Adventures In: Catching Up

Hello my long lost blog :)

Hello anyone reading this!

So what has happened since my last update?

I'm loving summer. It's been great to me. I haven't had any pool time so that's a bummer, but I'll survive.

My sweet "niece" Addison turned two! She is so smart, adorable, loving, and brave. Her turning two also gave us a reason to road trip to Bloomington!!

I turned 29! Brad had a great birthday weekend planned for me. I'm getting close to my "scary age", but I'm so very happy with my life right now.

My awesome "nephew" turned 4!!! FOUR I can't believe it. It makes me cry. He's so smart, funny, brave, etc etc. His birthday celebration meant another B-town visit! Yay yay!! Side note: last year for him and this  year for Addison I blew up tons of balloons and filled the hallway with them while they slept so they'd have a nice surprise before their parties. I didn't for J this year. One of the first things out of his mouth when he woke up, "where are my balloons". HEART CRUSHED!!!! I did water balloons for him later in the day so he could have a water balloon fight with me, the boyfriendy, and his friends and he seemed to enjoy that. Hopefully it made up for my aunt fail!!!

Things the the boyfriendy are going amazingly. Last night we.....LOOKED AT ENGAGEMENT RINGS!! It was 100% his idea. I was floored, in the best possible way!! We were at dinner, and I was giving him a hard time for looking at his phone. He texted me (while sitting a foot and a half away) to say "I love you". And I said "don't text me while we are sitting here together", and he was still typing away. I was getting annoyed slightly. He says something about he needs to send one last text. It was too me, and it said "want to go to the mall and look at engagement rings" Insert me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him to pieces, and I'm beyond excited about what the future may have in store for us!!

Oh speaking of the (not so distant) future--- - we are going to Nashville in Sept. Why? Oh to see my favorite (Butch Walker) in concert. My favorite musician, one of my favorite cities, with my favorite person. Color me EXCITED!!!!

Oh and COLORS-- I did The Color Run in Indy yesterday.  So much fun. I was sad that not everyone could go (ie Brad) but it was a blast, even getting stuck in the rain and having the color dust turn into color mud :)

Oh the 4th of July has come and gone too. We made it to 3 fireworks shows this summer. Love it!

We've become great friends with one of my co-workers. We've had many game/hang/chill nights with him and other pals. We've also started geocaching. However, apparently we are like 6 years behind on this trend. We've also done some fun exploring.

Okay that's my life update.

I hope anyone reading this is loving life as much as I am right now!!!

PS this rambly post being brought to you by the fact that I got called into work at 6am on a Sunday. I'm exhausted, and needed something to focus on to stay awake. Thanks blog, and sorry for the million errors I'm sure I've made.
