June.

Whoops. Talk about a summer vacation. Turns out my blogging took a break for the summer, but now that school is officially back in session, I thought I should maybe get back to blogging more regularly. A LOT has happened this summer, and I can’t wait to catch up on all the fun. The next few posts will be a recap of June, July and August. Let’s start with June:

1. We brought Lucy home in mid-May, and the next six weeks were a blur of training and playing and reprimanding and cuddling. That first month was hard and frustrating, but Lucy is such a sweet, sweet dog. She’s now almost SIX months old, and a playful and wonderful addition to our family.
2. In early June, we hosted a bridal shower for my cousin who’s getting married in just two weeks. It was a quick trip to Philadelphia, but we had so much fun putting together the final touches for a shower (which included watching several questionable YouTube videos about floral arrangement). Celebrating my cousin with all of her family and friends was so special, and it made me so excited for all of the other wedding festivities this summer.
3. We celebrated a baby shower for a dear co-worker, and went out for Father’s Day brunch. I also got a root canal, which was less fun than the last two events, but somehow took up a really monumental amount of time.
4.  I went to Texas for a work trip, which was a quick whirlwind meeting and the LONGEST return to Pittsburgh ever. My flight was delayed a million hours and when we finally landed in the middle of a lightening storm in Pittsburgh, the luggage couldn’t be deboarded due to the storm. I ended up laying on the floor of the baggage claim until 5 a.m….luckily I had just bought a new book.
5. On the last day of the month, we found out some really fantastic news about my cousin and his new wife…they’re having a baby!! Couldn’t be more excited for the little love bug on his way to us this December.

More to come, and I’m so excited to be back to blogging. Lots of news to catch up on.

To looking back to June,
