You know you're gettin' old when...

your little cousin graduated from college! Yes, that's right, Julie..who to me is still in middle school....graduated from Clemson this May with a degree in Finance. All the girl cousins took her out for a night out on the town to celebrate.




We started out at the bar in the Sunsphere, ate dinner at Chesapeake's (yummy!) and then headed over to the Old City.

Jack's new home

For my birthday, my parents bought me a much needed, and much wanted dog house for Jack. We had wanted the dog-loo for a while, but since Andrew and I both have "family sedans", we had no way to get it home from Lowe's. Mom and dad bought it and picked it up for us in the Pilot!! Thanks...we love you!

Mom actually got in there with Jack at one point to get him to go in....I wish I had a picture of that!!

Everybody get ready for the summertime...and weddings!

My friend Brittany got married at the end of May and it was simply beautiful!! She looked gorgeous and the reception was a blast. Her wedding and reception were in Townsend. Andrew and I had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new ones!!

Erin, Britt, me, April

We made it to Nationals!!

The club I sponsor at CHS is DECA....this year...for the 5th straight...we made it to Nationals!! They were back in Anaheim - which is where it was my first year teaching. I took 6 students and we had a great time! Obviously, I can't put any pics of them on here...but here is a pic from Disney!

Biltmore......simply beautiful!

Back in April, Andrew's parents came over to the east side for a visit.....then we headed up to Biltmore...neither Andrew or I had ever been there...we had a great time!! Here are a few pics from the trip. Thanks Bob and Maureen!!!

Now that it's summer....

I can finally update my blog...I know, I am the worst "blogger" ever..and beginning to think that starting this blog was a bad idea...does anyone read this thing anyways?? Andrew has been bothering me to update too, even though I know he doesn't read it either!!

I'll try to put the last 3 months in a few posts!!

So here goes.......
