This Summer has been flying by and before we even realized we looked at the calendar and couldn't believe it is already the end of July! I don't know where the time is going, but we wanted to give a little update on what we have been doing to stay busy and have fun, and take our minds off of the suffocating humidity that we love so much!
First up, I have finally dedicated myself to starting a scrapbook. I have made this commitment before and it has lasted all of a couple days before I was bored and decided it wasn't for me, but when I see my mom and sister's amazing scrapbooks I get so jealous I finally committed for good this time! So far so good, I have done three pages, usually I do one every Sunday afternoon, and I must say I'm pretty proud of how it is coming together. I figure by posting about it that will add some accountability because now people know about my commitment. So when you see me make sure to ask me how my scrapbook is coming so I feel the pressure not to quit!

Another fun thing I have done this summer was spend a day at Churchill Downs on Millionaires Row! It was a work outing so sadly Kyle wasn't there. It was an absolutely beautiful day! Millionaires Row is six floors up so we stood on a balcony to watch the races which is a MUCH better view than on the ground because you can see the entire track and see the whole race! I think I ended up down $4 on the day, but I managed to snap a few good pics.

Kyle of course has been keeping busy with lacrosse, which he keeps busy with all the time but in the summer he actually laces up those cleats and gets out there and plays. Of course he had to sign up for two leagues, because one just isn't enough, so he has been out on the field quite a bit and I have enjoyed watching him.
Finally, we had a GREAT 4th of July weekend despite me actually having to work on the 4th. We went to the Red River Gorge in Slade, Kentucky with some of our great friends. We stayed in an awesome cabin and spent the weekend hiking, playing Mario Kart, hot tubbing, roasting smores, observing all types of wildlife that I hope to never see again, and killing bug, after bug, after bug, after bug.....

| Beautiful view from the top of the lift, we hiked back down. This mountain severely humbled many of us when two hours later we still had not reached the bottom. |
Stay tuned because August will bring a Keith Urban concert during our first trip to Nashville as well as a week on the beach in Marco Island, Florida!
