Busy August

Hello again everyone...August is flying by so quickly! The weekends keep popping up so fast.that the weeks are just blending into one. We were supposed to be busy planning our wedding but unfortunately more important things keep coming up. Last weekend was Leigh Ann's (Laura's big sister) birthday so we were headed to Dallas Friday afternoon for a little birthday celebration and an engagement photo session. When we reached San Marcos we received a phone call from Kevin's mom and turned right back around to San Antonio. We dropped Lilly off with our fabulous neighbor Sandy and the three dachsunds...Oscar, Woody, and Peanut for the weekend. (We owe her huge...so any creative suggestions would be greatly appreciated). We got to Houston around midnight and went straight to the TX med. center to check on Kevin's grandfather who was in the icu preparing for emergency brain surgery. Needless to say our weekend consisted of lounging in the waiting area of the hospital with family, but we are happy to report that his grandfather is making much needed progress and is well on his way to recuperation. There is nothing like hanging out in a hospital all weekend to see how well you have it..much less trying to sleep there.That was by far the worst nights sleep either of us has ever endured! There are lots and lots of families who are struggling for life every minute of every day for several weeks... and we certainly admire their courage and their hope day in and day out. We could barely manage for a weekend.
As for this weekend we are either heading back to Houston to visit Kevin's grandfather or traveling up to Granbury for wedding portraits attempt #2...and a nice get away for our stressful work of week. We'll let you know what other exciting events play out this weekend. Until then stay safe, enjoy the weekend no matter how short it may seem, and enjoy your families and loved ones as they are not around nearly long enough.
