Yikes! Long hiatus from the blog. I think everytime I set a goal of blogging more I fail miserable. Failed attempt again. From now on I don't think I'll set a goal of blogging more, just enjoying life and remembering to blog about it when I can. Because my ever so wise Grandma's both told me they like to keep up with things via my blog. Funny how technology can change means of communication.
Wow, since the last blog alot has happened. Chance is settling in great. It's like he was meant to be a part of our "family". Even though he's technically Adam's dog, I still stake a little claim in him. Him and Tuck get a long really well. Now I just wish they had a big yard to run around in. One day....ahhh my wishful house wanting dreams!
Adam and I went to Florida in May to my parents new house right out side of Ft. Myers. It was a great time. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the sand, sun and eachother's company. We got to do some fun things while down there, my favorite part, kyaking in the ocean and a real Manitee swam up next to our boat! So cool, unbelievably big, but rediculously cool for them to be in their habitat and see them, and not in a zoo! We swam by the pool, checked out some local restaurants and enjoyed the site on Sanibel Island. I can see that being a yearly getaway!
In June my mom sister and I traveled to Milwaukee with some family friends, Sue and E Pape. We had a great "girl" time. We did some shopping, went to a comedy show, toured the Miller brewery and then went to the main attraction, the Michael Buble concert at the Bradly Center. Oh be still my heart, he is amazingly talented and a great live performer. He kept your attention the whole way through...not to mention made probably all the girls fall in love with him. I had a crush :)
Move along a few more weeks and we had our girls weekend down in Missouri with my mom's side of the family. It was a blast hanging out with my aunts, cousins and grandma. We went to the arch, a cute small town in St. Charles and a winery. Hopefully we can make this a yearly thing!
In between all of that we've been keeping busy. I don't think in the last 2 months I've had a weekend where I've had an entire day to just not to anything. We've made a few trips to Adam's grandma's cabin in Wisconsin for some fun (however the weather has yet to cooperate for us), a trip to Onalaska to visit his parents, and many nights trying to get together with friends. I recently just bought a grill of craigslist for $34, oh yea! So hopefully will be having some grill outs soon.
But man it's a busy summer, it's already July! wow, how life flies by. I looked my calendar for the rest of hte summer and I only have 2 weekends right now where something isn't planned. Between trips, weddings and work, it's a busy one! I'm looking forward to this weekend for some 4th of July fun. Fun boating on the lake at White Bear, Twins Game, grill outs, drinks with good friends and just alot of fun!
And the biggest news, I signed up to run 2 5K's! One in July and one in October, yikes! I've started me "couch potato to 5K" workout plan (I found it online), and have had 2 training days. It's gonna be hard, but will feel good to have accomplished when it's done! Wish me luck :)
Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!!
