An Awesome Summer

Jamie, Jubilee, and myself seriously had a great summer! We not only were able to spend a month with Guy but we were also able to spend ten days with Ricky and Cassy! (Jamie's brother and sister-n-law)

They started their visit by taking us to six flags for both of our birthdays! OH MY WORD! It was soooo fun. I can't even go into detail. I think Cassy had it right when she said "I felt like I was a little kid again". We stayed for almost ten hours! My favorite ride was Superman although it left me speechless : ) The water park was a lot of fun too and not nearly as busy since it was raining and a little chilly out. Yes. We are crazy : )

We actually packed alot in while they were here. From outlet shopping to visiting with some of Jamie and my friends to Trader Joes and a million trips to Dunkin Donuts! Not to mention we ate at some of our favorite places and grilled out a couple of times. We even made it downtown but it was a little bit of a hectic experience as we walked 6 miles in 94 degree humid weather AND lollapalooza was going on downtown!

They were even here for my birthday! Cassy and I went shopping with Jubilee at Khols and then all of us went out to Hackney's after Jamie came home from work. (We decided that is OUR restaurant. We eat there whenever they come.)Nathan and Abby were supposed to come by and they ended up surprising me with Christine, Deb, and Kami on my porch singing happy birthday with an AWESOME cake that Abby made for me! AND they even got me a gift...SETTLERS! : )

We had such a fun time and really good conversations. Now that they have been gone nearly a week and my brother nearly three Im starting to feel homesick. I really enjoyed having the people I love that close to me. (less than 900 square feet is pretty close!) I wish I could just merge all the towns where all my loved ones are. *sigh* oh well...as they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
