Sweet Sweet Summertime . . .

Wow!  Where has this summer gone?  It's hard for me to believe that August 1st is right around the corner.  And really, I shouldn't be so surprised.  I've packed a lot into the past few months with truly wonderful people.  So cue the picture montage that will help you relive the past two months of my terribly exciting life!

I kicked off summer by taking Coley to his first (and most likely last) Indy 500.  Let's just say the people watching paid for the ticket.

Then I took a long overdue trip to the Outerbanks with Coley's family.  I LOVE the Outerbanks and it was even better than I remembered (which I think had to do with the company!).  The only disappointing part of the vacation was coming home.

But luckily, my family was in town to welcome us back to Nashville for the 4th of July weekend so the shock of the real world didn't slap us in the face quite as hard.  And of course, the U2 "experience" also helped ease our pain!


  
July also included a trip to Louisville for one of my bestie's weddings.  Christina made an absolutely gorgeous bride and I was glad to be able to celebrate with her as she became Mrs. Brown.

In recent weeks, I've had friends' birthdays to celebrate, LOTS of running, and some wonderful lazy, beer-filled days by the pool (I mean I have to balance out the running right?).  I'm happy to say that, save one night in Lexington,  I will be staying put in good ole' Nashvegas in August.  And honestly, I think that's going to be a must, seeing as I have 17, 19, and 22 mile runs in my near future.  Ahh . . .the joys of training for a marathon.  But I really have no one to blame but myself for that, now do I? :)

There is nothing quite like sweet sweet summertime, and this summer has definitely been one of the sweetest to date.  I'm looking forward to all that August brings, which will no doubt include some great memories with even greater people.
