Only One More Month

    I can't believe we are down to one more month of summer. July was a fun month even though it was so stinking hot! I love the summer, but when it starts getting in the mid to upper 90's, it is rough. We enjoyed the 4th, hanging out with our friends by their backyard pool. Jeremy went to see fireworks with his friend but Mike and I stayed home with the pets this time, to give them comfort during all the fireworks. Surprisingly, it is more terrifying for the cat than the dog.
    We had a great time at the beach. I thought a lot while we were on vacation about how long we have been going to Myrtle Beach and how much those trips have meant to us. Mike and I both went there growing up, and while we dated we would go a few times from spring through the summer because his mom had a camper there. He asked me to marry him while we were walking on the beach. And Jeremy has gone on vacations in Myrtle Beach almost every year since he was born. Maybe it will be a special place for him to bring his family, too.
