When I Said Busy....

From reaching the end of the internet to failing to have time to ensure clean clothes, our lives have gone from SLOW to BUSY! In the past month alone, I've taken 8 plane flights. So, here goes a long-winded, not very exciting update:

First, I went into the woods. Yes - truly - into the woods on a business trip. It consisted of nats, sleeping in cars, and hiking. I wish I was kidding. Then, I came home and frantically made food for Caroline's baby shower. She is having girl #3 in July and Allison and I (really Allison) threw her a baby shower followed by a surprise retirement party for Linda. It was the first time all of the grandkids had been together in awhile which was fun!



The following morning, at 3:30 a.m., we got up and left for the airport for our much-need beach vacation in Charleston, SC. The house was a perfect little bungalow just a block off the beach. Spence LOVED the sand, despised the water, and is still fascinated by the dead jelly fish we found. It was great having my parents there and Clint even made a quick visit.







We returned to the beach and then Jarrod and I left the next weekend for Clint's graduation. It was so incredible to see all the people who knew and loved my little brother! Professors actually knew him. :) I went to college for 4 years and I GUARANTEE not a single professor knew my name on graduation day. I don't have pictures but, needless to say, it was a great time. I stayed on in NC for 3 more days for another business trip and was SO READY to be home by the end of it all!

Fnally, the next few weeks Jarrod is busy studying for Level III of the CFA exam on June 4th! He's been very deligent and, although Spence and I miss him, we're proud of his good work ethic! In order to stay out of Jarrod's way, Spence and I have had busy weekends. This past weekend, we went to the zoo on Saturday and a birthday party on Sunday. It was Spence's first adventure in bowling and he loved it! Lets just hope he doesn't dream of making the PBA.



We're still waiting for visitors to show around St. Louis. If you're reading this, that means you! And yes, that's an intentional guilt trip. XOXO
