So many random things have gone on in the past few weeks that I haven't blogged about. I guess I'll work chronologically:

*Equity Line
In order to pay the downpayment on our new house, we're going to use equity from the townhouse. We went to the bank Monday (07/18) and 'closed' on our Equity line.

*Enduro race
The Martin team ran in their second Enduro race Friday (07/22). The car seemed to be running great and avoided the big accidents. On lap 30 the race was red flagged (for the second time) to move some wrecked cars. At that point John came in with a punctured tire and didn't have time to get back out to finish the race.

Overall the car did well. Still overheating a little, and now it needs some cosmetic repairs to the right front, but it will run again!

*Sara & Eric's Wedding
On July 23, Sara & Eric were married in the Chapel at Virginia Tech. I haven't figured out which denomination the service was, but it was very unique. The wedding party, as well as the bride and groom sat down for a while to listen to the minister.

The reception was held in this little bed & breakfast (The Inn at Hans Meadow) right around the corner from where I used to work in Christiansburg. All those days driving by, I never even knew it was there. The majority of the evening's activites were held outside either in the gardens (bar) or under the white tents (dinner & dancing). The entire setting was beautiful, with simple decorations in pink & green with an emphasis on thie monogram/initials.

We had a great time catching up with Maggie & Quentin, Bridget & Kevan and even Krista & Jon were there! < pics >


*New favorite lunching place: Apple Spice; you know you go too much when the cashiers recognize you!

*Creations site
Maggie & I finally got a chance to meet and go over some ideas for Creations new website Jeff & I will be doing. I think the initial layout/design if decided on, now we have to work on content. I scanned lots of pictures and magazine articles after our meeting, so hopefully we can get this new site up and running soon because the current one is so outdated!
