A Rainy Fourth

Holy cow I cannot believe it has already been a week since Ashley came to visit...which also means far too long since my last update! I swear this summer is trying to fly by without letting me catch a breath. Perhaps I think its flying by because it has barely felt like summertime at all with all of this rain. Now everyone down here has explained to me over and over again how this is very unusual for Georgia but it has seriously rained for weeks straight...thank goodness we did get a break this week though. The rain, however, was not phased by Ashley coming to visit and just kept on pouring down.
Heading to pick up Ashley looked like this....
Even though we had the rainiest 4th of July in Georgia history, it was so nice to have Ashley down here. Its crazy that we have known each other since middle school! While things have certainly changed and we've both moved away, its like nothing has changed at all when we get together...which is great!
We'll just smile right on through the rain

Of course, since Ashley and I met as a result of our horsey love we had to go out to the barn for a ride and a grooming session with the old men:)
Ashley hadn't ridden for two years...and she still looked great in the saddle! Move to GA Ash so that we can ride together more often!
And I'm pretty sure Colonel will miss you too!
Sadly Ashley had to head back up to Maryland on Saturday but we were lucky enough to sneak in a few hours of sunshine before she had to head out...and lots of fun wedding stuff all week! For those of you who haven't yet heard, Ashley became ordained this year so that she will be able to marry Mike and I next October (yet another thing I need to update everyone on). We are so excited that we will be able to have a close friend share in the moment with us and very glad that she is someone we both feel very comfortable with, especially with planning a wedding away from many connections. Thank you Ashley!! And thanks a ton for watching a thousand wedding shows with me and reading through a bazillion magazines!!
Speaking of weddings...this coming week my wonderful college roomie is getting married!! I am so excited to be a part of her special day next week when she gets to walk down the aisle and day "I do" to Wade! I will be sure to take a ton of pictures...well Mike will be sure to ;)...and report back all the fun details. I still can't believe that 5 years ago I walked into Intermont Hall having no idea what the next years would bring and what I got were some amazing memories, an awesome education and a best friend!


Back when the puppies were small enough to carry...this seems like forever ago.
At Katie and Paul's wedding...and now its your turn Gray!!!
