Hi! Allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Mandy and I'm the owner of this blog.  I've been AWOL for about a week now due to the fun, busy days that this summer has brought.  I feel like I need to re-aquaint myself with everyone... it feels like forever since I've posted anything! 

I had the privilege of meeting a fellow blogger today at lunch!  Ashley from The Blessed Nest came over and introduced herself to me today.  It was so neat to officially meet her!  She and I have been reading each other's blogs for awhile so it was fun to actually meet the sweet girl behind the blog.  :-)  Ashley, thanks so much for coming over to say hi today!  I'm so glad we got to meet each other.

We've had a wonderful summer so far.  Mallory had two weeks of swimming lessons that consumed our mornings.  She did great and even jumped off the diving board on the last day!

Our evenings have been filled with golf tournaments, baby showers, church choir rehearsals, softball meetings (for Brad's sports reach prison ministry), and late night trips to Andy's for ice cream!!!  Things have been extremely busy, but we're having fun!  I'm hoping next week slows down just a little bit, though. 

Today is my anniversary!  Brad and I have been married for 12 years!!!  :-)  He's playing softball with the prison ministry team today, so we celebrated last night with dinner at Olive Garden.  It was delicious and we stuffed ourselves full! 

Jack is growing up so fast.  He has started saying "I wuv you" and it absolutely melts my heart!  Fruit is his favorite food and he LOVES blueberries!!  He could down an entire pint of them if I'd let him.  He also loves Coke and begs for it when we're out at restaurants.... "oke!  oke!"  He is still Mallory's shadow and mimicks everything she does!  I let them take a bubble bath together one night and they had a blast!

I guess that's about all I have to report right now.  :-)  HA!  I have several reviews coming up and another GREAT giveaway!!!!  So stay tuned!  :-)  I look forward to hearing from you and hope you are all having a fabulous summer!
