BUSY!

I can't believe it's been a couple of weeks since I posted! We're still busier than ever.

July 4th weekend was wonderful! The weather was perfect. We went to Lake Gaston on Saturday, the 3rd, to visit with the Wallace side of the family. It's so great to see everyone and catch up. We spent most of the day at the house that Aunt Barbara and Uncle Roy rented. My cousin, Donald, his wife, Amanda, and their 2 boys, Brian and Eric were up from Florida--it's always fun to hang out with them. Especially since we don't get to see them but twice a year (if we're lucky). Then, for dinner we drove over to Uncle Bob and Aunt Jackie's. Oh man, I could go for one of those hamburgers off the grill right about now! We always have a blast cuttin' up and telling stories with the Wallaces. :)

We left the lake after dinner and drove straight to Atlantic Beach to stay with the Jennings crew. We stayed at "A Place at the Beach" at Grandpa Don & Grandma Sybil's place. It was so nice to just sit in a chair on the beach and read my Twilight book (yes, I am a Twilight dork now!). We had great seafood and great times just relaxing with family. We drove back home Monday afternoon, and had to prepare for the short work week.

The next weekend we were finally at home!! We spent our time cleaning and doing yard work that was waaaaaaayyy past due. It is so nice to just stay at home sometimes...I am such a homebody! I love to just come home, cook a meal, and cuddle on the couch with Jeff.

Being at home didn't last long. This past weekend we were in Fuquay for a surprise party for Jake. Amanda rented an inflatable slip-n-slide and bought decorations and food for everyone. But go figure, it stormed like crazy all afternoon and night on Saturday! We still got to take turns on the slip-n-slide when the lightning, thunder and rain would let up occasionally. Everyone had a great time, and I know Jake was surprised! :)

Sunday, we went to the Durham Bulls park to watch the USA national team play Korea. Jeff and I bought tickets for Jake for his birthday. It was storming, yet again, on the way to the park, so we opted to go grab some sushi for dinner and wait for the storm to clear out. Dinner was GREAT and the storm rolled out, so we went to the game. We stayed about an hour because the storm clouds returned again! It was just a rainy weekend. But we needed the rain, so it's hard to complain.

This weekend will be another Fuquay weekend! Christin and Jason are getting married!!!!! I am so excited for them! I am taking off work Friday to take part in all the bridal party fun of getting nails done and being treated to a luncheon before we get ready for the rehearsal that night. The wedding is inside at Fuquay Baptist--and thank goodness because it's supposed to be HOT! We're going to have a great time, and I will post pictures next week hopefully of the event! :)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far! Thanks for keeping tabs on the blog! :)
