➵ Completed another morning summer hike on Pine Mtn. This time we went 4.3 miles!
➵ Celebrated with our friends' at their baby shower / anniversary party!
➵ Started seriously planning an anniversary trip to Arizona! We have both never been & can't wait to see God's beautiful creation out west! We're planning for early this fall.
➵ Swam a lot at our apt. pools. {And, side note, my little girl dream of being a mermaid lives on.}
➵ Celebrated national ice cream day by wearing a blouse with little ice cream cones/treats all over it & enjoying free gelato {&, of course, pizza} at Your Pie.
➵ Got a washing machine! Yay! No more quarters + apt. laundry mat for us! We have a working dryer {thankfully}, but we've never had a working washer since we said, "I do," until now.
➵ Had my 8 year old nephew come & stay with us for a long weekend! It was his longest stay away from his parents + Dan & I got to play parents. We all had a blast {& it wore me out}! We got snow cones, visited the Splash Pad downtown, the Columbus Museum, the National Infantry Museum, Oxbow Meadows, went to church, the new Lego store, swam, played the Wii, found lots of painted rocks + painted & hid some of our own, had a Nim's Island movie night-in, & made chocolate "dirt" pudding with gummy snails & worms!
➵ The very last day of July was the last day of my summer vacation as I'm back to subbing long term again {praising God for a month long position to start off the school year}. We spent it exploring + taking pictures downtown & kissing on the rocks next to the roaring Columbus rapids of the Chattahoochee {with the Spanish moss in the trees overhead}. {What? 😍 We're married!} We ended with free fudge samples {Who knew there was such a thing as mint chocolate chip fudge?! Yum!} & a scoop of Kilwins' ice cream. Cake batter flavor for me, please.
