August JOY

Wow! Where has this month gone? August has been absolutely insane but has also been absolutely fun too! We started the month out celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. We celebrated with our girls who bring the JOY to our family!
Anna had a fun time taking her cousins to Six Flags for their first time. We had a great, hot day riding rides and eating!

Jerry and I went the following week to Baltimore for a little JOY trip to reconnect and have fun. It was a blast and made us realize we want to do that more often...we realize that won't happen but it was nice to dream.
We've spent alot of time at the pool that Jerry is working at. Anna was able to get her "band" which allows her to swim in the big pool ALL BY HERSELF! Watching Anna accomplish so many little things this summer at the pool has brought me much JOY and pride.
We took our girls to the aquarium and Rainforest Cafe'. Seeing their faces throughout that day was so enJOYable and made me smile.
We also were able to go with family to the Safari at GA and had an awesome time together!Jer and I attended a wedding for a colleague of his which was so much fun. Whenever we go to a wedding (which isn't very often) it reminds us of the vows we took and the love we have for each other in a special way. I must say weddings bring JOY!
Last but certainly not least (we do have SIX more days!) we were able to spend time with friends and family out to dinner the other night. It was nice to get together as adults, no kids, and just enJOY one anothers company.
All in all August has been a JOYous month filled with lots and lots of fun! We are sad to see it come to an end but excited to see the JOY ahead of us in September!
