Updates

I am a terrible blogger, I know. Things just got a little crazy and I lacked motivation to update. So here goes my updates.

Weddings. B and I had our reception July 8th and it went beautifully. I got to wear the most amazing dress, we did outside photos in the most beautiful garden(which will be posted later once I get them back from our photographer) and the reception was at an events center. Everything really did go perfectly, the day was wonderful. Really the only letdown was the fact that out of the 20 or so friends I invited only 3 showed up. After many more had rsvp'd and said how excited they were to come. I was really really disappointed. I have no idea why most of them didn't show. I guess it takes things like this to find out who your real friends are. Like my SIL told me, everybody that matters was there. And she was right, I had a fantastic time with my family, it was so wonderful to have them all there and we had a blast dancing and drinking. My brother's wedding is next weekend, and my parents are flying in Wednesday. I am so excited for them to come out here. They haven't seen our place since before we even moved in and they've never seen my brother and SIL's place. We have lots of fun stuff planned for the week they are here.


My birthday. Yet another year has passed and now I'm 23, which is so weird to me. I'm not used to it yet. B got off work early that day and we just hung out, he brought me beautiful flowers. Then we went out to eat at this nice mexican place and then to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which was the highlight of my night. I thought they did a fantastic job with the movie, and really they couldn't have ended it in a better way. Also the theater we saw it at was probably the most amazing theater I've ever been to. It's in the Lakewood Towne Center and all the seats are reclinable lazy boy type chairs. It is amazing to recline and enjoy a movie, I even brought a blanket with me.

The big D. Yup Deployment. We've got another one on the way. We've been hearing rumors for awhile so it's not a surprise, I'm kind of happy they've finally announced it because now at least we can make more definite plans. SIL and I are getting a place together during the deployment, which we're both pretty excited for. We've gotten so much closer lately which is great, I honestly love hanging out with her and my brother. It'll be so nice to have somebody there for support during the deployment.

That basically covers the big stuff. We've just been enjoying our lovely Washington summer, which is pretty mild compared to the rest of the United States who has been hit with an awful heat wave. I'm definitely happy we aren't a part of that. In fact, I think I've only had my AC on about 3 times this whole summer. We're about to go take advantage of this great weather and grill out some steaks. Happy Sunday everybody!
