Now that June is over I finally have some time to breathe. For a little while anyway.

I finally blogged about the Lewis Family reunion we had a few weeks ago. Don't have any pictures though; maybe I can snag some from my dad who finally joined the digital age and bought a digital camera.

The last week of June was pretty stressful. I would come home every day and be totally exhausted. I think I fell asleep on the couch around 8:30 a lot. But this past week has totally made up for it since I have done practically no real work. Almost everyday this week has been spent moving, boxing or tossing out files. I couple of weeks ago I purchased the Desk Apprentice from Staples, so I got that up and running. That probably sounds odd, but having such a large organizer requires some creative arranging. So far I like it a lot, I just wish I had a bigger desk!

As a stress reliever we spent a couple nights in the Sos' attic. I finished tiling Mike's desk and got that grouted. I think grouting was the most fun part; it's like playing with mud. :) Lauren finished up the bar area while the boys worked on various other projects. It's coming along so fast now. Tuesday we starting cleaning up in order to begin flooring. The best part was being able to throw stuff out the window instead of carrying in down the stairs.

Work on the new neighborhood is progressly nicely (but not fast enough for me!). As of last Friday there were 7 houses with at least framing started. I believe the model is supposed to be done sometime this summer. We finally got a 'Home Site' sign, although, it doesn't have a sold sticker on it yet. Hmm... < pics >

Sunday (3rd) we hung out with my coworker Kim, and her family & some friends, for a cookout. It's always fun to spend time with coworkers outside of the office.

The 4th was spent in Bridgewater with the in-laws. We cooked out, played our usual game(s) of Koosh, visited with the grandparents, and made some yummy Oreo ice cream. Jeff had Tuesday off, but I had to go back to work, so we couldn't stay the night. < pics >

Jeff reminded me tonight that 5 years ago today we were moving to Richmond. Broken keys (Uhaul) and bruised fingers (Mrs P) were the only casualties during that move; hopefully we won't have any during the next one. Sometimes it feels like we've been here much longer, but most of the time I can't believe we've been out of college for 5 years. Where did the time go?

The rest of our summer is quickly booking up. A wedding, an off road trip, a truck show, and a trip to Myrtle Beach are all coming up in the next few weeks. Maybe August and September will allow for some free time.
