Quiet mornings mean time to finally Blog!

Well, well, well - shame on me for not blogging in over a week. I told myself that if I started a blog, I would be extremely diligent about it and I have already slacked off. I will not do it again! What a busy time its been around here. My last day at Triangle Spine was yesterday. I am nervous but extremely excited about my new venture at Zip Realty. The training for that starts on Monday morning at 9am. I've got my fingers crossed that this is the direction that I need to take in life at this time. I am sure it will all work out perfectly. I am going to be lucky enough to be able to work from home so I am super pumped about spending more time with Grace. I will be able to volunteer at her preschool more in the fall, and that is great!

We had a great Fathers Day last Sunday, well all weekend really! On Saturday, we hung out at the pool until the sun was shaded by our too tall pine trees. Once that happened, we scooted to the driveway for a famous driveway party! I set up the hose so that it was shooting straight up in the air like a sprinkler and got out the dish soap. Grace absolutely loved it and I can't wait to do it again. It really was a lot of fun!



On Sunday, we went to a great dinner at 18 Seaboard with some wonderful Alderson's. We had so a nice time sitting on the rooftop, overlooking downtown. There was a beautiful sunset, the food was delicious and the company even better! If you need a nice place to go out to eat, I recommend this restaurant! I managed to get a few group pictures after a long of begging and pleading with the guys and it was worth it because I love the pictures!





What a fun evening it was! Thanks to Margie for organizing this Father's Day dinner!

All of this Alderson talk reminds me that I forgot to write about a couple of weeks ago, we went to Todd and Jeannie's house for a cookout. We got to meet the youngest Alderson's and they are so cute!!! We had a great time and it was so nice to see a lot of relatives we haven't seen in way too long!






Yesterday, Jackson Monsees turned 1! We went to his birthday party and had a great time. Grace didn't want to leave. She was having such a good time with her friends. The grill was going and the burgers were big and tasty! Kim and Lee did such a great job with the party and I think everyone had a blast. Thanks to Kim and Lee for letting us share in Jax's special 1st birthday!





This is going to be a FUN weekend - Aunt Heidi is coming for a visit and Grace and I are very excited. She will be here this afternoon and is staying with us all weekend. I am so ready for what I call HeidiTime! Yesterday, Grace had her fake phone and was pretending to talk on it. I asked her who she was calling and she said - "I am calling Aunt Heidi and telling her to hurry up and get here!" It was precious. My child is just one amazing kid. We are also going to a "Lawn and Garden Shower" for Rachel and Ramsey on Saturday night. Lots of good times to be had! I'm going to relax and have a good weekend and get ready for my new career that start on Monday!
