I can't believe today is the last day of July. Time is flying by and I know August will go by quickly as well since we have a lot going on this month. August is a favorite month of mine because it holds my birthday and my anniversary!!
WHAT WE ARE EATING THIS WEEK...
Sunday: Family reunion dinner.
Monday: Family reunion dinner.
Tuesday: Family reunion dinner.
Wednesday: Probably take out since I will be doing laundry all evening and getting ready for the work day on Thursday.
Thursday: It is Rory's first softball game of this summer season, so the girls and I will probably get salads and grilled cheese (for them).
Friday: It is my birthday, so I am going out with friends!
Saturday: Going out with Rory for my birthday dinner!
WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT...
August always makes me reminisce my childhood because I was born in August. And just 4 short days later is my dads birthday. So August is all about birthdays for my family. And then just two weeks later is my wedding anniversary. This year will be #6 for us. What is the item/thing for #6? I need to start thinking of a great gift.
WHAT I'M LOVING...
These Summer days. I feel like Summer is flying by in the blink of an eye, but we are soaking in all the sunshine, beach days and fun that we can. And Lake Tahoe. I am always loving Lake Tahoe. I feel so blessed to live near the most amazing lake ever!
And check out these beach babies at Tahoe.
WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO...
July brought us the 4th which we spent in Tahoe.
Then the celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe followed by a week of being a solo mommy. The girls first movie in a theater. And then a family reunion. I didn't post many weekend updates this month. I did post on IG though. So follow me there.

WHAT I'M DREADING...
Just how hot it has been and how hot it will be in Phoenix. Ugh.
WHAT I'M WORKING ON...
Just getting ahead on my blogging schedule and a few collaborations.
WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT...
Our next Graeagle trip and the start of football. Our first Nevada home game is August 30th against Purdue. I can't wait.

WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING...
So I have been pretty bad lately. I got several books on loan from my library and I would start some of them and not finish. I just couldn't get into them. Like Into the Water. But I did read one book this month and it was It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. If you remember correctly, I LOVED Verity by the same author. I read the book in less than 24 hours. It was that good. Read it.
As for TV, I have been watching my usuals like Jane the Virgin, Big Little Lies, Master Chef, Younger and The Killing. The Killing came out several years ago, but it is available on Prime. I binged the first three seasons and I am on season 4 now. Soooo good.
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO...
It is pretty quiet around here.
WHAT I'M WEARING...
I have been shopping a lot lately, so you can read my Friday Favorites for the month and see all the goodness that I purchased.
WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND...
It is my birthday weekend, so I am celebrating ME and then heading out on a work trip on Sunday.

DeleteSo many great things coming up for you in August! I love seeing your beautiful wedding pics. I've been the same way over the summer with posting. It's so hard to take time away from these great summer days to be behind the computer. Insta has been a lot easier for me. Stop it! You met Carlton! How fun! Sierra Beautifully Candid

DeleteI never tire looking at people's wedding pictures.
ReplyDeleteAlfonso! How fun is that!!!!
So did the girls intentionally sit as far apart from each other at the movies? :) LOL
I never do either. I LOVE wedding photos. He was such a great guy! Well, they wanted to sit next to me and to my mom. That is why they were far apart.
DeleteLoved seeing all the wedding photos! Someday I'd like to visit Tahoe. Dave has been there but I haven't. I didn't like Something In The Water either, though I did finish it. Verity is my favorite by Colleen Hoover but I read It Ends With Us too, I heard it's becoming a movie!
ReplyDeleteYou should. You guys travel a lot and it is an amazing place. It is becoming a movie? I definitely want to see it.
DeleteYay for a Friday birthday! Love your wedding photos, so pretty. I was obsessed with the book Verity (I think I picked it up on your recommendation, actually!) -- SO good.
ReplyDeleteit is a good one. I loved it and then It Ends with Us.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lindsay!
DeleteOur wedding anniversary is also in August (the 25th) and it will be 13 years married for us. I love the wedding photos!! The picture of the girls at the movies looks like that mirror image filter on those apps. So cute!
