Catching up!

I have been so busy these past couple of weeks and blogging has not been a top priority.

What I been up to, you ask?

The craziness started when Allison had baby Lincoln. We lost the picture temporarily but they are back!!! What a handsome guy!Why do we pose with other peoples' children? Really?
A picture with the beautiful mama.
And I just love me some baby toes ;)The next day, we went downtown for the Homerun Derby. We didn't have tickets but we had a great time partying anyways! First we met in Tess and Kevin's loft...And baby Truman!Then off to Mike Shannon's downtown. SO. MUCH. FUN!Look at all of the people. And this was before the Derby even started!The pictures go majorly downhill from there as the night went on so we are going to stop there.

After a day of packing, it was time to head to Destin, Florida for Tess' bachelorette party. I was lucky enough to be able to be in Florida from Wednesday night to Monday morning. We were able to stay in Tess' future in-laws' condos and they were fabulous. I stayed in the one right off the beach.The weekend was full of drinking, eating, and laughing with good friends.The whole group!On the night of the actual bachelorette party, we played Bar Golf? Have you ever played this game? Oh my gosh...it was so much fun and definitely ended in a drunken mess.

Here are some of us in our golfing attire...We were split into teams of 5 people...we knew immediately our time would win. Here we are!Here is a short explanation of the game. You go to 9 bars and each bar has a Par 2. That means your team needs to split 2 beers. After the 2 beers, you get 1 point for each addition beer and 2 points for each specialty drink your team takes. The first bars specialty drink was lemon drop, the next specialty drink was a Jagger bomb. Specialty drinks down line were tequila shots, daiquiris, bartender's choice... It was a blast! Starting to get a little more sloppy at the end of the night. Notice the grafitti-ed shirts.So much fun! Loved it!

For the past week that I have been home, I have been dedicating most of my time to finishing my work for my masters classes. I counted up yesterday and I have written 16 papers in the past 2 months. Seriously! 16! I am happy to say that I submitted the last of my papers to my teacher this morning and I am DONE! I am celebrating by going to the Cardinals game tonight with work friends! WOO HOO!

Of course, I have been working on the other blog and trying to get it exactly where we want it to be.

I also can't believe that I will be back to school in 2 weeks from today! Did this summer fly by or what?! I guess that is what I get for taking 2 very challenging classes and raising a beautiful little puppy. By the way...Mia is the best!
