Spent the entire day at this beach in Huron swimming with my
Aunt Marlene, cousin Tyson and nephew Max. The day ended
with a nice dinner with family, including my Grandma and her
yummy cake! Really wanted to stay at the lake one more day
but couldn't have asked for a better end to the month of July!

Spent the day at the beach in Huron and the evening playing
games with this fun group of people! It was a great day!

Spent the evening with some friends at the Indians game,
including this newly (today) engaged couple, Whitney and Eric!

The rain canceled our grilling plans so we decided to use our
anniversary gift card from the MacAskills and treat ourselves
to some Cheesecake Factory at Crocker Park. Yum!

Completely and totally hooked on the show, Sons of Anarchy. At first I was
very resistant to watching it with Pat but now I'm addicted!

Yummy, yummy dinner (if I do say so myself). Homemade strawberry vinaigrette and all!

I took the day off work and finally used my gift certificate
that Pat got me for Christmas and got my massage.
It really was like Christmas in July today!

I had the very best birthday ever and am the luckiest girl in
the world! Pat planned an entire surprise day for me. Brunch
at the 100th Bomb Group, shopping at the Strongsville mall,
wine tasting at Wolf Creek Winery in Norton, Ohio and then
a cookout at my inlaw's house. It was such a perfect way to
welcome the (old) age of 28!

Spent the day with this group (and Pat) up at the lake. We
went out on the boat, floated in the big raft, got back to the
dock just before a big storm and then had a yummy dinner.
It was such a fun day! Thanks MacAskills!

Pat and I went to see the movie Friends with Benefits tonight.
We went to the theater to see Horrible Bosses but since it was
sold out, this was our (my) second choice. It was such a cute movie!
It had much more comedy than most romantic comedies. It made us
both laugh out loud! I definitely recommend this movie!

Holy humidity! We were under a heat advisory today.
The heat index was near 112 degrees! Yikes!

I had my highest score in Words with Friends tonight!
A whopping 114 points!!! Big night for me!

We walked to the custard shop up the street. Grady and I
both believe if you walk to and from the ice cream place,
the calories don't count. :)

This is the radar from 2:30 in the morning when I woke up
to strobe-like lightning and loud thunder. Grady and I also got
caught in a storm when we tried to go running. Grady was
terrified and pulled me all the way home.  We needed the rain, though.

I took the Gradster to the lake to swim. He had a blast. He swam
retrieved sticks for an hour and a half! And his friend
Kane Detwiler met him there. I also learned that I will NEVER
go to the dog beach again without water shoes. So many painful rocks!

We drove to Salem to attend the Stitle's First Annual Pig Roast.
It was our first time seeing Eric & Jana's house, it was our first time
seeing them since their wedding exactly one year ago AND it was our
first time seeing them in person to tell them CONGRATS because
they are expecting a baby in December!

Fun dinner at Tommy's in North Ridgeville. It was everyone's
first time there and we all thought the food was great! We will be back...

First run with the new shoes. The shoes were great. It was
the first time I've been able to run an entire mile without stopping
(hey, I'm a beginner). The shins were not so great, though.
Doing a little icing and hoping for the best!

We went to Amherst to watch cousin Robby pitch a
baseball victory in one of his last games! Went out to eat
after the game at Quaker Steak and Lube for dinner and fun!

Proud new owner of some Mizuno running shoes from
Achilles Heel specialty shoe store in Mentor.
Here's hoping they alleviate some of my shin splints pain.

Pat and I have started to DVR this show. We watched it
today and it made us laugh so hard we cried! Highly recommend.

My pretty roses bloomed. This is it. Only two blooms
after an entire year of pruning this little beast. Can you say
high maintenance?

What a fun night at the Rock Hall listening to the
Fitz and the Tantrums as a part of the FREE
Summer in the City Concert Series. I love summer!
If you haven't heard the Fitz, listen to one of my favorite songs here.

Fun walk and picnic at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
It was our first time there and we really enjoyed it!
