Drat!

A month has gone by without any updates! I must say that it was quite a busy month!

The weekend of May 13-16, Matthew and I headed to Washington DC to meet up with some college friends who live on this half of the country. One couple lives in Syracuse, NY and other in Philadelphia. It was absolutely wonderful to see them and to explore the city with such amiable and interested travel companions. I loved how efficient (for the most part) that the Metro was. We only got stuck once where the wait was going to be longer than it would take us to walk there. Lesson learned:) My favorite was seeing the Library of Congress and the Lincoln Memorial. At the Thomas Jefferson Memorial there were no less than six brides there getting their pictures taken with their husbands. What a beautiful place for wedding photos!

While we were in DC we also got to see my brother Jake and his girlfriend Kayla and their adorable apartment. For a basement apartment, it's super nice! Not dark and creepy like most of the ones I've seen. Jake took us to the restaurant he works at nights and weekends and the food was delish! It was lovely to see him!

Matthew and I made the great trek back to Wisconsin to spend some time with friends and family. We got some wedding planning done and finally set the date: July 28, 2012! We also got to spend some time in Minneapolis and see a good chunk of our college friends. The time, as always, was too short but we definitely made the most of it! I'll be back briefly in August for two weddings, provided the price of plane tickets go down.

My cousin Meg and her family were here Sunday-Tuesday! I can't believe we fit 2 adults and three children (5,3,1) in our apartment. It was an absolute blast to have them! I loved reading books to them and having them jump up right away and hold my hand when we walked anywhere. I also got the opportunity to go to the Children's Museum which was AWESOME! They have a whole exhibit dedicated to Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood! Patrick, Becca and even little George had a great time. The best part about the museum is that the kids can touch everything! I was sad to see them go on Tuesday but they were headed off to Philadelphia to see my cousin Pat (Meg's sister) for a few days.



Summer Camp starts on Monday! I'm pretty excited to be back at camp with routines, the swimming pool, double file lines, watching Mr. Mike in his element and having kids scramble to sit by you in morning round up! June 13-August 26 is probably my favorite and most exhausting part of the year.
