Busy Busy Summer

I have escaped from my hole of no blogging!! I cannot believe it has been over 2 months since I have updated everyone on life! Crazy... Sorry I am such a slacker. Since Blake and I don't have internet at our house, it makes it quite difficult to blog on a regular basis. So... tonight we are hanging with Blake's sister (Summer) and brother-in-law (Matthew) so I have internet!! =) I don't even know where to begin in updating, so I will try to just hit the high points over the last few months.

April 16-- My friend, Amy (Callaway) Adams got married!!! Amy and I work together and are riding buddies to Montgomery every day. I am so blessed to be such great friends with these girls (and all the others) that I work with. God has truly blessed me with my first nursing job!

End of April... Summer's bachelorette weekend at the lake!! We had so much fun hanging out, singing some karaoke, and getting excited about Sum's wedding!


May 7... The BIG day!!! Summer Thaxton became Summer Watford, I got another awesome brother-in-law, and I had an amazing weekend with family. Even though I have only known Summer for 4 years, I feel like we have always been sisters. It was such a beautiful, and emotional, wedding. I am so happy that Summer and Matt get to experience marriage. I feel like God has taught me so much through being married for almost 2 years, and I can't wait for them to experience that same spiritual growth through marriage. Love y'all!!!! =)

Flashback... Same picture at my wedding and Sum's Wedding
 

May 13-15 -- Beach weeding with the Morgan's!! We had such a relaxing weekend filled with good seafood, lots of sun, and chilling with great friends!

May 21... Katie (Goode) Meek got married!!! Katie is a friend from nursing school and also works as a labor and delivery nurse. I love to hear and share work stories with her... only things that L&D nurses would want to talk about. haha! Love you, Katie!

June 4-- Meghan (Cox) Jones got married!!! Meghan is a college friend, roommate, study partner, partner in crime, and always such a joy to be around!! I was so blessed to be a part of her special day and to send her off as the last last of our group of nursing school friends to get married. The marriage circle is now complete! =) Haha!

Because it was Meghan's wedding weekend, lots of our college friends were in town. It was so fun to have everyone back together in Auburn!! We must do it again soon... everyone mark your calendars for a big tailgate/reunion for the AU/FL game this year. Be there or be square. Love and miss you girls!!

June 4-June 12... Week-long celebration of Blake's Grandmother and Grandaddy's 50th Wedding Anniversary. The week started off with a big party in Auburn with extended family and continued for the whole week at the beach down in Destin/ Miramar Beach, FL. Blake had school and I had to work... so we didn't get to go down to the beach until Thursday afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there relaxing and celebrating with his grandparents. It is such an amazing thing to see his grandparents still so in love after 50 years of marriage... what an example to see! Thank you, Grandmother and Grandaddy, just for who you both are and all you mean to me and Blake. Love y'all!







Well... I think that finally wraps things up!! Thanks for sticking with me if you made it all the way to the end! I know it was long, but like the title says... it is a busy busy summer for the Thaxton family! Hope everyone else is having a wonderful summer too!! Hopefully it won't be two more months before I update again!
