Where did summer go??

Well, it has been quite some time since I've posted. This summer has been extremely busy for the Townsend family, Romeo included :)

We started off June with a few trips to the lake and a trip to St. Louis for my birthday. I got to shop 'til I dropped then we headed to dinner at the Melting Pot. My amazing husband told them it was my birthday when he got reservations, so there were balloons and a package of chocolate fondue to take home. Hello, heaven, it was just as amazing at home.

The following weekend we headed to Norfork Lake with my family, it was a blast. Love everything about that lake, except it is 5 hours away from us :( We also went to lake a few other times that month, and my mom, sister, and I took a shopping trip to Memphis! My Mom is a super shopper! My sister and I could barely keep up! Jeremy, Mom, Dad, and I also went to a Cardinals game in July, with free tickets from my boss in the Redbirds Club, what a nice guy :)

August has been equally busy for us as I am the type of person who never wants to just stay home. We've been to the lake a few more times and I made a trip to St. Louis last weekend to visit 2 of my best SEMO friends. We had a blast, stayed out until 3 a.m. just having fun! This weekend, Jeremy goes on a bachelor party/canoe trip with some buddies, and Romeo and I are heading down to visit my parents.

And...next Saturday morning we are leaving for a much needed vacation to New York City! I can't wait! I haven't taken a vacation day since our honeymoon in January. So when I say much needed that is definitely the truth! We have so many things we want to do and see and eat! I'm so ready for this trip! We didn't book it until the last week of July so luckily I haven't had to wait too long. I have a feeling next week will drag by due to all my excitement!

This summer has definitely been a fun one, and one I will always remember since it's our first summer as husband and wife! We have done many fun things and we will continue to throughout the year as we have weddings, my sister's 21st birthday, and the arrival of our first niece, Gracie!! I can't wait to meet her and spoil her like no other! I have a feeling she is definitely going to give me baby fever :) However, as much as I have enjoyed the summer of going many places on a whim, hopefully we will fight the fever for at least another summer...we shall see...
