August is here!!! I am soooo excited about this month, and there are so many reasons why!!!

 I don't want to get ahead of myself...before I go on about how awesome August is going to be, I need to tell you all about July. We kicked off the month celebrating the 4th of July at the lake, I took a trip to Chicago with some pretty awesome ladies, and we enjoyed several family gatherings throughout the month! I also found out that my little brother and his girlfriend are going to be having a little boy! I am so happy for them! It will be fun to have a little one running around. SO many babies! :) Be still my baby loving heart!



 Okay, now about August! First of all, I get to celebrate the birthday of my lovely momma! I won't tell you how old she is going to be, but I will tell you that she is NOT two years older than my dad (even if he likes to think that)! This is the first year in a long time that I will actually get to see her on her birthday! She is usually off vacationing, and doing something awesome...LUCKY! This year they went on vacation early, so I think that a celebration will be in order...I better put striped straws and streamers on my shopping list!

 Also in August, I am going to be an aunt...again!!!!! I cannot wait to meet and snuggle baby L on August 28! I am counting down the days!

 PLUS...Dane and I are going on vacation! This trip has been on my mind and my bags have been packed for MONTHS! We are going on a house boat with 5 other couples, and basically it is going to be awesome! You can check out our houseboat here. I know, it is pretty awesome! ;)

Hope you have a great August!

I cannot believe that July is over! When did that happen? It was a very busy, very interesting month.

I am doing a lot of photography work! During the month of July I had several exciting things happen in the world of photography. I changed my branding, found out that my photography is hanging up at the McDonalds in town, and made some changes to my photography blog! Plus, I have done several photo shoots that I am in love with! 

I almost went to Chicago...if you don't know what I am talking about you can find out here! Instead I found myself spending a lot of time in a couple of different hospitals. (To spend time with sweet sister and my cousin and her new bundle of joy.) Brooke is back to her crazy self, and Ceara and Kinleigh are doing well! 

I also got to spend a lot of quality time with family! We went to the lake a couple of times to hang out and relax. (I will miss the lake when the weather gets cold again.) I got to help throw a bridal shower for my lovely sister-in-law. AND I got to break in the best purchase ever! I found a vintage Dooney and Bourke at a yard sale for $1! Talk about a steal! 

All in all it was a great month! However, I am really excited to see what August will bring! Here is the August calendar!
