It's been quite a while since my last update...and I really have no good excuse other than I've been thoroughly enjoying my first summer off! :) I've been doing a lot around the house and going to the gym as much as I can. Andy and I have also had some very busy weekends and a couple weddings. It's been great to have so much time to do whatever I want! Here's a quick highlight of our summer so far:
June:
*Andy's sister Elizabeth had a beautiful weekend for her and Matt's wedding! We were up in Ishpeming and Marquette visiting with family and celebrating their big day!
*Andy and I also went to see Jack Johnson at Alpine Valley with our friends Kurt and Cindi. We had a blast, like always with them and are heading back to AV in August with a group of friends for a Dave Matthews concert.
July:
*Our friends Jeff and Amanda tied the knot! We were also home over the 4th visiting family and friends!
*I met up with my college girlfriends Jackie and Lynn in Wisconsin Dells for the Waupaca volleyball tournament. It was great to see them and catch up! We didn't do as well as we hoped but have a better idea of what the tourney is all about for next year. During our last game I turned funny on my right knee and heard a little pop. I was nervous it was one of my major ligaments, but have still been walking and working out. (Don't worry I'm staying away from any contact sports or a lot of quick or sharp movements). I have an MRI on the 31st of July to determine what is going on. I am hoping if anything it will be my meniscus...I really don't think surgery 5 months prior to our wedding would ease any stress I already have. PLUS, I'm a month away from the start of the school year! Hopefully it'll be something that will heal up fast! Andy was in the Dells also this weekend for his friend Eric's bachelor party!
*Andy and I drove up to Appleton to my sister Stacey and brother-in-law Colin's house for a bean bag tournament/party! It was a blast to see everyone and have some more time with Ellie!
*Sara, Javi and Javi's friend Antonio came to Madison for the weekend to visit and do some sightseeing around the area. We spent a day up in Wisconsin Dells at Noah's Ark water park.
*Finally, we had our first weekend home in a LONG time! It was so nice to not travel! We spent this past weekend cleaning and doing some landscaping. Andy also hung up some of our pictures and a few other things around the house. It's slowly coming together!
I hope you all have received our Save the Date magnets in the mail! I was very excited to get those sent out! It's hard to believe that our wedding is only 5 months away! The summer has been flying by, and I know once school starts up again that December will be here before we know it! I'll try reallllly hard to be a more efficient blogger from now on! :)
