Why'd you quit blogging?

I honestly can not believe that it's been almost 4 months since I've blogged. I love writing and I love my blog but it has never been my number one priority, it's always just been a hobby. So when life got busy it naturally got put on the back burner. Now that I have a little more free time I'm going to try and update more and people can stop asking me why I quit blogging. I don't quit things. I'm not a quitter.

So a lot has gone down in the past few months, let's see if I can catch you up real quick.

In May we celebrated Mother's Day by taking my mom out to a fancy hotel brunch. Breakfast/brunch is one of my families favorite things on the weekend. We go to my mom's literally every Sunday and pig out like fatties, we are a very classy bunch.
{classy people above, except for my brother, why is he wearing those socks?}

I also traveled to Phoenix to visit my grandmother. It was the first time in a really long time that I have traveled alone. Normally I aimlessly follow M around so navigating the airport alone was interesting. I had a great time with my grandmother, she is so funny and it was fun spending time with her one on one. I also got to see a couple of my uncles and spend time relaxing by the pool.

{this is my uncle Shawn, he is single. that is all.}

At the end of May we celebrated my mom's birthday at Cheesecake Factory. We are Cheesecake Factory whores. They should start paying me to promote them. I won't even use the word whores either. I'll say sophisticated words like huge portions, delicious cheesecake, and a lovely atmosphere. Even though that's really not my style.

{remember this guy? ya, we're still married.}

{birthday girl and baby sis}

{red the power color. looks like someone didn't get the memo.}

In June I had a birthday. Whatever.

{the sweet ass card M got me}

{i think I baked these in June, who cares though. aren't they pretty?}

In July we celebrated the fact that my former co worker and wonderful friend Stephanie is a rock star at work. She won a free dinner for 4 and because she is a cool friend she invited M and I to go with her and her fiance. We gorged on steaks, desserts, and wine. It was a good time with two of the best people I know.

{beautiful on the inside and out}

We also went to Colorado in July. We try to at least once a year to see M's friends in Denver. We hit up a Rockies game, went shopping, and went out to Boulder for some sushi. Our trip also fell right around M's birthday so we celebrated that as well.

{we like vacation}

{we like to eat and talk and maybe watch some baseball}

{the birthday boy before sushi}

So that's the long and short of it really. My older brother just left town after being here for 2 weeks so that's been keeping me busy lately. I'm also half way through school, I'm going to update you on that in another post.

It's good to be back, can't wait to catch up with all my favorite bloggers!
