Happy July

Okay, so I finally broke down and updated this poor blog. I believe eventually I will have to give up blogging since I'm so horrible at keeping up with it. No one is just on the edge of their seats waiting for me to update anyway. :)

This past month, we were very busy. We went to Orlando at the beginning of the month. We took Callie to Sea World, Magic Kingdom, and even drove over to Daytona to spend the night one night. We had a good time, and I even got in free to the Magic Kingdom on my birthday! They gave me this pin that said "Happy Birthday, Brittany" and every time someone in the park noticed it they would say, "Happy Birthday, Brittany!" It was weird, but very nice all at the same time. Callie enjoyed herself there and now since we've been, she's a little into the whole Disney thing now. It's a little after the fact, but maybe we can go back in a few years, and she'll actually remember what she saw then!


Callie liked the beach too. Definitely her favorite part was the sand. She didn't care for the ocean. She didn't like the way the water chased her... :)

I would say her most favorite part of the whole vacation was the kiddie pool and the playground at the resort we stayed at. There were two pools; we discovered the better of the 2 the last day we were there, and it was awesome! It was so huge, and she could really just play while I watched her. There were no other kids in it either, so she pretty much had it all to herself. The playground was awesome too! It was perfect for her size. She wore herself out going up and down those stairs to go down the twisting slide.

After vacation, we had Callie's party. She got lots of wonderful presents! She had an Ariel cake, and she loved it. We had her party at church, and we really just tried to invite grandparents, aunts, uncles, and first cousins. We figured that would be enough. We had a good turn out and a good time.

After Callie's party, we pretty much have been doing things around the yard and in the house. I'm determined to redo my bathroom before we go back to school. Yuck, I have to go back August 3rd... :( I really want to paint my bathroom a purple color. I know, you're thinking ewww, but I want it a pretty purple color. Not Barney purple or grape purple or anything like that. I've got one color I really like. I'm thinking about going to get it next week! I've set myself a budget, too. I should document my bathroom makeover on my blog. Maybe that would get me more motivated to do it more often!

Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the summer. I am really enjoying mine. I'm trying to just have fun everyday and enjoy being with Callie (& Andy) as much as I can.

Have a great 4th, and a great month!
