July 4th, Birthday Weekend, & more!

Finally catching a break to blog!
This summer semester has been crazy busy but it is almost over! Praise the Lord!!

The Harrison girls finally made it to Mobile!
It was pretty difficult going from seeing them every.single.day then moving to college and not seeing them except for on some weekends so I was really glad to have them here!

They came down on Wednesday afternoon when I got off work and I cooked spaghetti and brownies. We ate, talked, and then it was raining so we drove around the campus to show the girls where I go to school.


On the fourth, I got up to have my quite time before everyone else got up and Emmy decided she wanted to come with me. I told her that she could sit on the balcony and eat her breakfast and play on her iPod until I finished but she had to be really quite while I read. She eventually gave it up and went inside and told Lorrie "I can't quit talking mommy". That was hilarious to me! It really was like she had been sleeping and quite for so long that she just had so much to tell me! I love that kiddo! :)
We went to the pool for a couple of hours but the sun never really came out...





Love Emmy's face in this picture! :)

Later that evening we went to O Charley's for supper and to the Battleship Park for fireworks! Probably the best fire work show I've ever seen besides Disney! 


AK and I shared pecan pie since our birthdays were both coming up...





The next day was another rainy day so we went to Zaxby's for lunch and went shopping for a couple of hours before they headed home...


While they were here, AK got snapchat and sent me this picture of Emmy :)
She can do the "duck face" better than anyone I know! 

They left about 5:00 that afternoon and my mom, sister, and Tyler got here around 8:00 to celebrate my birthday weekend! 
Saturday morning we went to Cracker Barrel to start of the birthday weekend with some yummy breakfast and then went shopping for the rest of the day!


On Sunday my daddy, Holt, and Granny came for my birthday lunch at Olive Garden. After we ate we came back to the apartment for cake and presents :)







I had a great birthday and I am so glad everyone got to come! :)

I ended that night with these girls singing happy birthday to me and praying for me... sweetest thing ever! I love them so much and it blesses me to see them raised in such a godly home! 

I am one paper and one final exam away from being finished with this semester. It has been a rough one since everything has been so compacted! I have really had to stay on top of school work and I will be glad for a break! I am heading home Thursday afternoon, Hillary graduates from Troy on Friday, and we are leaving from there headed to the World Series in South Carolina! I'm sure I will have much more to blog about when life slows down a little! Hope everyone has a great week! :)
