Hadley Designs & a firework weekend (:

I love when July rolls around (or is about to roll around) and it's time for BBQs & fireworks.  That is when it really feels like summer!  This past Saturday night we sure had some fun Josh spoiled me.  First he took me out to dinner at a Coppell favorite, "Hard Eight BBQ" it had the perfect Texas atmosphere & of course delicious food to go along with it.

Highly recommend the brisket! 

Yes in case you were wondering the corn was heavenly.

Every week I count down to date night with my best friend (:

That guy is standing in a warmer full of meat!

 It was a blast.  If you're ever in Texas you have to stop by and check it out but be prepared to wait in line!  It's a pretty popular place.  After dinner we came home for a movie before heading out for snow cones and a firework show in Allen.  Turned out to be one of the best we've ever seen and it was fun to be able to take Skamp with us!

4th if July flowers from my sweetheart!  Works a 12 hour
day and still stops at the store to surprise his wife (:

Josh had a great week selling.  He has experienced several tender mercies and kind people.  He met a korean family who even shared some food with him - so sweet (:

My two guys (: Skamp loves his dad!

Delicious!

We have had a wonderful Sunday.  My reliefsociety lesson went well and so did our first day in primary - Josh is a great teacher!  It is so fun to be with the little kids.  They really say the darndest things.  Josh is so sweet and took me and Skamp on a little river walk Sunday stroll after church.

We've been having a lot of fun out here in Dallas and can't believe the summer is already half way over!  Time flies that's for sure.  A lot of people have been asking me what I do with my time while I am here and it's time to finally reveal some things I have been working on.  I have started my own little design business - H A D L E Y Designs (:  Right now my focus is on invitations (custom ones as well), along with business cards and any other design requested.  Here are a few examples below.  I am in the process of setting up my Etsy Store and Facebook page so stay tuned but feel free to contact me if you are interested & please spread the word!  I have decided to follow my passion and am excited to see where it takes me.  Message me or call if you are interested in affordable custom invites for any occasion (:
