I'll try to do a brief update on my summer and make it {somewhat} short and sweet.
First off, most of my summer involved working... and working... and more working...
I did get to enjoy a short weekend getaway to Charleston with my best friend and another friend of mine. We got to enjoy Isle of Palms for a couple of days and got to sight see and shop in Charleston. It was the perfect little vacation and it's moments like this that I will remember forever.
My favorite fountain in the whole world!

At a Rooftop Bar in Charleston-- very neat place!
Next on my summer festivities was my birthday party! My parents were down in SC for the WHOLE summer!! I loved having them here and hope they will be back soon! My dad fixed frogmore stew- one of my favorites! My Aunt Lisa and cousin Kristen and her boyfriend came down from NC to celebrate with me! I love them very much and I was glad they were able to come. Also, my boyfriend was in town so he was able to come as well as my two very best friends, Kasey and Ashley. I had a WONDERFUL night and was reminded how blessed I am to have the life I do. I have the BEST friends and family in the world.

The Saturday before my party- My parents, me, and Kasey went to Elberton (about an hour away from our house) to watch the Swingin' Medallions play a show. My parents had never seen them and really wanted to see Josh in action before they left to head home to Kansas. Despite a downpour and thunderstorm on the way to Elberton, the weather cleared up and we had a great time!

To celebrate my actual Birthday, which was on a Sunday, I went to Greenville to watch a Greenville Drive baseball game with Josh, Kasey, Matt, and Kasey's friend Jeff. We had a ball at the game and then afterwards went Downtown to a local Sushi place and then went to a little bar and played some pool and darts! I do believe this was one of my best birthdays, ever.

Things slowed down a lot after my Birthday. My parents are back in Kansas and I've continued to work. I am going to take off some time from work tomorrow to help my sister get her classroom organized for the start of school. I'll try to write another post if anything else exciting happens in my life. ;)
