Whirlwind July

July has been a complete whirlwind for me!  Lots of exciting and fun things have been occupying my time these past couple of weeks though!  You'll see lots of race recaps, a few broadway show reviews, and general fun summer happenings in the coming weeks, but for now I'll just give you a snapshot of the fun that has ensued...

Chris and I celebrated having merely 100 days left until our wedding by going out to dinner at one of our favorite Italian spots in Hell's Kitchen.  We also managed to book our honeymoon, secure nearly all the vendors (still sorting out the make up artist), and get our invites sent out!  YAY!!

With 99 days left until the wedding, I left Chris for a week as I headed off to Indianapolis for a business trip.  It wasn't just any business trip though.  It was our National 7-on-7 Tournament and National Lineman Challenge.  It was a very long and busy week, but it was full of excitement this year as my whole family was in town for the week as well. 

My brothers love working the tournament every year!

We had a great time celebrating Landon's birthday on the 14th and then mine toward the end of the week before we all headed back to our respective cities.  Brinley even gave me an official name - I am now Aunt Otter.  They are both adorable and I loved spending so much time with them!

After the tournament I dashed back to NYC in order to pick up Chris and my bridesmaid dress before we ventured down to Florida for Ashley Gail and Parker's nuptials on the beach. 

I'll be posting all about their wedding and the bridesmaid fun soon, but before we left the Sunshine State Chris and I managed a couple rounds of mini-golf.  I won both times :)

So...you should now consider yourself updated.  And informed...it's my birthday eve for all those interested in showering me with wishes and gifts and possibly cupcakes tomorrow :)

Has July been a whirlwind for you??
