We're here, but we're not here

Well, so much for a slow summer. I haven't had much time to post because even during the week, it seems like I'm never home. Here's a quick re-cap of what we've been up to (sorry, no pictures in this post):

- Carmel/San Francisco the first weekend in May for my first marathon. It was amaze-balls. It really should get it's own post. We'll see.
- Two weeks after that, Philip headed out on Wednesday to Houston with his mom for his Ironman. Bob and I flew out on Friday to meet them. He had an amazing race and I was so proud of him. He says he's "one and done" but I don't believe him.
- Memorial Day weekend we actually stayed in town. Philip was "on call but not really on call". Which is more annoying that him being ligitimately "on call". I can't even remember what we did. I think we tried getting our life back in order after 6 months of training consuming every weekend. I do know that we saw The Hangover II.
- The next weekend we headed down to the Dominican Republic for 5 days for our "Marathon/Ironman Celebration/Dirty 30" trip with Tony & Britney. To say it was amazing would be an enormous understatement. Phil's mom had a hard time understanding when we told her we did "nothing." No excursions, no nothing. Reading, drinking, eating. That's it.
- The very next weekend we headed to Atlanta to attend the innaugural Open Container Open at Kinsey's house. Food, beer, games, costumes. Hilar. That's all I have to say. Before we headed some Sunday we stopped by to see our nephew, Carter. He's adorbs and I'm itching to see him again.
- June 15 Philip turned 30. No celebration. Still detoxing from The DR and OCO.
- I think the next weekends were uneventful because Philip was on call 10 days straight. Which was probably a good thing that something kept our butts at home.
- 4th of July weekend we headed up to Hunstville for a family reunion. It was a good time and a lot of Philip's family came. It made his sweet grandmother so happy.
- We drove back Sunday to attend our annual 4th of July party at Mary's. This year we let go of the redneck theme and went country club. It was hilar as well.
- Since then I have been in wedding mode. My cousing is getting married this weekend and I have had a shower for her the past two Saturdays. This past Saturday we headed to Birmingham after her lingerie shower and took her to dinner for a little "bachelorette" celebration. She had fun and we all tried on her lingerie. Pretty hysterical.
- I leave tomorrow after work to head to Birmingham for her wedding weekend. I'm really excited about it! I'm weird and have a HUGE family and I'm pretty tight with most of my cousins so I'm looking forward to hanging out with them for a few days. Philip, however, is missing out on all the fun. He got a fun suprise just last week when he found out they are on call for 10 days straight starting Friday. I think he's actually a little bummed because he really gets along with my cousins and we all have a great time when we are together.

So that's it. The Hake summer re-cap thus far. Hopefully I will have time to post some pics of our adventures soon. Maybe... Up next we have our 5 year anniversary, an adventure race for Philip and a weekend beach trip.
