Well, I have definitely gone my longest without posting. This is so embarrassing!!! Is there anyone out there who has been still checking for an update? I commend you for your persistence. I am going to try much much harder to post on a more regular basis. I miss blogging!!!
Back to the original question... where do I start? My most recent post was about Wael (Erin's husband) visiting the farm.... in January. Well, I posted it in March, but the event happened in January! Ahhhh!!!
What has happened since then? Hmmm.
1. I am still a loyal Sunday morning feeder at our Park District's living history farm. Through frigid winter mornings to steamy summer mornings, I have seen a lot of livestock be born and grow!
2. I was honored to attend and enjoy Stephanie's sister-in-law's bridal shower and bachelorette party. I love being a part of their family!!!
3. I was also honored to attend and enjoy Stephanie's other sister-in-law's baby shower. By the way, he is the cutest baby ever known to man.
4. I started a new job. (Don't worry, there is more to come on this one!)
5. I attended my second alumni Association of Residence Halls Passing of the Gavel where I presented this year's NACURH inductee. Total honor.
6. My brother and cousin graduated college. And another cousin graduated high school! So very proud.
7. I hosted my first major volunteer event at work.
8. I helped Stephanie and Adam prepare their garden and other misc. landscape ventures.
9. My baby cousins turned 8 and 10. (ahhh!!! Time is going too fast! Can I still call them my baby cousins?)
10. I attended the beautiful wedding of Stephanie's husband's brother and sister in law.
11. Co-chaired my fifth (?) Family Fest icecream booth with Stephanie. This is seriously one of my most favorite times of year.... until Sunday morning when I can't drag myself any farther!
12. I went to Egypt with my family for Erin and Wael's wedding. (Haha, don't worry, more on this, too)
13. I helped plan and throw Erin's bridal shower and bachelorette party.
14. I attended Erin and Wael's US wedding.
15. My brother moved out to LA to pursue his film making dream.
16. I've started my first house search!
Whew! A LOT of this occurred this summer. Like... a heck of a lot of it! This was probably one of the busiest summers EVER! Between all of our summer projects and a busy time at work, we left the country for 14 days!! I want to embellish on a few of these points because they are exciting and of course I want to share pictures. Leave a comment if there is anything you'd like to hear more about!!!
Of course, a big thank you to those of you who have been checking my blog for an update. I hope this doesn't blow your mind too much! I'll be back soon to talk about the above list... and more! How do you feel about bringing back Foliage Fridays?
Talk to you soon!!! :)
