Your help is needed!!!!

Update: 7/23 Thankfully Alexis and her boyfriend were found safe a few days ago...Thank you so much for your prayers!  It certainly is every parent's worst nightmare!

Some friends of ours' daughter is missing.  She's been missing for a week.  They are absolutely beside themselves.  She left with her friend, but neither have been heard from at all.  PLEASE would you post this, forward this and share this flyer???  Even if you are not in the area that she's suspected to be in (we aren't either)...PLEASE share!!!!  We need to get her picture out there!!!  Time is not on their side...PLEASE!!!

Vacation

Its been an INCREDIBLY busy month!!!

We started it off by heading to Lake Texoma for a few days:

One hot family after 2 taking a few walking trails

Followed by a ten day trip to see family in SD:

 the cousins

My sister & I ran in our hometown's 4th of July race

I ran my first race: a 10K

I ran it in under 1:08...I was pretty impressed considering I had never ran over 4 miles before that day! (We did walk a little bit of race, though).

 Then we headed to see to the rest of the family...

And since we didn't think the 17 hrs we'd been in the car was long enough, we drove another 3 to see Mt. Rushmore with Grandma & Papaw.

 Stopped at Storybook Island to saw the Cat in the Hat (Megan's favorite of all time...and she HAPPENED to be wearing her Cat shirt, in fact!)  We also saw many of Rachel's favorite princesses...

And dalmatians

Then we topped it off by celebrating Grandma's 80th birthday a little early.

Her birthday isn't until December, but since we're not coming back in the middle of winter, we figured we'd celebrate while we were back.  Here the girls are with Grandma & their cousin, Ryley.
