This weekend I went to Michigan for my girlfriends daughter's wedding.  She wanted me to take pictures and luckily I was able to borrow Trish's camera since mine broke the week before the wedding!
It was a beautiful wedding at the beach and my girlfriend Debbie left no detail undone!  So many little things she thought of. Like the centerpiece at the kids table was buckets and shovels for the kids.
 
 And...

It's been 30 years since we met.  Lisa and I came from different areas and Sue and Diane came from a private school.  But somehow in 9th grade we all connected.
We stayed in contact all these years, were in each others weddings and when Diane moved to Tennessee, we drove out after she had her first child. Friendship... we've been through it all together. Some of us have lost one or more of our parents,...

This past weekend our house was filled with 25 girls on and off throughout the entire weekend.  It was Chelsea's sorority retreat weekend and the girls truly were a joy to be around! They did everything on their own, cooking, cleaning, putting up tents and planning of their meetings. The only thing they needed help with was having Zach help them build a fire.  I told them from the beginning I would...

So I think its fair to say that I'm addicted to running!  It's crazy to think, this one time smoker would one day be running half marathons and setting goals to push myself a little further each time I go out, but there is something about it that I miss on the days I don't run.  If I hear certain songs that are on my playlist while driving in the car, I want to run!  
Add to that addiction a little...

So we took a few weeks off with vacations and all, but Jill and I are back with our team up thursday. This week we did "me time"  I love how this week our pictures are total opposites.  One of kicking back and enjoying some wine and the other of getting out and running, both of which I enjoy doing.
 
 

Have you seen it?  I have and I think I'm in love... though I'm still trying to be skeptical about it? Would I use it enough to justify the purchase?
I mostly want it for books, but the fact that it can do so many other things is a plus!  I was forever waiting on the price of the kindle to come down, but now this makes me question the kindle? My house is being taken over by all the books I have,...

This month I got my layouts done and then took off on vacation and never got them posted here until finally tonight!

This week has been all about Zach!  
Lot's of activity going on in his life this summer!  For starters he went for an interview at Giant Eagle and got the job!  Now he works there along with his sister and both cousins!
 
then on Friday we went to Tried and True tattoo and Zach got his first tattoo.  Something he's been talking about and planning on for quite a while now.  He wanted to...

On Friday morning we had breakfast reservations at the castle in the country of Norway in Epcot. We had a great time and a great breakfast, and while it was about the Princesses of Disney, we were more entertained by our waitress.  In all the countries of Epcot the people that work their come from that country.  So we were educated by our adorable waitress of some interesting things about Norway,...

So on Wednesday evening we head back to Orlando for two more days at Disney.  We checked into a new hotel and couldn't wait to check things out!
