Mid-July Already?

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Can someone tell me how the heck is it the middle of July already? So far July has been a busy month (hence the lack of posting), and it really has no plans on slowing down. So I figured that I would do a quick recap of what's been going so I don't lose this month in time to my junky memory.

The 4th of July wasn't a very exciting weekend for us- we mostly did a bunch of house work. However I did take a little bit of time on the 4th to visit with family. I first started at my mom's house...

I got to see my Sammy cat who celebrated his 16th anniversary as part of our family. After getting some kitty love, mom and I headed out to her pool to get some sun and refreshing dip in the water once we got too hot.

After visiting with my mom, Sam and I spent some time with his family which included a lot of baby conversation, dinner at the BBQ place by our house, and our town's fireworks display!



The best part about going to see the fireworks- they are close enough to our house that we could just walk there and back. I love not having to try to fight for parking at those types of events.

As for work life, it's been going good. It's been a little busier than expected for the summer, but I guess that keeps me from getting board. I have however found time to enjoy the nice weather and views that my work can offer on my lunch breaks.



This last weekend my mom and I made a road trip to Michigan. My mom's aunt passed away so we went up early on Friday so we could attend her funeral. It is nice to get to spend time with a lot of my extended family, but it sucks when it's because someone has died.

After the funeral my aunt Sue, my mom, and I went back to my grandpa's farm to visit and do some black raspberry berry picking.



Let me tell you- black raspberries on vanilla ice cream is so tasty!

After visiting with grandpa, we headed to my uncle Richard's house where we spent time with more extended family having pizza, more ice cream, and family game night!



We play a game called "The game of things..." and it's a pretty awesome game. It's a game that allows you to be as PG or R rated (maybe even X rated) as you want to be which make it such a great game.

The Michigan trip was originally plan because of our family reunion was this last weekend, so come Sunday we again got to see a ton of family again for a happier reason. There was good food, fun times had, and even some more berry picking!



 





 

So far July has been a pretty good month, and I'm excited for all the events we have planned for the rest of it!
