July??

July??  

I'm having a difficult time understanding where in the world June went!  I guess those myths are true-


1. Time flys when you have fun or 
2. Time flys when you get old.  


I'd prefer to go with the first scenario :).  


Last night Seth and I came to the conclusion that we must have skipped June-going from May to July!

As usual, we've been pretty busy.  I think I always say that though-I bet you guys are starting to really contemplate what we could be busy with.  But I promise we are!

One thing that keeps us busy is FOOD :).  Seth and I both enjoy food--anything to do with it--baking, cooking, grilling, EATING!  (We are going to be as big as houses one of these days-but not today).  We may decline to exercise or shop, but we will never decline a dinner invitation.  That also seems to be all we invite folks to do--come over for dinner :).  Last week we went over to one of my friend's home for PhillyCheesesteak Sandwiches that her husband has MASTERED!  It was very very tasty.  We enjoyed dinner and visiting with them.  Now we plan to have them over soon for something yummy.  We also had a dinner date with Seth's professor/mentor Zhao and her husband.  We invited them over for a 'Southern' Breakfast-grits, fried eggs, biscuits, and chip beef gravy.  Oh, how delicious it was.  When Seth's parents visited they brought Pear Honey (I had a difficult time sharing this!-It is one of my most favorite things that Seth's mother makes!).  We gave some to Zhao and Jonathan (her husband).

We have used our Cook cooler bag so much.  It is cute-handy-and I have enjoyed having it!

We've been busy with other things beside food-but I only want to blog about food-so that is that :).  Moving along.

July Fun Facts:

-Family Beach Week! Whoop Whoop!  Very excited about spending a whole week with my Fam-who I haven't seen in a while!  Seth and I-along with ALL of my family soooo look forward to this time and enjoy being together.  It is an annual tradition that we all LOVE.

-My lovely mother, my best pal, was born this month :).  Love you Mom and very glad that I get to spend your birthday driving down to the beach together!

-Seth's sister, Emily, was born during this hot month!  Have fun celebrating in Texas Em!

-A lot of my family were born this month. Henry, John Henry, Cara, Carsyn, Caroline, and Steve B.  We get to celebrate together!

-One of my best friends just got ENGAGED!  Soooooo very excited for A-Dub and Marty!  I played softball with Ashley-we were roommates in College our freshman year-she was a beautiful bridesmaid in my wedding-and will soon be a beautiful bride! :).

Ashley caught the bouquet at my wedding!

July also is Seth and my 11 month anniversary :).  He will be so thankful when we hit the 1 year mark!  We have been trying to plan our one year honeymoon-but we still don't know what is going to happen.  Right now we are planning on going to Park City.  We have even discussed using our Beach trip as our anniversary trip!

I better head out and start on my packing and beach preparation-we are trying to fit all our stuff in 2 carry-on bags...Ahhhhhh-Can this really happen?  It is going to be difficult!  I just wanted to do a quick blog to catch you up with life before we left.  Hope everyone has a great week!  Below is all the wonderful folks we are getting to spend a week with at the beach!
