Well, summer is rapidly coming to a close and I have to admit it has been a very lazy couple of months. I am going to have a hard time breaking my "lazy" routines when school resumes in two weeks. Although I am looking forward to being back on a schedule. I have had some good times this summer. In early July I attended a Brad Paisley concert with my good friend Katie. It is the only country singer that I am really familiar with (thanks to Katie!) and will go see in concert. Here are some pictures of us before and during the concert:



We had a good time but I missed having Tom there. He does NOT like country music so there was no way he was going to attend with us (even though we did have an extra ticket!)
I have spent several days at the pool which has been enjoyable during the hotter days. I am try to convince Tom that it would be a good idea to put an in ground pool in but I don't think he's sold. We don't have much privacy in our back yard so if we were to get a pool our neighbors would have a great view of us.
Heather and Jason were in town visiting from Germany. It was a pleasure to have them stay here with us for the 2 1/2 weels they were in town. We had many family gatherings over at our house, celebrated Jason's birthday and went to the zoo. It was sad to see them go but Tom and I have decided to spend Christmas there again so it will only be about 4 months before we see them again.
