hi!

Hi guys! just a quick update to let you know that I found my cameras battery charger!! yay!! I'm so thankful that I found it.

Now, mind you after I looked high and low and never found it I remembered that I had a small printer that prints 4x6's and that Andy got me a nice little carrying case for it-now if I were thinking I would have put two and two together knowing that I use the printer with my camera and I need the charger for my camera-I'm sure by this point even you figured it out!!

Yep-the charger was in the carrying case!! It is now plugged in, in the office at the house, and I will not unplug it!!

Hmmm, I guess that's all. Pictures will come soon!! Have a great day!

p.s. Andy has active duty Coast Guard drills all week

welcome to august!

Well, I'd like to start this post by wishing Andy's brother-Chris-a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He's so lucky that he gets to share his day with the Coast Guard! Happy Coast Guard day, too!! Today the time has flown by-I don't know why but all day, even now, it has seemed to be earlier then it is.

We had a good, but busy weekend. Our kitchen is coming along, we've done the "touch up" painting and have picked out light switch/plate covers. We even had our friend Alex install under the cabinet lights! I LOVE them-thanks Alex!!

Saturday Andy played golf with some guys from church-they played in a benefit for Halifax Urban Ministries which is a local food pantry that helps those in need. They offer food services and also help in other ways with rent and utilities bills. Their team ended the day 4 under par. We (some people from church) thought that we were going to be helping out at a workday-however, that didn't work out-we were given the wrong date. I was still watching my friends dog though so I was able to go take care of him, and do some other errands. Saturday night our really good friends, Alex and Somer and their kids-Austin, Adem, and Bayleigh-came over for dinner! They brought Wii and we had a good time!!

Sunday was Sunday and service was great.

I can't believe that it's already August!! There's so much to do in terms of planning a wedding, however, things are coming together and October will be here in no time.

***notice I don't have any pictures to share of the past weeks events-it's due to my lack of locating my cameras battery charger. I'm deeply saddened and wish it would resurface. I love taking pictures and don't enjoy having a camera with a dead battery.
