Summer Summary

It may not officially be fall, but since my husband has started back to grad school it pretty much feels like it. I guess this post is somewhat for me to document the summer of 2012 for us but I hope that you find it exciting too.

First: Things we Did~ I'm just gonna say right away that this is the biggest and best summer I have ever had. Why? Well because:

1. We got MARRIED!!
2. We went on a cruise for our honeymoon! (the first cruise for both of us)
3. On our honeymoon we got to go snorkeling in the worlds 2nd largest Barrier Reef.
4. Also on our honeymoon we got to climb some Mayan Ruins.
5. We moved to our new apartment in Richmond.
6. I got an internship at Odell Associates.
7. I got a job at Courtney Ludeman Interiors.
8. We've been relaxing a lot after all of that. Whew! It makes me tired just thinking about doing all of that in about 3 months!

Second: Places we Ate~ We love to eat and especially eating out. Richmond is a great place to find a variety of restaurants. Here is a range of things we tried. Let me know what your favorite eats in Richmond are!

And my friends Kelly and Ashley came for dinner :) We also went home for my friend Chelsey and Sean's wedding!! And tomorrow my parents are coming to visit!!
