July. It's almost over.

1. It's Friday

I am officially living for the weekend. I am tired of work clothes, work shoes, make up, and being interested in things that I am really not interested in.  LOL.  I think that though I hit the cusp I am a millennial through and through.  Holy hell are they hard to manage and they completely move jobs every year or so....YIKES... that is me.  BUT on a grateful, unfearful note - IT'S FRIDAY!

2. OBX

Per usual, our family trip was wonderful.  The kids had a blast and we were able to connect with family and make tons of memories.  The car rides were simple and we had absolutely perfect weather.  On the last day Mike ended up with stiches but we have yet to receive the ED bill so that too is so far not an issue at all.  I love traveling and can't wait for our next trip in less than 50 days!

3. Team Bonding
Last Friday we had a team bonding experience and did a handle bar ride around the city.  First of all, it was an absolute blast.  Second, I don't think that I have been so drunk in a LONG time.  It was absolutely crazy.  Though I loath working in my office 8-5 I am really starting to enjoy the leadership team that I work with.  I especially love my boss.  Grateful for a strong example of leadership.  This is NOT my boss pictured.  This is Amy who I sat by on our bike trip who is hilarious.

 4. The LAKE
Oh boy has the lake house been an adventure.  I have learned a TON about myself.  One major thing that was a bit surprising is that boats stress me out.  Unless we are crawling along I think that we are going to capsize at basically every single second.  Yes - feel jealous of my husband who has to handle me.   I am also learning how much work and prep goes into a weekend home.  That being said -- we spend HOURS playing games, swimming and spending time with each other.  We have no TV in the house.  I think that we all love the quick time away to help us regroup and enjoy just BEING.

 5. Home cooked meal
This week while Cameron was at acting camp Mike helped Owen choose, prep and prepare any meal that he wanted.  He chose braised beef tacos and they were AMAZING.  Right when the cooking started we had an electricity malfunction at our house so they moved the meal to grandpa and grandmas.  Owen loved it.  The meal was fabulous AND we had left overs for the rest of the week.  Perfect for late night tacos.

6. Lifetime
Obsessed with the Lifetime pool.  For the past few weeks we have been able to enjoy the outdoor pool while the kids have swim lessons.   It is so nice that not only is it close to our home but it is rarely crowded.  PLUS the water slides are fun fun fun!
