We are so fortunate...

Erik and I got home from a FANTASTIC lake stay.... We arrived Friday with Ryan, Liz, Joey, and Katie. The Kennedy's arrived shortly thereafter, as did Chris and Nick. We enjoyed spaghetti dinner and plenty of front porch sitting. The next day was spent in the water or on the boat or playing a 7 hour cornhole tournament... whatever we chose to do, it was lovely. David Bustle arrived, then we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and chicken wings... the epitomy of health. Don't judge, it was heavely. Sunday, as people left, Erik's mom and Terry arrived, we had a nice day and phenomenal steak dinner that evening. My hubby sure is a grilling master, yay for me! Monday, we spent the majority of the day on the boat, awesome. Then, when everyone went home, Erik and I found ourselves in a romantic lake getaway... so peaceful and quiet. I loved it. We boated, played games and just simply enjoyed eachother's company. Tuesday, before the rain came, we went to LaPrade's for an ice cream treat... for lunch.

We got home yesterday afternoon, and I went to the gym. I am back and BodyPlex and already in such a better mood about going. I finally decided I am NOT a fan of LA Fitness. So, here we go, my official comeback, and I am now actually looking forward to it!

My brother, the miracle man, is now eating solid foods! He sits and stands for moments at a time, although that wears him out. He hopefully will be released into a Rehab facility today and will stay there for 10 days. I am SO grateful that he is recovering so nicely, I can not wait to have him back to 100%. I look so forward to seeing him again soon and hugging his neck and talking with him... in. his. new. home!! Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers, they are obviously working.

Erik is not going to work until Monday, so until then, we are on a stay-cation! ;) I am planning on enjoying each moment until I must return to work to the max.... I can not believe the summer is coming to an end.

Whew. that is all for now. I am going back to reading a delightful book, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons. I am a sucker for a good "girlfriends" type book. Especially those that are nice & light...
