August Activities

Whew! What a whirlwind this last week has been. I can't believe that I haven't posted in so long - I've missed my little blog. Let me tell you what I've been up to since the month began...

Zach and I attended the out-of-town wedding of our good friends, Doug and Jill. We got to see lots of old friends, and the entire weekend was a blast.

Our nephew, Mason, turned 1! We attended his birthday party, and I don't think I've seen more toddler toys in one room than I did at this celebration. Mason is one spoiled little boy :)

We celebrated our one-year anniversary with an amazing weekend in St. Louis! Zach planned the entire trip, and each element was a surprise. We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, where he proposed to me two years ago, and we visited the Botanical Gardens, the City Museum, and Forest Park along with several delicious meals. Oh, and our wedding cake still tasted great.

More Mason! We attended the little guy's christening this past Sunday, and boy was he a good sport. Thank goodness he has a real affinity for water...he wasn't bothered one bit by the ritual.

I'm pretty sure that my life is going to slow down a bit after the recent flurry of events; at least I hope so. Once I go back to school (next Thursday!) I will settle into a routine, and that includes regular blogging. Though I definitely have mixed emotions about the end of summer, I am looking forward to having a schedule on which I can depend. But for now, it's time to get back to work! I need to take care of business so that I can enjoy the last carefree days of summer come Friday :)
