My 25th birthday was a week-long blast! I celebrated with family, friends, co-workers and Richard. My sweet husband surprised me with flowers, took me purse shopping and then to a nice dinner at Jasper's! :) I can't believe I'm officially in my mid-20's...so excited for what the future has in store!

Capital One Math Corps Pilot Program
One of my events this month was a Math Corps Pilot Program with 30 fourth graders in the Communities in Schools Dallas Program. I LOVE this age! We spent 3 weeks with these kids learning financial literacy and life skills from top level executives. The best part was eating like a 4th grader...burgers, chicken fingers and pizza...yum! I was sad to see these kids go, but hope to have made a positive impact in their lives.

CARES Updates
In July we hosted an ice cream party and hot dog night! This was our first month serving only the Cliffs residents. As always, we had some of our favorite regulars in attendance. On a deeper note, we had the opportunity to assist a lady with MS in our property (she had to move to a different apartment this month). This was an eye-opening experience...and she was such a blessing to get to know! We also had the opportunity to babysit twins and a toddler for another CARES Team in need... we survived!
