We spent the afternoon eating pizza and playing games, and with all of the tickets her boys won they chose to get a big bag of army men that they could play with together. They were seriously some of the sweetest, most polite kids I've ever met! I'm really going to miss all of them!

Saying goodbye to our neighbors
Last Thursday I spent the afternoon at Gattiland saying bye to our sweet neighbors who moved away. Jennifer and I became friends the moment we introduced ourselves two years ago. Our husbands work for the same company and were both doing quite a bit of traveling at the time, so I loved having someone right across the street to share those experiences with!

Random thoughts on a Monday
- I am finally feeling like myself again! I don't think I realized how much my work schedule was affecting me. I was in such a rut, and I'll go ahead and say it; I was depressed. I feel like I was going through the motions of life, but I wasn't actually experiencing it. Over the past few weeks I've found myself smiling more, laughing more, and actually enjoying things again. It feels good to be back!
- I've been on a green smoothie kick lately. I've tried a few different variations, and I've liked them all. The Ninja chops everything up pretty well, and I've learned these taste best poured over ice. This one has spinach, strawberries, blueberries, half a pear, a carrot, kiwi, coconut water, and a few mint leaves. I'm normally not a fan of mint, but it gives the smoothie such a refreshing taste! It's the perfect afternoon snack!
- Brandon had to work this weekend, but I drove to Yoakum for our friend, Kayla's, wedding. Michelle and I grew up with Kayla and her two sisters, and we have so many memories together. It was great to see all of them and celebrate this chapter in Kayla's life. Congrats, KK!!
- I spent Father's Day with my mom, dad, and PaPaw. I don't see PaPaw as often as I did when we lived in Austin, so I'm always excited to visit with him. I've been wanting to video some of our conversations with him, so we can have something to look back on one day, and yesterday was the perfect opportunity! Dad turned on the video camera, and PaPaw had us laughing the entire time! He told stories that we'd never even heard before! It was perfect. For Father's Day I updated the pictures and frames that were in my dad's office. I went up to the office with him yesterday to find a place for everything, and I think it turned out great!

| A little fuzzy, I know, but the rest of the pics are on Michelle's camera. This little cutie is our favorite two-year-old! After we took this and sent it to B, she said, "I want Brandon." So sweet! |

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I'll share more pictures from the wedding as soon as Shell emails them to me. Happy Monday, friends!!

Blog Changes
Hi, friends! I hope you're all enjoying your Friday!
I finally changed my blogger URL to match the name of my blog. I wasn't sure how this would affect my readers, but since everyone is switching to Bloglovin' now I figured it was a good time to make the change. I'm hoping this doesn't cause anyone too much trouble! {I apologize to Brandon, Mom, Dad, and Michelle. I'll get on each of your phones and change it for you.}
I also "claimed" my blog on Bloglovin' and added the button to my sidebar. I've already been using the Bloglovin' app on my phone to read blogs, so I'm following all of you guys already :)
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know! Have a great weekend, everyone!!
