I can hardly believe it is July already. That means I have been living down here in North Carolina with my new hubby for 2 full months already! Time seems to be really flying by.
Life here is about the same as it has been. However, I seem to be adjusting to the hustle and bustle of this military town. As well as the stifling heat of the summer in the south. I'm slowly trying to make our little apartment more home-like for us. Its tough when you are limited to what you can hang on the wall and the "cute" furniture for decoration is way more than you'd like to spend! But I'm getting there and it feels a little more like home each day.
I've been home twice in the last month. Earlier in June for Brian's graduation ceremony and then again the end of June for Brian's graduation party. It was a fantastic time both trips! I'm so proud of my little (well bigger younger) brother. He's a great person and I'm thankful we get along much better than we did when we were young kids.
I'll be going home again in the next 5 days or so for my best friend/sister's bridal shower. I am the maid of honor...I guess matron since I am married...in her wedding. I am also the hostess of the shower. I put a lot of thought into her shower with cute matching color themes, fun games, neat prizes, and the whole works. Its just unfortunate that the weekend in July when she was able to come to PA is the weekend right before another shower I was responsible for attending: Lauren's shower in Michigan. I found myself in quite a position. I needed to be at Lindsay's shower for sure since I was the host, but I also needed to be at Lauren's. She is a dear friend and made the trip for my shower in February. However, the plane ticket prices were over $700 to manage to make it up for both showers. That is way out of our budget. Unfortunately I will only be able to make it to Lindsay's shower next weekend.
On a positive note, I received a phone call a few days ago from a potential client! A woman who hasn't ridden in nearly 8 years is looking for Western Pleasure lessons on her 26 year old Quarter Horse. She emphasized how she wishes to start slowly to get back into riding again. She sounded like a very nice lady and I look forward to our first lesson!
Our little kitten is growing like a bad weed! He's becoming much more confident and I find him trying to balance on top of our flat screen, wide screen, television. He's highly adorable but not when he is teeter-tottering on the expensive TV! His last vet check-up was about two weeks ago and he is a healthy three pound bundle of energy! I'll attach pictures of him in my next post once I get them loaded on my computer.
