Keepin' the Roads Hot!

We've (mainly me) been keeping the roads hot lately! I haven't spent a weekend in Auburn since Mother's Day! Last weekend I had to go up to Birmingham for a baby shower on Saturday and a wedding shower on Sunday. It was fun though! I got to see a lot of my high school friends on Saturday at the baby shower and eat a Surin for dinner. It was so good! Sunday I helped host an "Around the Apartment" Shower for one of my old college/Bimirngham roomie, Julie. She's getting married in July and moving up to NYC! I'll be a little sad that she'll be so far away but hopefully we'll have a free place to stay if we can ever make a trip up there!

Since Philip had the whole week off the week before, last week was crazy busy for him! Long surgery days and even longer clinic days! I spent most of the evenings going up to the loft to monitor the progress (or lack thereof at the begining of the week). The good news is that they started making some at the end of the week and we now have dry wall up! The coffee shop that is below us, Red Door June, opened Wendesday. So now they can focus all of their attention to our house! We stopped by the coffee shop Wendesday night to see how their first day of business went and to get some coffee. I think that Philip is going to LOVE having some great coffee just a few steps away!

Friday we left for a nice, relaxing weekend at the beach. Sunday was Philip's birthday (the 6th anniversary of his 21st birthday!) so I took that as a great excuse to get some beach time in. We ate some wonderful seafood and laid on the beach all day Saturday & Sunday! On our way home last night, we stopped at my parents house and they cooked us a steak and had a little mini-cake for Philip. We finally got home about 10:30 and feel right in to bed, we were pooped! Charlie has been at the "spa" (that's what we call the vet) all weekend. He's getting a bath this morning and I'll pick him up at lunch. We've definitely missed having him around this weekend. I'm sure he will be mad at us for leaving him for a whole weekend! In the almost 2 years we've had him, it's only the 3rd time he's ever been boarded, the dog is very spoiled!!!

While going & doing on the weekends has been fun, I am very much looking forward to staying home this weekend!

Oh, I will post some pics of the beach & loft later. I don't have my camera with me!
