Here we are already in mid-August! Summer has been fun - if you call 30+ days of 100+ degree days fun...which I guess you might, for at least a few hours a day.
May and June were pretty busy. Had a trip home (yay!), a trip to Portland and a "staycation" in San Antonio. We spent most of July at home in Austin which was really nice. We did take a quick trip to Houston July 4th weekend to visit the nephew...he is getting more adorable by the day!
I read the Hunger Games trilogy, maybe I'll post a review later. I enjoyed it quite a bit! I'm a little concerned that lately the books I love the most are meant for "young adult" readers. Does that make me immature? If any other person reads this blog, besides Katy - and you have good book suggestions, let me know! Katy - of course I appreciate your book suggestions, but my guess is you're a little busy with your newborn. Oh yeah! So late July (July 28, to be exact)our baby shower girl, Katy had her little Miles James! He's an angel and I'm so excited to be his auntie! (I made myself his auntie, he has real ones, but whatev)
At the end of July, we took on a good old fashioned home construction project. BTW, it's not as fun to do home projects as you may think it looks on HGTV. It's not free, you're not on tv and no one looks like the hot guys on those shows (no offense, B). My dad came up to help us. Between figuring out if we had ordered the right door (out-swing door), then deciding we hoped it was wrong and was in fact an in-swing door, then back to wanting what we originally wanted; all the while my mom was "researching" online to further prove us wrong (or right) - we finally installed our out-swinging, french doors. Out-swing is not the norm, but we like it for our house. And if we ever get rain, we'll find out if the door was installed correctly.
Still need to paint the door...we'll see when we get to that. Currently, it's taped, ready to paint - so that's one step.
