Beach Vacation Looks and Life Update

The end of June and beginning of July have seriously been a whirlwind for me! We got back from Cancun, celebrated a Birthday, headed out to the island (South Padre Island) to celebrate Fourth of July on the beach, then I headed to Houston to visit some amazing friends of mine! Y’all, I’m tired.  I thought that having time off from work would mean time to rest, but here I am, “go, go, GO!” Apparently, I live for the busy life, but I may have already known that, ha!
