Wrapping Up Summer part 1.

Im sad to see that my last post has been more than 5 months ago... WOW. Doesn't seem like I've neglected my blog for that long! But looking back over those 5 short months, so much has happened.

This summer I've been working at a Pediatric dental office 3 to 4 days a week (it's harder than it sounds) in Edmond.  I love working with kids everyday and I think someday I might want some of my own.  They are too stinkin cute! One nice thing about working there this summer is that I got 2 weeks off for summer vaca. It was seriously the best 2 weeks of staycation I've ever spent in Oklahoma.

Monday night I drove to Inola and stayed with the rentals. I got to have lunch with my mom and grandpa and then hang out with him for a while. After I left his house in Jenks, I stopping at an antique mall and bought a legit floppy hat for $12. Then I spent time with April and my 3 favorite children in the world.. that is always entertaining! Dinner with my sweet Great Aunt Mary and Nina, which was lovely because she is a hoot and we talked about everything from outdoor weddings in oklahoma to her college and early married days in California. The next evening my mom and I went and looked at a venue for a possible wedding in the future, which I happened to really love. :) That night and next day I visited my best friends from high school, Amanda and Keahna, where we reminisced and caught up on life. I also spent the night at my sisters place and got to hang out with her and Mark and their 3 dogs. It was really great. So after 5 fabulous days in Tulsa, Nathan and I headed see my dad, Aunt Connie and the Bills at their house on lake Eufala. That was filled with lots of food, hot tubbing, lake time, and convo.

When the boy and I left Eufala, it was the beginning of special surprise trip for the weekend. He took me all over Tulsa to places like the Philbrook museum, Tulsa performing arts center, dinner, movies, and then to hobby lobby to let me pick out some new art supplies. It was a very thoughtful and romantic trip. He spoiled me rotten, and I love him.

The second week back in the city was filled with sleeping, eating, relaxing, laying out, sleeping, and not having a care in the world. It was amazing.

So no I haven't been to any beaches this summer, but I've spent lots of quality time with the people I love the most. So wow, thats just a preview of my summer so far! Lots to catch everyone up on!

What has been special about your summer? Have you gotten to spend time with friends and family?
