September 2009

I have been a horrible blogger as of late and for that, I am sorry! I am going to try very hard to at least update monthly with what we have been up to.

This summer has been a whirlwind and truly one of the best of my life. Weddings, family reunions, vacations, bbqs, happy hours, birthday parties, dinners in our backyard, continuing to work on our house, and so many other wonderful times & memories made.

This month we started the month out the way I wish we could start every month...with a vacation!! We went to San Fransisco to celebrate Shannon's 30th Birthday and Greg's Masters Degree over Labor Day weekend. And it was such a fun trip!! We did SO much, went on so many adventures, had so much good food, laughed so much our sides hurt, had a wonderful time visiting with my Mom, Steve, Chase & Joe's cousin Jenny. It was an amazing vacation with fantastic friends and lovely hosts. Any vacation that includes wine tasting, seeing fortune cookies being made (by a woman wearing no shoes), fancy food, Red Headed Sluts (the drink, dirties), interpretive dancing with an innertube, Alcatraz, breakfast in the Bay, Sangria, my brother serving me fancy food I can't pronounce, riding bikes in Golden Gate park, singing happy birthday to my best friend, falling asleep in our "going out clothes" at 9pm because 10pm seemed soooo far away, family, best friends, and my amazing husband...that's a fantastic vacation.

And then the rest of the month wasn't quite as exciting (it never is, since it's just "life" not vacation!) but luckily I love the little things too. So I got to visit with my Grammy, we took my Dad & Uncle Roy to the Rockies game to celebrate my Dad's birthday, we put up Uppercase Living expressions in our house that I just love and had an Uppercase Living party, had friends over for a happy hour that ended up lasting till midnight, and have gone for walks hand in hand with my husband holding the leashes of our tiny dogs as the season transitions into Fall. It's been a good month.
