I promise I'm not hiding...

...the summer just got away from me. As I'm coming up for air the calendar has turned to September. So in honor of Back to School, here's what I did on my summer vacation:

1 - We got a new roof! Of course the work was done by Jeremy and crew. The photo evidence speaks for itself - the hubs picked out a great looking shingle and did a wonderful job.

2 - We enjoyed a busy summer that kicked off with a trip to ABQ, NM to get in some serious golf and a visit with Jenny and Luke. (It didn't hurt that we also couriered 3 cases of 2 Buck Chuck back from Trader Joes!)

3 - We spent quite a bit of time in the yard with a few projects. (Really this means that Jeremy with help from his brother and my dad had projects.)


4 - I'm done with my basic certification and am now offering private classes at the studio and was pleasantly surprised to become the newest Pilates Reformer instructor for the City of Lakewood.

5 - I love the new job. I'm almost through my 6-month introductory period and I'm still thrilled with my move. Everyday I wake up pleasantly surprised that I'm not dreading going into the office. After 10-years, that is a very weird feeling!

6 - We've golfed quite a bit this summer even though Jeremy didn't join his Men's Club this year. The ironic part about this lack of club time allowed him to play in the Member-Guest and WIN!
7 - We entertained - boy did we entertain. I had a brilliant idea to invite all the fam over for a 4th of July party then I hosted a pretty fab baby shower for my dear friend Katy. The 4th was pretty fun and held on the 3rd so we had quite a few more folks than I planned. As for the shower, I cooked like I was feeding 40 but ended up only having a dozen or so ladies. I think it all turned out beautiful and I'm sure Katy loved it. I would include photos but I was running around like a crazy lady and didn't have a camera handy at either party. C'est la vie!

I continued the summer of staying unplugged but am ready to get back into technology so be looking for more posts;)
