So Lately...

Wow, oops for not updating in a while!!

Since my last update, I've turned another year older. I'm 24 now! Wait, what? Bartow and I celebrated in Oxford at the Ole Miss v LSU game.


If you can't see, Bartow is wearing a boot on his right foot. He broke his toe in half basically in a "clumsy" encounter with the brick steps up to his back door. This kid needs orange cones all around him.

I've been busy planning my sister, Rachel's, bachelorette party!! I'm soooo excited! Austin, here we come! We're renting a cute Austin-chic house, and boating for a few hours Sunday on Lake Travis. That's all I can say about the weekend though. Can't give away too many details... ;)

The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo came and went and since it was my first year on a committee (and I badged!) I was able to frequent the shows with my girls! And I'm ashamed but excited to say that I bought my first cowboy hat, legit one. Yes, I know it only took 24 years for me to do so, but I love it and I am so excited to wear it!!!!


(Notice my badge!!) I love being a Texan
