October and Brothers

October is almost over, but I wanted to write a post about my two brothers who have October birthdays! Eli's birthday is October 1st--He is a freshmen in college this year! I just can't believe it :) One day he will be playing professional soccer....I just know it. It's exciting to watch him on the field, so focused on the game that he loves. My little brother who is not so little anymore :)

My older brother Abraham's birthday is October 25th! He is in flight school right now with the Navy learning how to fly helicopters....so cool, right? I know! It's pretty awesome to have siblings who you can brag about! These two brothers of mine (I have four brothers) are pretty special, and I love them a lot!

Happy birthday to you both!!!

Enjoy some pictures!

Jennah and I went to the final free country concert of the season and had so much fun!!! We saw Frankie Ballard, Danny Gokey, and Emerson Drive :)

My favorite part of Emerson Drive was the fiddler!! He was so talented!

Talk about blessed! These are all unedited photos from basically my backyard :) I walk out my apartment and get to look at this view! Something I will definitely miss when I leave this city.

Halfway through October!

Tonight we are going to the last free country concert of the Fall series hosted by a local radio station! It has been so fun!!! 3 Saturdays in a row of great country music for free...nothing can beat that!!!
