August 2010

Well, so....I was WORSE this month than I was last month about taking pictures. In fact, I think this is the worst I've EVER been!!!! I took a lot of pictures on our vacation, but once I got home, I forgot it almost everytime I wanted it. I can say that I'm already doing better for September though! :) Here is August!

~Celebrated our pastor's, JB, 25th anniversary with our church

~Had JB and Jean over for hamburgers and fellowship

~LUNCH WITH ABBY! My sweet friend who lives in Washington State! We rarely get to see each other and the last time was for my wedding. She is beautiful and my sweet sister in Christ and I love getting to visit with her any chance I can get!

~Celebrated a friend's birthday at Palamino's

~2 Arbonne parties

~TULSA!!! Visited with family and went to the Priscilla Shirer's Going Beyond Conference at Church at Battle Creek

~Enjoyed the pool at my parent's house with Caitlin and Kristin.

~TEXAS VACATION!!!! August 9-15th

~Birthday Dinner at Palamino's with Ken

~Made dinner for Caitlin and she spent the night....first person to use our guest room!!!!

~My 32nd birthday!!!!!!

~Spent the morning of my birthday with Ken at home

~Spent the rest of the afternoon and evening with Michelle: We ate at Cheesecake Factory and went to see "Eat. Pray. Love." (which I would NOT recommend!!!!). And went back to Cheesecake Factory to get dessert to-go! It was a wonderful day!!!!!!~Got pedicures with Kristin

~Lunch with Lorinda at Hideaway

~Tulsa to celebrate my birthday with my parents! While there, Ken said that Palamino's wasn't REALLY my birthday dinner, so we went to Los Cabos, which we both LOVE!!!!The next day, I laid out by the pool until mom was finished with her bible study and then we went shopping!!!! I got some fun new clothes! Some of them are for our family pictures. We were supposed to take them in early September, but now we are having to reschedule. I can't wait to get them done b/c I think it will be so cute. We've never had a REAL profession family photo shoot (weddings don't count!). Anyway---after shopping my dad and Ken met us for dinner at the Polo Grill at Utica Square and then we went back to their house for coffee and CAKE (from Nibbles!)! YUM! :) It was so fun to spend a time with my mom and dad!!!! I think this year really was a fabulous birthday! Probably the best of my 30's! :) ~Met with the college pastor at church and I am going to start serving a LITTLE with that ministry. I would love to help more, but their main event is on Wednesday nights...which is the only day off that Ken and I have together. Maybe one day I can do more, but for now its all I can balance.

~Worked an Arbonne booth at the Payne County Fair

~Helped with a baby shower at church

~I've really enjoyed Summer TV! Rizzoli and Isles, Covert Affairs and Rookie Blue are our favorites. Sadly, they are all about to end. I hope they return next summer though b/c we really did like them! I love that networks have Summer series b/c summer TV used to be so boring!!! But, maybe that's why I haven't gotten as much reading done this summer. :)

~And sadly, I've become addicted to "The Bachelor Pad". Its totally ridiculous and LOTS of drama!!!! Which makes it pretty amusing! :)

~Plus, my favorite...."Project Runway" is back and better than ever!!!! I love love love this season!!! I like how Lifetime has changed it up, but left all the good parts too. I haven't really found a designer that I totally love and want to win, but I still really love this season so far!

~And again (like last month), I'll leave you with this month's favorite picture of my sweet, baby Ru! :)Thats about it!!!! Welcome FALL!!!! My favorite time of year!!!! :) The cooler weather where you can wear your cute summer clothes during the day, but at night you need a light jacket or sweater! Its also football season!!!! And, now it the season that brings our ANNIVERSARY!!!! Plus, its leading us into holiday season!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
