Daddy

First and foremost, Happy Belated Father's Day to all of the wonderful fathers out there. I have been blessed with a wonderful kind and caring daddy who has always been there for me. He never missed any of our sporting events, drove us to school every morning, and is always there to give a big hug. I will always call him my Daddy. I love you, daddy. YTB!

Also, happy father's day to all of the other wonderful dads out there. May God bless your lives with your children and enjoy every minute you have with them.

Secondly, on Saturday Travis and I volunteered our services to my brother, Trent, and his wife Kourtny. We helped them install wood floors in their living room and dining room. It was a long day of 12 hours of work, but it looks great! It was fun getting to spend time with them. In 5 weeks we get to join them at the beach in Gulf Shores for a week of pure relaxation.

Next weekend I get to spend in Waco with my 2 of my old roommates for a roomie reunion. I am so lucky to have these gals as such close friends. Erin was my maid of honor in our wedding and Abbie was a bridesmaid. These girls mean the world to me. I am blessed to call them my friend and so thankful to be able to get a weekend together with them.

I hope everybody has a wonderful week!

One Year

Happy Anniversary to Jaran and Michael Walz!!! I can't believe it has almost been one year since the wedding (June 16, 2007).

Jaran and Michael are two very wonderful friends. I met Jaran during my extra semester at Baylor (Fall 2004). We had a class together and lived across the street from each other. Jaran and I sat two seats away from each other during class (only separated by the lovely Alli Aman and Sara Dunne) and usually found ourselves texting each other during class...We learned a lot in that class.

After graduating Jaran headed off to Washington, D.C. to work for a congressman from Texas. In May of 2005 Jaran attended a high society event called GoldCup (horse races). She had the perfect dress and matching hat picked out and it was that day she met her future husband. I'll never forget all the times on phone "helping" her pick out what outfit to wear on her dates with him, what he was really thinking about her. We talked on the phone almost every morning when I was leaving the gym and she was going to the gym. It was about that time I started dating Travis.

Fast forward to August of 2006-Jaran and Michael went to visit a good friend in Charleston and Michael proposed while walking on the beach at sunset. What a perfect proposal. They do make one perfect and beautiful couple.

The wedding took place in June of 2007 in Dallas. It was a wonderful event. Every time you see the two it is clear they are very much in love, their eyes light up and big smile is on each of their faces. It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to. I was so honored to be a bridesmaid and be a part of that special day.

Happy anniversary to the Walz's!

Also, say a prayer for Jaran and her family. They are about to head out on a family trip to China. Pray for their safety while they are in this foreign country.
