Baltimore Trip

We went to Baltimore then end of July to visit Carl, Lindsay, Reagan, and Quint and had such a fabulous time! Shortly after arriving I got a makeover at Reagan's Beauty Shop.

We went into Annapolis that night for dinner and got some good pics by the water.
There was also some huge anime convention in town called Otakon so we saw some interesting people in some interesting costumes! My favorite comment was from Reagan: "SHE had on pink lipstick and HE had on purple lipstick!"

Saturday included some great pool time and some poolside Five Guys. Reagan is a great swimmer and Quint isn't far behind--he loves to hold his breath and stick his head underwater. They both love jumping into the pool and are fearless about it!

We ate some great mexican food that night in downtown Baltimore and walked to the bay afterward to see the boats and snap a few more pictures!
Sunday started with an awesome sermon by Carl at Mosaic. We had lunch at Pei Wei (Louisville needs one of these!) and took a tour of the then-hopeful future building for Mosaic (which is now for sure the location!!). Quint kept asking me to take his picture in the car, so I gladly took him up on that!
Our flight was supposed to leave at 8:30 that night so we got to go to Reagan's soccer game, which was a blast! Uncle Ben helped Reagan get ready for the game.
The warm-up before the game was so cute to watch her with her coach and the other kids. When the game started, it was hilarious how all the kids would run after the ball with no rhyme or reason! Reagan enjoyed watching this at first like us and wasn't too keen to run with the others, but after a couple of back and forth runs down the field and some coaching from daddy, she finally joined the crowd running after the ball.
She got a medal afterward from her coach for being such a great sport!

Notice how before I said our flight was SUPPOSED to leave at 8:30. Our plane, unfortunately, was delayed several times due to bad weather in Florida, where it was coming from, so we didn't make it home until 1:10AM and actually to our house and in bed around 2...and then up for work in the morning, ugh. But it was totally worth it for the great weekend! Can't wait to go back when baby #3 arrives!

Vernon Lanes

Ben bought a Living Social deal for a bowling alley that we'd never even heard of called Vernon Lanes. It was 2 games of bowling for 4 people, plus 1 pizza and 4 sodas, for $20! Can't beat that! It was a tiny little alley with about 10 lanes. We went with Hannah and Dan and had a great time!


...and I won both games ;) Boo-yah.

Six-Year Anniversary

Ben and I celebrated our six year anniversary by eating at a trendy new restaurant downtown called Mozz. It was FAB-U-LOUS! We loved it! We started with a cheese trio appetizer:
followed by a meatball pizza:
and then lobster mac and cheese:
YUM! Completely delicious. We clearly wanted to have cheese on everything :) We didn't even have room for dessert!

Ben gave me a gorgeous bracelet and a pair of earrings to go with it. So sweet!!
I got him some ties, one of which he wore for dinner.
Six years...where does the time go?? I love my husband more than anything and am so grateful he is mine!

HP7

I saw Harry Potter 7 part 2 with Ben, Jenn, and Mom. Jenn had us over beforehand for appetizers, and she had her entire dining room decorated for the occasion! It looked like Halloween in there!
She is Mrs. Hospitality for sure :) She also wore her Gryffindor crest to the movies in typical geek fashion.
The movie was awesome- ready to see it again!! Sad that all the Harry Potter hype is over though, after all these years. It was fun while it lasted!

Banquet Table Scapes

OK, back to the blog world! Just wanted to post my table scapes from the Bible Bowl banquet. Since our text was Genesis, I did the 7 days of creation for the 7 tables.

Day 1: Light
Day 2: Sky to separate water from water
Day 3: Land/vegetation
Day 4: Sun, moon, and stars
Day 5: Fish and birds
Day 6: People and land animals
Day 7: Rest
