July has been a busy month! It was a good month, but we had a LOT going on. Probably more than we should have bitten off, but whatever, it was a fun month. So, here are some shots from July. Hope you enjoy!
We headed to Hershey Park on July 3. We generally get there once a summer because we get free passes, though they have to be used by July 4th. So, nothing like waiting til the last minute, huh? LOL! We went on a ride that you sit on and just go over part of the park. This is our feet over the river that runs through the park. At the bridges over the river, you can feed the ducks. I like doing that. And it's only a quarter to get the corn. Or you can be cheap like me and pick up what people drop and feed them that. LOL!
Us on the ride. It's such a great ride to take. I like it because you can just sit back and check out the scenery. Plus your feet get to dangle while you ride it, making it seem dangerous! LOL!
The following weekend, we headed to NJ for a wedding. Brian's cousin from Louisiana was getting married and we were invited! We were actually pretty excited about it, as we haven't seen these guys since 2003. The wedding was GORGEOUS! The bride was EXQUISITE! It really was a wonderful day and just a lot of fun.
Had to post this. The bride came up to the table and grabbed the camera. She said she had to take our photo because it's hard to get your picture taken when it's just two people. LOL! She is very sweet!
So, yea. I have a habit of taking a zoomed in photo, then wanting to take a self-portrait. I don't know how many times I've done this with THIS type of photo as a result. Normally, I just delete them, what's the point in keeping them? But, for some reason, I did not delete this one. I think it's kinda funny. So, if you wanted to know what my teeth looked like up close - there ya go!
Another photo from our trip to New York City. This is cheating since the bar tender took it, but whatever. Our friend Maryrose (in red) wanted to go to Burp Castle, so we headed over there after dinner. This is us hanging out at the Belgium bar. It was a lot of fun and the beer was good...if not sweet. Would completely go back!
Yea, you would think this photo is strange, but it's not. Stitch and I had a beer at the Sam Adams Celebrates Atlanta bar in the Atlanta airport. We missed our flight to Vegas by ONE MINUTE, so we grabbed beers here. Stitch was for my friend Kim, whose wedding we were heading to. I love that this is a self-portrait and I got the beer, Stitch AND me in!
Not the most flattering photo of me and my friend is a little blurry, but at this point in the night, we were both feeling a little blurry! LOL! We played some beer pong at O'Shea's in Las Vegas. We did not do so well, lost 2 of 3. :-( Sad. so very sad...
All dressed up! My friend and beautiful bride Kim. This was the whole reason we went to Las Vegas - to spend her special day with her and her new husband. Thank you guys! It was a great time!
It's sorta been a while. About a month, but here are some photos from June. :-)
Brian and I were lucky enough to get tickets to a Hershey Bears play-off game on June 6th against the Manitoba Moose. This was Game 3 of the Calder Cup finals. It was a great game and a great Hershey win! Woohoo!
Here were are at Hershey again, except three days later and a victory shy of the Calder Cup. The Bears had a 3-1 lead going into the game and LOST. :-( They headed back to Manitoba to defeat the Moose, but not in front of the home crowd. We were sad.
My engagement and wedding rings. LOL! We were at a York Revolution game and I was having fun with the camera. I kept wanting a photo of my rings, but they always came out blurry. So, I tried again and it worked! My engagement ring is an opal. :-) Isn't it beautiful?
This is me on Sunday, June 28th in Baltimore, MD. I ran my first 5k at the Baltimore Women's Classic 5k that morning. My goal was to run the whole thing, no matter what the time. And I did! I ran the entire race, finished in 45:25 (which was 5 minutes faster than I thought I would), and didn't come in last. Yea me! It was a good day.
Brian and I at the Hershey Bears. They won. They are currently in the Calder Cup finals. Go Bears!
Brian and I at the O's game Thursday night. Look, this is a recent photo! LOL! Our friend's dad had tickets he couldn't use, so we all headed down to a night of Orioles Magic. The O's won and a good time was had by all.
Some shots from April. Love the weather starting to get warmer. :-)
Opening day baseball! LOVE IT! We had opening day tix for the Phils and I had to get set. I painted my nails Phils red and painted on a white Phillies P on each thumb. :-) It's blurry in this photo, but it looked cool. Take my word for it. ;-)
Brian and I at the Phils. It was COLD! But we had a good time, even if the Phils couldn't win.
Off the next day to Baltimore to catch the O's play the Yankees. It RAINED. It was rainy all morning on the way down and at lunch. Then the sun came out and it was gorgeous. Then it went away and seriously poured again. 30 minutes after start time, the skies cleared and we played ball! And a great game it was! O's beat the Yankees in a fantastic game. At least we went .500 in our two games.
After our 10 year college reunion, we stopped at Sheetz (PA convenience store). Brian decided to take photos IN the store. LOL! This is me telling Brian all about the fancy coffee optinos they now have.
The next day, Brian and our friend Maryrose and I headed to Camden Yards to catch an O's game. The weather was incredible! It was HOT. We grabbed water outside the park because it was cheaper. LOL! But, when we got into the park, they were giving away free ice. Really! I was shocked. Never heard of that before. But it went a long way on such a hot day. *nod* Here's my second cup.
More of my great nail painting skills. Actually, I took this photo because the pop corn was just so good! It was kettle corn. Yum! The bonus was I still had my Phillies P. ;-)
I tried posting new photos, but it wouldn't upload. I'm not sure what the problem was. But I'm going to post some from the last few months. :)
Brian and I at a Beach Themes Party at Bube's Brewery. Love that place! If you're local and haven't been - GO! It's in Mt. Joy, PA. Awesome, awesome place! There is not a restaurant in the place I don't recommend, but I do love the Catecombs.
Our anniversary! Well, sorta. :-) We celebrate our first date anniversary, so off we went to TJ Rockwell's in Elizabethtown, PA. Our first date was in this building, but it was known as Mookie's then. TJ's is a good place too. :-)
I really need to update this blog more often when I take the photos. LOL!
It's a tad blurry, sorry. I have a hard time taking photos with my left hand. This was my tribute to Fat Tuesday. This bracelet is from New Orleans. Got it as a gift when I was there last year. It's kinda sad. A whole year since I've seen many of my friends. Love ya ladies!
My other nod to New Orleans, my fluer de lis necklace. This also came from New Orleans. I love this necklace. I found it in the cutest little shop. They had lots of adorable jewelry and writing materials. I also bought a fluer de lis in silver, so I can wear one no matter what color I wear. :-)
Well, it's been awhile, but I have been taking photos. Sorta. There isn't much going on, so there aren't too many photos, but here are some:
March 22, 2009 - I'm not the world's fastest runner by any means, so 13:14 isn't that great for a 1 mile run, but it is the fastest time I've ever had! I did this yesterday. It made me happy to beat my personal record. I go each Sat. to the park. Next week I'm hoping to go back to 2 miles.
March 22, 2009 - Lizzie and I were sleepy last night. LOL! I was a tad surprised that she stayed like this actually. She will spend HOURS sitting on my lap, but not so much cuddling like this. So, when she stayed, I grabbed the camera and had to take a picture. Isn't she cute?
March 23, 2009 - It's back! Classes that is. And the homework. Ugh. I'm almost done for this semester, will be done at the end of April. Which is kinda freaking me out. Today I worked on Literary Review. That's oh so fun. In just two weeks my Introduction to my thesis is due. Can you see why I'm freaking out???
