August Fun before school starts 2018

Thought I would kick off this post with my view this morning…

This photo really is so very very fitting in so many ways!

Our off weekend with Chris… we got to spend the weekend with Deborah and Lesly at a beautiful lake house in New Hampshire.

The water was so clear and warm… Bella was in her glory having open access to a water park with one of her best pal and cousin Piper!

While we are at the lake house… Chris sends me a photo of his current situation.

Perfect calm morning to Paddle Board in South Florida!

I am no longer feeling bad about my current situation…

Back to school shopping with my crew!

I carry the tradition on… my mom and I always use to get a coffee to shop.

Hard to put the for sale sign in the picture. Love my flowers and yard especially after just finishing the lawn mowing.

Feels like summer just started — Hard to believe that they are already going back to school. Ayden’s first day of school this year is before Labor Day.

Ayden heading off to 6th Grade!

Kicking off August at a Lake House with the FAM! 2018

Summer road trip brought us back to our old stomping grounds.
Baltimore, Maryland

Our romance began in the basement gym of this building…
Both working out after work (something I rarely do being a morning person) We were the only two in the gym. The rest is history! He asked me out to dinner ~ I never refuse a meal! Little did I know my life would change forever that night!

We spent nearly everyday running the promenade from the Inner Harbor ~ through Fells Point ~ to Canton.

Always wrapping up our runs on the weekend getting a coffee and a bagel and our favorite breakfast stop!
Reliving our glory days!

This was our first home together…
1261 William Street!
The front door color has changed and we never had an AC unit in our window but everything else looks the same. Such great memories were made here and it was really neat to show the kids where our lives together started.

Until next time…
We left feeling more relaxed, some mild concern for the recovery of our livers and
some fantastic memories!
Feeling Blessed!
