So, yet another month has come and gone in the blink of an eye! July 2010 is now officially behind us. We were lucky enough to spend the month with family and friends, celebrating the 4th of July holiday, my little sister, Kellie's, 19th Birthday, and finally enjoying some summertime sports.
Sunday, July 4th ended up being rainy in Colorado Springs, so after evening church services we decided to forgo the fireworks show at the Air Force Academy, and go to TGIFridays with some good friends of ours. After all, there's no better way to celebrate an American holiday than over a juicy burger and a slice of vanilla bean cheesecake, right? :)
Our second big event of the month was Kellie's 19th Birthday on July 19th. Cory and I both had the day off and we took Lexi with us to Denver and spent the night. Cory and I spent the afternoon blowing up balloons and decorating the house for Kellie's party. Her birthday dinner choice was Outback Steakhouse, and afterwards we came home for cake and presents.
(I have to be honest, Cory blew up EVERY SINGLE balloon by himself--In 23 years I have never managed to be able to blow up a balloon by myself)
My beautiful parents who will be celebrating 26 years of marriage this August :)
Dinner at Outback Steakhouse
Here is a video of us singing Happy Birthday. (In the video is Kellie, My Dad, Cory, Kellie's boyfriend, Jeff, and my Mom--I'm videotaping)
So before we all went to dinner and after blowing up at least 30 balloons, Cory decided to take a break and rest out on my parents Hammock....and Lexi decided she needed to rest too :) Cory and Lexi are best friends.
Every summer some of the members of the church get together and form a softball team to play in the local Colorado Springs league, but Cory hasn't been able to play in years due to his work schedule. This year, however, Cory's hours allowed him to play! I have made it to all but 2 games and have enjoyed watching, as Cory has enjoyed playing and spending time with the guys. Another hobby Cory has been able to take up recently, is golfing. He bought a set of clubs a few months ago but has just recently found the time to enjoy them. He goes weekly with a friend from church to the driving range and is improving every week! :)
Once again, we have been blessed with a happy and healthy month and we look forward to the months ahead. In the month of August we will be starting back to school and our church family will be starting the process of buying our own building, which is something we have been wanting for years:)
We hope everyone else is blessed with as much happiness as we are!!
