PS:

Happy 30th Birthday to Lisa today!!!!!!

This summer seems like it is flying by! So, Ryan officially sold his house, we moved him out last week....now its crunch time to find a house. Lots of great things have been going on. Becky had her baby as all of you know, Rebecca came to visit last week and Ryan moved back to Chicago all in the same week!!! Woo hoo..... below are pictures from all the events. The very last couple of pictures are from my very first Nascar race. I know....most of you are like, what? But, Ryan had to work the event and then we got free tickets. It was quite exciting and it had my favorite...a flyover!!!!!

Most of us were able to welcome Rebecca back to Chicago for a couple weeks and we all went for dinner and drinks. Before that, I got to meet new little Cole...so adorable.....such a great baby and sooooooooo cute. I love being a pretend aunt!!

So, now what? lots of house hunting, almost 4 weeks till the triathlon and enjoy the rest of the summer....

Ryan's house is sold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The process has been going on for awhile now since his relocation company has to handle it after the bid is accepted but it is official and the moving truck is picking up Ryan's things next Friday. It is exciting but I know its a little sad for him too as he has to say goodbye to first house and wonderful neighbors. We have a wedding there in a couple weeks...so we can see them all again....I really enjoyed it there too and will miss my visits :) but so happy a million times over that Ryan will be here officially again. Next up....where is Ryan to live? Thanks to Kelly's mom, we have been looking at houses for Ryan to possibly buy. Not sure where, each week we research a new city and price ranges, etc....Its been fun too to see what's out there. So many foreclosures. This is such a crazy time in the world right now. I will keep you posted on his future residence :) Until then, its 2600 my shoebox lane. Above are pictures I took when he first moved in just over 2 years ago.....

I have been out of the loop!!!

So....Happy late 1st birthday to beautiful blue eyed Erica! Her bday was on the 4th of July. Ryan and I decided last minute to head to the Dells for the weekend ( i think we are starting a tradition) but we wanted to go to Erica's bday first. It was a lot of fun and a perfect weather day for the party. After that, we flew up to the Dells since most everyone was already at their parties...for once, no traffic!!! We stayed at the Wilderness, which was awesome. Last 4th we went to the Great Wolf lodge. I love, love the water slides!!!! I think I want to come there every year. My grandparents lived in the Dells and we would go up there all the time when I was little but we never did all the touristy stuff. We got free passes to Tommy Barlett from the Wilderness...go figure since there is no water. But, they have a good sense of humor about things and we watched the air and laser part. Overall, it was a really nice weekend. Below are some pics!!!
