Well well, welcome back.
I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July weekend. I know we did.
The weekend started with us getting our sliding glass door replaced. That thing has leaked terribly since we bought the house, so it was about time we got it fixed. The hottest day of the year, and we had a huge hole in the side of the house....brilliant! Oh well, it turned out fabulous. We replaced the door with a french door where both sides open. I think it's beautiful and I can't want til the fall when we can open it all up and feel the cool breeze.
New door only means one thing: SHOPPING! We gladly ditched the vertical blinds and went shopping for window coverings. I had been wanting new curtains for that door ever since I saw my girlfriend Erin's new house. They had this adorable set-up on their back door and I wanted to do something similar. So I dragged Ian and Haley around town to pick out the perfect curtains. It turned out just as I had pictured!
Saturday was a busy a day for us. We spent sometime at my brother and his wife's house. Dang that girl knows how to cook. It was well worth blowing my diet to enjoy her phenomenal cooking and desserts. Someday I hope to learn two things from her. First, how to cook; second, how she cooks so well but stays so thin! After my their cook out, Haley and I headed home for some girl time, which I enjoyed very much. She was mellow and took an extra long bubble bath.
Ian went to his buddy's house to celebrate his BFF's birthday. So after Haley went to bed, I got to sneak in a little cleaning. It is always amazing how quickly you can get things done when the baby is down for the night.
Sunday we headed down to the lake. We had an amazing time. We rode the jet-ski, did some tubing, and swam. I had a very enjoyable time just floating around and chatting with my momma. The weather held up perfectly and I finally got the sun I've been wanting for so long. That evening we had some amazing smoked ribs and all the fixen's thanks to my parents. It was SO good.
Today and tomorrow Ian and I plan to take on all the odds and ends that need to be done around the house. So wish us luck on that. Tonight we have another family BBQ to attend. Should be a good time. Always is with my family.
It's hard to believe that one short year ago, around this time...Ian and I decided to have a baby. And here she is. She has forever changed our lives and I couldn't imagine my life without her. It is always different approaching holidays as a first time parent. You're never sure what to expect and nothing is every simple again. Traditions are forever changed, and new traditions present themselves...she's pretty much amazing.
Well, that is all that I have for you today. Happy Fourth of July! Stay cool....
Until next time....
