Well, I guess I've been avoiding the blog quite a bit! I think it has to do with the fact that Sarah's not here yet. We were originally hoping she would be home late this summer, and that didn't come close to happening. So, maybe it's a mental block or something for me.
We've kept ourselves really busy this summer though. We spent a lot of time at the lake. For the 4th of July, we were at Steve's parents house and had an awesome time.
We spent a week at Pawley's Island with my aunt Mary. We got to see Charleston and loved it! Philip, Holley, Lauren and my friend Stephanie went with us. Hopefully next year we'll get to take Sarah for her first beach trip.
In August, we visited Steve's family in KY. I attended our Reveal Shower for our Secret Pals from my KnoxChinaMama group. (Second pic) I found out that my secret pal/s were Jeff and Shelley Brockleman. I got an adorable ladybug backpack filled with all sorts of goodies and a sweet ladybug burpcloth. Also we all went to P.F. Changs with our husbands. I went on a trip to Shelbyville, KY to my cousin Lindsey's wedding. It was great to see my family, and especially my grandfather.
For Labor Day, we visited our friends Cheryl, Alan and their kids. We had a nice day fulled with swimming, eating and fireworks. Philip, Holley and Lauren were there too.
Sept 8-11th, Steve, his dad, and I went on a road trip to NYC and NJ. I got to meet Steve's cousins. They are amazing! We stayed 2 nights in Sleepy Hollow, NY and 2 nights with his aunt and uncle in Tenafly, NJ. I have always wanted to see NYC and it was wonderful! Not enough time though! One of my favorites was St. Patrick's Cathedral. This is a pic of Steve lighting a candle for Sarah at St. Patricks. I really enjoyed garage sales in NJ!
Well, you can tell we've been filling our time with activites and it helps to pass the time while there is just 2 of us. We can't wait to share our time with Sarah, but know that each moment we have together now is precious!
Thanks to everyone for their continued support and prayers!
