Inspired

I, like my cousin Stacey Michelle, have been out of the blogging loop lately. In an out of town, taking over the vintage domain of Bryan/College Station, curling my hair... these are all excuses I could throw your direction. The truth is I have just lacked the proper inspiration and I have Starsy to thank for helping me get my act together. Today is Thursday, and I am really glad for that. Why? Here is why.

CarlsBad and JanPie are on their way to get me, then we will be heading to Rockport, Texas. Yes, as I live and breathe and type I am going down to the coast! I am very excited to be visiting this city where my family has planted so many roots and I have so many fond memories. Beach time, girls time, Pam time. Heck, I may even take a midnight swim in Pepaw's pool! Say I won't. Rockport memories below.

The Gillis Family lets 5 year olds drive 4 wheelers. Helmets are for wimps.

One of our many matchy-matchy 4th of Julys. Thank goodness our mothers had serious style.

I am guessing this was before Nana decided to re-do the kitchen/dining area. I am not featured in this photo but the Gillis men are, so take it or leave it. Those walls have seen alot of eating. And I mean alot.

I am not going to be visiting that specific house in Rockport because my Nana has retired to the lovely suburbs of Austin, Texas and no longer lives there. But the house pictured is special to me and my family peeps because of all the love and laughs we have shared there. Moving on!

Life has been good to me these past couple of weeks! I was lucky enough to head out to Cedar Creek lake with Ryan and the entire Nemec clan for a luxurious vacation time. The company was great and so was the lovely home we stayed in. Special thanks to Jim Clifton for lending me a room.. We have never officially met, but I feel like you deserve a shout out on the blog. I now know that the ONLY way to have a lakehouse is if you can have a pool in the backyard.. what a life. Go ahead and check out my lake pics.









Thanks again to the Nemec fam for having me and welcoming me. They were such lovely hosts :)
What else can we look forward to?? Cassie's baby getting hear. Easton, if you can read yet (which I am sure you can seeing how your mother and grandparents are average to above average educators) PLEASE come out soon! So excited to make a trip to Austin to meet both new babies, Colin and Easton. I will be updating the blog soon with pictures of both newborns, because who doesn't love babies?

Love to you all and Bye, say bye!
