Happy Birthday Andy

Again, apologies that I don't have pictures for this, but we have one broken digital camera and one working (but non-digital) camera.

Andy turned 26 on Sunday! All weekend we did whatever Andy wanted. We started celebrating on Friday: Andy came home early from work and we headed straight to Golfsmith, where he got to purchase new golf clubs! He has been waiting for this day for a long time! Everyone pooled together and he was able to get the very set he's had his eye on: Callaway X20s. We went to Central Market, picked up some crab cakes, our favorite block of cheese, meat, baguette slices, and a bottle of wine. We added some grapes and strawberries, and our favorite date night meal was complete! We set this delicious spread all over the coffee table and feasted while we watched The Incredibles.

Saturday morning we were up early and heading to Leonard Golf Links, our favorite driving range to try out those new clubs. We stopped at Panera for breakfast and swung by the house to pick up Berkley and take him to the Kimbell's lawn. This is Berkley's favorite place to go. As soon as he's off the leash he makes a mad dash for the water fountain. He spent the entire time splashing around in the fountain, chasing after his wubba kong, and having the time of his life. We all got home completely worn out, spending the rest of the afternoon snoozing on the couch.

That evening we went to our friends Jimmy and Waverlee's house. They just finished building a house out in Aledo, so we got to see the place- it's beautiful! We spent a great evening with friends, delicious food (Jimmy, those bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeno peppers were to die for!) and fireworks.

Sunday morning we made it in at the Village and heard Matt give a fabulous talk on Luke 19.11-44. Every Christian needs to hear this message- it was terrifying and assuring at the same time.

We wanted to walk around TCU and see all the new buildings, so we picked Berkley up and took him with us. We stayed in this huge lawn and threw the frisbee until Berkley refused to move and passed out on the grass. We walked around the new campus while it started to sprinkle and ended up at a tree swing. Andy pushed me on the swing for a while while Berkley just sprawled out on the grass watching. It was my favorite part of the entire day.

So, that was our Birthday/Fourth of July weekend. It was a wonderful time for our family. Happy Birthday Andy!
