Finally. A BREAK!

This summer has just been GO GO GO GO GO!
Man. It's nice to be able to finally rest!

Expo was a GREAT experience! It was a busy and tiring week, but it was also very fun and enjoyable. I did a lot, and my mom and I made some really good friends. I didn't get any call backs, but Jami Ferrar Agency said that they couldn't really sign me here in Texas and if I was ever out in Los Angeles to look them up. I also got first runner up in Monologue Auditions and got a trophy! :)

It felt SO good to be home after that week, and in that week we all got a BIG surprise! Mom told us she's pregnant! It took a little while for us to warm up to the idea of having another little one in the family, but of course we're VERY excited! We're all, with the exception of my dad, hoping for a girl, and I think mom and dad have agreed on a girl name, but we'll keep that quiet for now! ;)

Pretty soon, it was time to head off to South Padre Island!! Everyone was very excited to get on the road and get away from Plainview for a week! We stopped off the first night in San Antonio and went to The River Walk. It was very cool, and I had a lot of fun! We stayed in San Antonio over night than headed out to South Padre the next day. The first day and second day's weather was not wonderful, but the rest of the weekend was beautiful, and I think my mom and dad along with everyone else had a really good time!

We're finally home and it's relaxation time! Mom's been taking it easy due to the pregnancy, and we're all trying to help her get along. She's been getting sick so we're just praying that she stays healthy and feeling good for the rest of the pregnancy! I'm taking it slow, chilling out all day and just enjoying the remainder of the summer!

With Brandi, Shay, Addie, and Emerson leaving Plainview, we're going to miss them GREATLY but we'll visit lots with them, and it will all be good!!

Everyone enjoy their summer while they can - it's almost over (:
