7 quick takes {no. 23} summertime...

{1}

I cannot believe it has been two and a half weeks since my last post here. Eek! As the song says, "Summertime, and the livin' is easy..." - but it doesn't lead to much blogging. I've missed you. I'm happy to be blogging today - thanks for being here!

We have a lot to catch up on!

I am in Houston now with my love. Life is so much better when we're together.

I am trying to stay cool down here, as it is extremely hot and humid. Whew, Texas! You really know how to bring the heat. Thank the Lord for air conditioning!

Michael & I are just getting started with exploring the area. We enjoyed a night out at the Sugarland Skeeters game courtesy of his current employer. It was a lovely summer evening. Minor league baseball is so fun! Maybe you saw this picture on my instagram account?

One awesome thing about being in Texas this summer is that we were able to hear the wonderful Bonnie of A Knotted Life give a talk! Michael and I were both really moved by the story of her son's miracle. I have read Bonnie's blog for a while now, so I thought I was familiar with the story, but hearing her tell it in person was something really special. Bonnie was such a delight to finally meet.
So much fun!

All last week I was gone for something very special: Michael & I went to Michigan for the wedding of my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law! We were so thankful to be there for all the wedding week fun and excitement.

We had an amazing time seeing family and witnessing their beautiful marriage. More details and pictures to come...

Would you keep Matthew & Jean in your prayers as they begin their married life together?

TGIF! I am really looking forward to this weekend! Last weekend was amazing, and this weekend hopefully we will get to relax and enjoy Houston. Anything I should be sure not to miss while I am down here?

Linking up with Jen & many more lovely bloggers! Have a great weekend, friends!
