Summer Update!

Summer has flown by and July is coming and going way too fast! We'll be celebrating my birthday this month, our anniversary in August, and Frank's birthday in September. Goodness gracious...before we know it, it's going to be Christmas. Overreaction? Sorry.

After we wrapped up wedding celebrations in June, we experienced...ummm how do I say...a month with a BUSTED air conditioner?!?! I'll spare you my complaining...it's finally fixed!

At the beginning of June we got a dog!

Meet Ellard:

Ellard is a "retired" CCI dog. He was released from the program at the end of May because of "fearful behavior"...which is fine with us! He turned 2 in June and is a Golden Retriever-Yellow Lab cross. His temperament is as sweet as can be, he's very calm, and a huge snuggle bug. (I know my non-dog friends are shaking their heads at me...)

For July 4th, we continued with tradition and spent the day with Lindsay & Travis. We also hung out with Lindsay's high school friend, Anna and her husband, Frank. Anna was also a matron of honor in Lindsay & Travis's wedding and I got to know her very well over the past few months. It was a fun day of sunshine, swimming, and cooking out.

Ellard wasn't a fan of swimming...he preferred to lounge.

That's our summer so far. I hope y'all are having a great summer too!

Mandy's Baby Shower

Last weekend we showered Mandy with lots of love & baby goodies! The shower was decorated perfectly with the sweetest touches, here and there.

I'm always so excited to see Laura and her daughter, Veda Jane -- who celebrated her 1st birthday at the end of June! I can't believe how fast this sweet girl is growing up!

A sweet giraffe blanket from Lindsay...

...a precious monogrammed lovie from Mallory!

Veda Jane was bored with all the gift opening, so she grabbed her purse...

and wore it as a necklace.

Congratulations to the mom-to-be!

I can't wait to meet Layla Claire :)

The Meyers!

Lindsay & Travis are MARRIED!!!

Last weekend, we gathered with a bunch of college friends to watch these two exchange their vows.

The entire weekend was simply beautiful.

Frank and I arrived in Athens on Thursday for a laid back evening of dinner and drinks. It was fun to hang out with the bride, groom and their families -- they were beaming with excitement!
