June 19-23 the whole family got to celebrate in Cancun, Mexico. Jay and Kristal had a destination wedding and it was so beautiful! It was so much fun to get to be with the whole family for a while and it was a much needed vacation for all of us. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures, so I'll have to add some more later when I get others. Here are just a few pictures from our trip. Kristal looked so beautiful... and I don't know if I've ever seen Jay happier!
When we got back from Mexico, the following day I got to go to the Dallas area to celebrate another wedding with Micah, one of my college roommates, and best friends! There was a little rain before the wedding, but it cleared up just in time for the ceremony and was a beautiful night with a great sunset! The wedding was perfect and Micah was just stunning. It was also a great time to catch up with some girls that I miss terribly!
The rehearsal dinner was great!
The morning of the wedding, all the bridesmaids went to get pedicures and manicures and Micah's mom fixed us a great brunch. We had a little toast with Micah's favorite, sparkling grape juice.
It was such a great weekend and I was so glad to get to be a part of it! Congrats to Micah and Chad!
June 27th, Matt and I celebrated our one year anniversary! It's hard to believe that it has already been one year! We celebrated by just having dinner at the house with each other, then having some of our wedding cake. Whenever we froze the cake, I didn't realize the fresh flowers were still on it. I didn't realize until after it had already thawed! It may have been in our heads, but when we took a bite, it seemed like all we could taste were rotten flowers! Needless to say, we didn't eat any more of it. It was still a great anniversary, and I look forward to many more with my wonderful husband! I'm so lucky to have married my best friend!
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of us, but I did get one of our nasty cake.
June 28th through July 1st, I got to spend with Jennifer, Matt's oldest sister. Her husband and son were at Camp Blue Haven for the week, so I went to keep her company and help her decorate the nursery. It was so fun to get to spend the week with her! I can't wait until baby Case gets here! I meant to take before and after pictures, but of course I forgot. That Wednesday, Matt came in and we got to go pick Bekah and Jace (Matt's sister and her husband) up from the airport. They've spent the past two years in China so it's really great to have them home!
Since the 1st, Bekah and Jace have been staying with us until they find an apartment. Last night we got to celebrate the 4th of July by watching some fireworks at the George Bush Library. It was a lot of fun! Welcome home Bekah and Jace, we've really missed you!
It's been a really fun two and half weeks, but it's so good to be home and know we don't have to travel for a few more weeks. I'm looking forward to the rest of my summer! Matt is taking classes and is just finishing up summer one and will start summer two on Friday. Hopefully the weather is nice and we can spend a day or two out at lake Bryan for his days off! I can't wait!
