just an update

Hope you guys enjoy the latest pictures. I spent last week in NC getting wedding stuff done and it was so much fun! We did the cake tasting, I got my dress (thank you tremendously Annemie!), figured out my flowers, and got invitation stuff done. On top of that, I got to see all of my amazing friends and family. It was great to see everyone and to just catch up on what's going on in all of our lives.
Well, today I have been doing wedding stuff as well. I'm working on getting my save-the-dates done and updating our wedding page. We just finished registering. We registered at sears(wonder who's idea that was!), Macys, and Target. Planning the wedding has just been a blast. I just can't wait to get married. It is gonna be amazing.
This morning, we participated in a walk/run that the Midland Rockhounds sponser to help raise money for cancer. It was awesome. Steph and I actually participated in the event, and the guys rode around in a golf cart handing out water...wonder what was harder..haha! The event kicked off last year, when one of the players, Jed Morris, was diagnosed with leukemia in the middle of the baseball season. However, this year, Jed is a healthy cancer survivor and has returned back to Midland to continue playing.
Speaking of baseball, it has been so much fun being able to go to the games. However, Patrick has had a frustrating month. I guess that's the way baseball goes, but I would really appreciate your prayers for him. It's just very easy to get frustrated over it. We both realize that God is in full control and has us where we are right now for a reason. We understand that God has given Patrick such a wonderful talent, but it still proves to be difficult sometimes. Patrick continues to play hard and I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of him. We are very optimistic that this season will go very well.
I have some more pictures that I'm putting in a slideshow that should be up shortly. Hope everyone is doing well and having a great summer!

On the road again
