Summer in July

I've been back from Europe now for a month....
And July has gone by WAY too fast!
Everything I have planned to do...
hasn't happend.

But everything I didn't have planned has created the best part of the summer!



SUMMER Camp!


Ginny and I with our own batman!

Two Weeks ago, I got the chance to be a sponsor at a church youth camp called Sonday’s Camp!  The guy that leads Breakaway at A&M, Ben Stuart was the pastor of the camp.  Dutton Band was the band for worship! It was a really good experience to see how God is working in others lives!





Taco Tuesday Night!

A few great Dutton Band Songs to Download


Welcome Home

The Youth Group

For Tiffany's  birthday...

We went to Sprinkles and went on a Segway Tour!













READING




We finally finished the book The HELP!
My grandma, mom, sister, and I finished it! 
It is an amazing book that everyone should read!
We can't wait for the movie!

The movie comes out August 10!
So read it in the next 10 dayS!



Hope you are enjoying your summer!

London, England

LONDON LONDON LONDON


These cars were EVERYWHERE around London. Aren't they cool!?

The Famous Red Telephone booths!


Pine Cone building in the financial area of London.


We went to go see Mamma Mia! on Broadway!
It was so entertaining! The broadway in London is SO laid back. People wear whatever they want and they get up and clap, dance, and sing whenever they want during the musical.
It was really fun and such a different experience from New York or Dallas! I was so glad we decided to do something fun and relaxing before we left Europe. Mamma Mia was the perfect show because of ABBA and they spoke in an English Accent!


The guard by the Crown of Jewels!


We went to TEXAS EMBASSY! 
It is a restaurant that has TEX MEX. Texans also write on their wall!




I signed my name by my BIG is tridelta! And my other sisters! The plaque below is the actual sign when Texas had the embassy created after the Battle of Alamo!
TEXAS is the best state!


 The whole group ate at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese!
It is the oldest running restaurant in London. Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson used to eat here! After we ate, our professors gave out special awards! The group voted on most likely to....
I won....
MOST LIKELY TO OVERPACK! haha.
The sad part is it is a very accurate statement!

Courtney Yankowski
Thank you so much for being the best traveling friend EVER! Thanks for sharing a bed with me, helping me pack my suitcase, shopping for many souvenirs and everything else!
LOVE YOU!


SIGHTSEEING!
I got really sick in London. I was SO ready to go home... but it wasn't going to stop me!
I saw Westminster Abby but didn't have enough time to go in...
I guess that means I have to go back soon!
We saw Big Ben, Towers of London, Lilly Whites, Mamma Mia, visited the Bank of England,
ate fish and chips and walked all of London.



BIG BEN

BUCKINGHAM PALACE!



HARRODS!
I Could live here! The store was unbelievable! I've never seen anything like it!
They literally had EVERYTHING! I couldn't resist. 
After Paris... now London...
My suitcase was definitely overweight!




London was fun. But America was calling my name!
I got home on July 3 just in time for July 4!
There's no place like Texas! I finally have my family, sister, brother, Tex-Mex, homemade ice cream, roomates, best friends, Miss TEXAS!,  a reasonable phone bill, free internet, free restrooms, private transportation, my pets, bed, shower and no more living out of a box!
 GOD Bless America!
Everything is Bigger in Texas!




E3 has been a great experience and I have learned a lot about myself, my beliefs, the world, friends, business and so much more! I'm so blessed to meet new friends and share my trip with my old friends.
I still can't believe I was gone for 5 weeks. The first 5 an experience of a lifetime and I can't wait to see what the 2nd half of summer bring.




Summer 2.... here we go!
