Lately

It's time to update what's been going on lately...

1. Tom started a new job working for a company that is the 2nd largest producer of natural gas in the U.S. This company is also #32 on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For. Monday, June, 6th, was Tom's first day as a Title Landman at Chesapeake Energy Corporation. I'm so proud of him and excited that he received this opportunity!

2. Ruby got a summer 'do because her thick coat caused her to get so overheated on walks and such. Poor thing looks a bit ridiculous but she'll feel better in the hot summer heat.

3. My total weight loss is now up to 14lbs. Amazingly, after eating lots of desserts, hush puppies, fries, fried shrimp, and lots of yummy seafood - I did NOT gain any weight while we were on vacation. I attribute this to all the swimming in the ocean, walking on the beach, and walking/shopping at the outlet mall. :) I have slowly been incorporating some running into my workout routine. I'm proud to say that 3 days ago I pushed myself to run 1 whole mile straight...and I did it! Then the next day I pushed myself more and ran 1.5 miles straight - no stopping!! The pic below is my happy self right after running 1.5 miles.

4. We took a vacation to Destin, FL from May 28, 2011 to June 3, 2011. It was so much fun to spend a week at the beach with friends. I will post more vacation pics later.

Dog Days of Summer

Man it has been super hot this week! I'm not sure what the thermometer actually read, but I know the heat index was in the 100's. Gross! All I have to say is I am so thankful for A/C.

Three words describe this past summer weekend: fun, busy, & HOT! Our weekend fun technically started on Thursday with our friends Daniel and Lindsay's wedding rehearsal and dinner. We were so excited to celebrate this exciting time with them, and Tom was honored to be able to stand up with Daniel as a groomsman. Their wedding was on Friday night at the Old Trinity of Paseo. (Click the link to read about the history of this building, it was originally from Canada.) Everything was beautiful and charming, and Old Trinity is such a wonderful place to get married.

The happy couple.

Saturday our nephew Michael on my side wanted to come stay with his Aunt Sara and Uncle Tom, so we picked him up and we had all kinds of fun playing on the Wii, eating pizza, watching movies, coloring, going to the park, eating fro yo at Pink Swirl with Grammy and Granddad (my mom and dad), and playing with Ruby. Ruby and Michael are best buds now.

Playing in the park was H-O-T, Hot! After we got back from the park it didn't take Ruby long to figure out how to cool down.

After we got Michael all settled in and ready for bed Saturday night, Ruby hopped up to snuggle with him and they fell asleep together. It was so darn cute!

We all got up Sunday morning and went to church. Michael went to a Pre-K Sunday school class. Then we took him into big church with us because I was helping lead worship, so we thought he would think it was neat to see me sing. Tom said about 3 minutes into the worship service Michael said, "Can I go back into my class now?" Ha! Guess worship with Aunt Sara wasn't as fun as playing in the sandbox.
