What a Summer!!!

This summer is going by super fast! I can't believe next month I go back to school! 

For the first part of July, Alex and I finally had our long awaited honeymoon!!! We went to Litchfield Beach, South Carolina.  Oh. My. Gosh. I miss it!!!!!! We both had so much fun enjoying the beach, lazy river, sunsets, collecting shells, trying out the food, having sweet tea, and getting used to the temps!! {imagine 80's-90's with heat index over 100!}  Thanks Mom & Tash for watching our four legged kids!! 

This pic was the first day we were there... I was so adamant about going to the beach that first day, even though we got there at like 6:30 p.m.! I needed that beach! 

Alex putting his stuff away so we could go swim in the ocean!! Amazing temperatures for the water, even though it was the beginning of summer! Normally, I've gone at the end of August when I was growing up and the water was warm.

My first glass of Sweet Tea! This place had a pond filled with baby alligators and turtles! It was fun seeing the kids run on the boardwalk they had, trying to count how many there were! I spotted at least 22.... :)

Relaxing in the water!! Nothing has ever relaxed me more than being in the ocean.  Ever.  I'm glad that Alex was able to enjoy it as well!

Super pretty sunsets & walks on the beach collecting shells! 

And then we came home. {Can I just go live there forever?!?}

But when we got home, our peonies were in full bloom! I had so many things filled with the flowers, that nearly the entire house was pink! 

And then there's this little cutie.... Got his kiddie pool out to cool off, and decided to dry off in the plants!

So a little more recently, on the 4th of July to be exact, Alex bought this fire pit! We LOVE it! Alex's family and my mom sat out there nearly all day and enjoyed the fire! Alex and his dad though.... power tools.... and they even went and bought a chainsaw.... :)

Family reunion time!!! We had a blast going to the reunion this year.  Unfortunately, this was the first reunion that I can think of where my grandparents weren't there! {sadface.}  The house felt so empty, and not having a full kitchen seemed so different.  Anxiously awaiting October, when they come in for our cousin's wedding! 

Aaaaaaaand what would life be without some silliness by my puppy?? Love him :)

I can't believe that school starts in almost 4 weeks... where did the summer go?!?!?!?!? This is going by waaay too fast. Maybe it's because I'm working in Admissions and with the SAA? I don't know. 

OH. MY. I ALMOST FORGOT!

Alex starts Paramedic school on the 4th! So proud of him! He is a phenomenal pre-hospital care provider already, and will soon be able to perform the highest level of pre-hospital care soon! It will be a long year, but so worth it in the end.  He's so smart, that when we watch House on Netflix, he has it all figured out before it's even said. He's that smart! Honestly, he'd make an amazing doctor! That's his passion!

Speaking of Netflix, when are they going to put season 3 of Once Upon a Time on there?? Waiting almost a year! Gah. Any suggestions for other shows??

See ya soon!
