor & myself}

post dancing.

{brittany & mindy}

This past weekend we went home for the 

Heritage Festival. It was a great night filled 

with southern bows and beautiful dresses... 

I of course spent the evening choosing my favorite

 dress and letting Taylor hear about it. 

Afterwards we decided that the evening 

was so great because we saw so many people

 that we love to see and otherwise wouldn't. 

 [And we got to dress up]

my apologies...

i no longer live in a home that has the luxury of internet 

{or cable for that matter} but who's complaining?...

blog posts currently delayed.

{except that i am at hope this weekend for the infamous nacogdoches heritage festival. bring on the debutants}
