Lost, but not forgotten.

Oh hey, it's me. The long lost blogger. I wish I could say that I have thousands of good excuses as to why I have been absent but I will just conclude that basically life got in the way. Oh and I am planning a wedding that is a 58 short days away.

Lots has happened since I wrote last and I figured I'd link up with Lauren From My Grey Desk for High Five for Friday to tell you about it. Although since I have left you in the dark for so long, I'll go for a list of ten instead of five.
Here we go...

10. I had one of my wedding showers. It was absolutely beautiful. Brandon's family did such a wonderful job putting on the event. I am so grateful to be welcomed into such a wonderful loving family.

Me opening some of my wonderful gifts!

9. I got to spend lots of time with by best friend Kaitlyn that was in town from Philly. Even better I convinced her to stay an extra week, what an added bonus!

Kait and her cute new little FIAT.

8. I participated in the Ride for Roswell. Thanks to friends and family donations I was able to raise over $400 and I rode 46 miles in memory of friends and family that have had life cut too short by cancer.

7. I got to watch my sister run her third half marathon. She ran the 50 Yard Finish which finished on the 50 Yard line of the Buffalo Bills stadium. What an awesome experience for her. She inspires me daily.

6. I don't get to fit in as much family time as I would like but when I do I certainly try to get as most time as possible with my little niece Dellah. She turns 1 next week. She is so sweet...

5. Eating clean. The soon-to-be hubby and I are trying to focus on our diet a little more especially with the upcoming special day. We have a vegetable garden we have been working on that is starting to produce some good stuff. We have used some of our bridal shower gifts to help make the "healthy eating" a little easier. I still won't pass up a donut though.


4. Brandon's sister was in town with his two nephews. Liam is three and baby Ethan is about 6 months. It was great to spend time playing with them since we don't get to see them too often.

Brandon and Liam on the teeter-tauter at the Clarence fire works!

Playing Mom- Disregard my creepy face!

3. Other great happenings...

Tie-die Roses from by hubby, Giant 4th of July cookie cake, and a note left on my white board at work after a day off.

2.  Spending time with my favorite guy and my favorite girl...

And some college friends, pool side!

1. And just some every day stuff that makes my life "Refreshing"...

My beautiful Starbucks drawing. Running. My tuckered out Pup. And Power Yoga <3.

So now you are all caught up. Have a happy Friday Ya'll!
