Happy Father's Day, Dad!!




This guy is by far my best friend. From teaching me the importance of good vodka, how to play blackjack, being the best spiritual leader (or leader in general) for our family, always always providing for us in every way, never giving up on me, teaching me to take responsibility, pushing me to always be better, helping me get back up every time I fall, and always carrying my many shopping bags (haaa)- you're the best!!!!

So, we're in West Virginia. It's just Dad and I- so I, being the golden daughter that I am, told him we could do whatever he wanted today. So, what did we end up doing?? Oh you know, started the morning off with fly fishing, came back for breakfast, church then a grilling demonstration/lunch. Although slightly manly (to say the least), it has been SO much fun! I now know how to fly fish (sort of) and how to smoke a beef tenderloin! Just call me Dad's favorite son :)


Happy Father's Day to all... and especially to mine- God blessed me with one of the best :)

WEDDING WEEKEND!!

I have a new sister in law! This past weekend, Rob and Katherine got married in Clarksdale. One of my favorite weekends all around!

Thursday, Rob and I drove up to Clarksdale. Our immediate family stayed at a great bed and breakfast, which was conveniently in the middle of town and three doors down from the Ross's. Thursday night I got to have dinner with my friend, Strohm, before she left for NYC. It was so good to see her! Friday was the bridesmaids luncheon, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Almost ALL of our entire family made it for the wedding festivities, so it was a blast getting to see everyone :)

Another bonus, my friend Amanda was in town for the wedding and staying with Strohm. Amanda and Strohm were so awesome and came over to do my hair and makeup for the rehearsal dinner and wedding. It was so nice to have good friends with me! I sure do miss those two :)

Saturday, we went to the out of town luncheon- which, again, was conveniently right down the street. Then it was show time. We all began to get ready for Rob and Kat's big day! The wedding was absolutely perfect and VERY Katherine and Rob.

I couldn't be any more excited to have another sister in law. Rob found a good one, which, obviously isn't surprising to me :) I feel so blessed to not only have three amazing older siblings to look up to, but also three in laws as well.


On to other news, Monday Mama and I moved a bunch of stuff around in my apartment in Starkville. It's really starting to come together. Perfect timing, considering I start school on July 2nd! Tomorrow, Daddy and I head to West Virginia, where I'll be until it's time to start at the W. I will be taking a side trip to NYC to visit Strohm!! Exciting next few weeks ahead :)

Clarksdale bound :)




And now, ALL ready for nursing school.... I hope!
