Happy Anniversary!

I just want to say Happy 22 month anniversary to my sweet husband! I love you so much!

Jess' team wore PINK jerseys at there game tonight. I found it fitting to wear pink and have our picture taken. Especially since I havent gotten a chance to get one of us in a Memphis uniform. Of course Jess loves taking pictures in front of his friends :)

Last week while Jess was on his 8 day road trip me and my family went to the Alabama Gulf Coast. It was absolutely amazing! We relaxed and had a wonderful time. My parents are workoholics so it was so nice for me to see them relax and get some sun. The beach we went to was called Orange Beach and I look forward to going back next year! I will post the family pictures we took later after I get them from my mom.

I have been completely wrapped up in reading The Help. It is such a great book I can hardly put it down! Since Jess has been back it has been so hard to read it but Im almost done! Only 8 chapters to go! Speaking of....Im going to read it right now!

I hope yall have a great week! We love and miss yall dearly!

Love,

Sister, Sister!

This week has been a fun one so far! My sister returned from Round Rock with me and we have been having a great week! We still have so much fun stuff planned and I cant wait to do it! Jess was here for 4 days but left this morning at 4am to go out to the West Coast for 4 days then on to Colorado for another 4 days. My parents come into town late Thursday night and we will head to the Alabama Coast for a couple of days! Im so excited to get some beach time in!

I am excited to see my parents but part of me just wants to spend time with my sister. She is really growing up and it kind of breaks my heart a little bit. She is becoming more aware of things and turning into a young lady. I know that this is what happens but I cant help but to be sad about it. Growing up she has had so many struggles and I just want to protect her from all of the ones she is going to endure in the coming years of growing up and turning into a college student. Even though she is 5 years younger than me she has taught me and still teaching me so much about life. She has so much color and thrive for life, I admire her so much for that because the situations she has been thru are so trying and would get me down and out in a heart beat. I wish I could see life thru her eyes, she sees things so differently. There are so many things I want to tell her and wish she could know and I hope one day I can tell her. Until then I will say this....

Dear Em,
The past couple of days we have spent together have been great. You are fun, witty and totally underestimated. Those girls at your school have no idea what they are missing out on and if I were them I would be lining up to be your friend. You are so strong and even though I am older than you I admire you and wish I could be more like you. I know I have given you a hard time about things or been the "mean" big sister but if I could take it all back I would. You mean the world to me and the respect I have for you cannot be measured. I love you with all of my heart and know you are going to do great, huge, wonderful things in your life. You have already changed mine for the better and being able to watch you continue to grow up is going to be one of the greatest things in my life.
I love you,
Eri

I hope yall are having a great week so far! Only a couple more days until the weekend! We love and miss yall!
Love,
