CATCHING UP...

Mauri says my blog sux. Okay, so yeah, I'm slacking. I started this blog and then neglected it. I will try to do better. Haven't quite gotten used to all this yet...I mean, it took me forever to agree to do this, and some friends are still on my tail about myspace. Please gals, I am taking baby steps. Give a sister a break!!! A lot has happened since I first created my blog. Aden, Anna Reese's buddy who was born the day after her had his first birthday party. I was successful in eating more than anyone there! Hot dogs, a hamburger and tons of cake. No, I'm not pregnant. Darren and I went to the March of Dimes Benefit at Pan Asia, for its grand opening and had so much fun. It was the first time we had been "out" together in a long time. It is a stunning restaurant and the food is awesome. It is our new fav place!!!!
AR celebrated her first Fourth of July. We went to Lexington to the farm and had Popa Dees' scrumptous steaks and shot fireworks. AR enjoyed every minute. As she was cheering for fireworks, she socked mama in the eye. It was so bad, I stayed in bed the whole next day and my vision was blurry for 3 days. Ugh!!!! I've never been incapacitated due to an eye injury. Bad times!!!
The past couple of weekends, we've gone out on the lake. Our friends, Josh and Jennifer got a new pontoon boat. We went to the Pelican Cove on Sunday and listened to a great band...while sitting in the boat. It was very fun, but extremely hot. Yes, the MS Summer heat has finally arrived. We are leaving for vacation Thursday....beach bound baby! Can't wait to share pics of AR's second beach trip. She may remember this one :)
