Summer Pics!

Lately, I feel like every time I start a new blog it's "Sorry I've been away" or "I've been busy" or "I know it's been awhile" but really, I am sorry that I've been away and I really have been busy and boy, do I know that it's been awhile since my last blog...but, sometimes I feel like I don't have anything blog worthy to say, but today, I'll just show you...

I spent a week here at Sr. High Camp! I don't have any pics of me from the actual camp because I was the one behind the camera this time :)

I've been learning how to be a really great fish mom. We added a couple, lost a couple and now we only have Kiki, Maui, Flash, Jeff, and Wiggles. They are pretty entertaining to say the least.

I've been crazy busy with the garden at work. Lots of time and days spent in the scorching sun but it's looking really good (and this pic only shows half of it).

Visited the Tipp City Antique Show, bought an all maple double dresser for $50 and saw these two favorite friends of mine and scored some soap and a FREE $10 gift card to Living Simply Soap!!

Marked "Seeing Dave Matthews Band in concert" off my bucket list. AWESOME!

And I completed my first 5K as an adult in 45:13 coming in 69th place in my age bracket and 919 overall out of 1,053 and average 15:31/mile. I seriously only wanted to finish but I beat all of my previous times! I am sooooo PROUD of myself. I even beat Jared, the subway guy, who came in behind me!
