Back to the grind

First off, Will's birthday bash was a huge success! We had a great time celebrating with family and friends!

Beer Pong Table- built by Will, his brother, and his dad. Painted by me, Will, and his brother and sister. The floating beer pong table idea was replaced by this creation.

After the party was all said and done, we headed to Edisto! We had a wonderful vacation with my family. The weather was HOT, but a great time was had by all!! We relaxed alot, we ate alot, and enjoyed each other's company. It was so nice not to have anything particular to do. I read 3 books and soaked up some rays! We went for late afternoon boat rides in the creek and walks on the beach.

We got home from the beach on Friday afternoon. We spent the day acclimating ourselves back into reality. Vacation sure does suck the life out of you. I am glad we had the whole weekend to recoup before going back to work today. Saturday night we celebrating my good friend Blair's birthday at one of our new favorite restaurants, The Pizza Joint. We had a fabulous time with friends, as always! On Sunday, we got up for church and spent the rest of the day relaxing.
Oh, I did finally make it back to the gym Saturday morning- it kicked my butt! Will and I did some water exercises/aerobics yesterday- that is a great workout! I will definitely be taking advantage of our neighborhood pool for exercising! I have heard that 20 minutes of walking in the pool equals 40 minutes of walking on land. That works for me! You can definitely feel the resistance walking in the pool.
So, it's back to the grind this week before the long 4th of July weekend! We will be celebrating with dear family friends at their pool.  For now, I'm just working for the weekend!!
