The 2 month wrap up

It's been exactly 2 months since I last posted anything.  I suppose it's time for an update.  I will warn you there isn't too much to update you on though, and at this point it's more out of guilt that I've abandoned the blog for so long that I'm even writing a post.  Side note..Rob just walked in and asked what I was working on, I shake my head because there really is nothing I could possibly be working on, he asks if it's the blog, I say yes, and he says, "I knew it, that's the only time you use your computer."  Valid...that is partially because I store my pretty old laptop in the built-in cabinet in the family room and I usually forget about it.

Over the past couple months we have had a lot of fun weekends with visitors.  There was Rob's dad and Kimberly over Memorial Day weekend in which a birthday was celebrated with margaritas...




Rob's bff Hayes came for a long weekend in June, and we enjoyed an awesome Gwinnett Braves game where they came from behind and went into extra innings for the win...



My mom, dad and Michelle came to visit over Father's Day weekend.  We went out for tapas, did some shopping, and went to a great, almost perfect, Braves game...





Oh yeah...Roxanne had a couple of dog visitors too...here she is with little Mill...



Other than that, Rob has been busy with his Saturday class he has for the summer semester.  He should be done in a couple of weeks though, and then just 1 more semester until he graduates- YAY!!  As excited as I am for him, I know he is 100x more excited.  I really don't know how he has managed working full time and taking up to 3 classes per semester, but I know all his hard work is going to pay off. 

My new job at Dr Lee Chiropractic is going very well and I'm really happy with it.  I've been there for just over 3 months, which means I am out of the probation period now and got a raise.  My bosses took me out to a very nice dinner the other night to celebrate the 3 month mark and I really couldn't ask for better people to work for!  Along with regular office hours we have been working at a lot of races and local events which are fun, and it's always good to get out and spread our name in the community.



Our family room is finally almost done, which means our front office/den/sports room is almost done as well.  We bought a new coffee table and side table, colorful couch pillows, and filled the walls next to the TV with framed line print aerial maps of Boston and circa 1900 antique tin ceiling tiles I've been admiring for years. We also finally get to use our beautiful handmade tray from Mrs. Copp (Hayes's mom) that she gave us for our wedding.  Because we got new tables we were able to move one of our old side tables into the front room for our new 2nd TV to go on.  I have been lobbying for a 2nd TV for a while now...like ever since we got married...and we finally have one hooked up and ready to go!  I'm sure it will come in handy the next Sunday morning Rob is watching a long formula 1 race/Meet The Press.




I'm really looking forward to our big family vacation in Myrtle Beach round 2 coming up next month!  I miss the beach, can't wait to truly relax and have fun with my relatives, am looking forward to meeting Lisa's bf Scott for the first time, and am hoping by then this crazy non-stop chance of rain forecast will have passed and we will have some hot sunny weather.
