Well, the summer is almost over! It's been such a wonderful time, and it's (kinda) sad to see it go. I guess it's on to bigger and better things now! Here's a little rundown of Zac and my summer of love....
We start in early May...Jena's college graduation. It was bittersweet, as it ended my 5 years in Aggieland.
Highlight for the summer....for sure. We took a trip down the aisle, and was no doubt the most wonderful night of our lives. It was incredible to share that time with our friends and family. I would do it over every weekend if I could. Afterwards, we both went to our first home in Jacksonville, NC, and spent the next weekend at Myrtle Beach for our "Mini-moon."
[Side note: Because Zac and I did not have a typical honeymoon, we decided any special time together was going to be a different "moon." Several more to follow...]
Due to a lost camera, the next couple month's worth of pictures are non existent. However, we thoroughly enjoyed the peak summer months with pool time, beach time, grill outs, and just loving life!
The Cook family came to visit in late July, where we had some fun family time, and I got to celebrate my 23rd birthday with everyone! This is my b-day dinner at the Melting Pot.
Our day at the beach: Zac in his homemade lounge chair.
Delicious Ben and Jerry's birthday cake after dinner at Marina Cafe.
The next day was the end of the Cook trip and the beginning of our "Flu-moon." Zac came down with something, went to the doctor, and was told he had the swine flu. We still don't know if he really did, but it gave him a week off of work, and an early start to Texas for Blake and Kristan's wedding!
August flew by, but definitely a highlight was a rendezvous in Wilmington, NC with Kelley and friends. We ate on the water at Elijah's (my first highly enjoyable encounter with oysters), and enjoyed a great outdoor concert.
We returned to Wilmington the next weekend for Labor Day. We started with a wine tasting at World Market (they have one every Saturday afternoon!) and then headed to the park for a wine picnic.
And we returned to Elijah's for some more oysters. We also semi-crashed the wedding at the restaurant next door.
What a ham!
And, finally, we enjoyed one of our last North Carolina weekends at a beautiful B&B in downtown Wilmington, the Graystone Inn. One of our most relaxing "moons," the "Labor-moon" (?) was a great way to close out our summer and time in NC.
