Isn’t time strange?  It feels like the summer is absolutely flying by, but yet I also feel like so much happened in July.  Either way, August is here, and time is marching forward as it must.

Let’s recap July with some favorite, or most interesting posts.

Community:  talking about my friends who were in an awful car accident (and still in critical condition).  Visit the website about Andrew and Alicia here.

I open at the close:  Harry Potter fans know what I’m talking about.

Introduce Yourself:  I ask my readers to let me know who they are (and I’m still curious, please comment there or here if you like.)

Avec:  Love this restaurant, had a great time in Chicago with my friend Karen.

Will write for wine:  I attended a blogger’s get together to learn about one of my favorite things, wine.  And I wrote.

Sightseeing in my own city:  My parents finally visited St Louis and we went all over town.

My save the date cards:  LOVE them!  LOVE LOVE LOVE.  I am such a stationery freak.

Fourth of July Party:  We had a barbecue with our friends, so fun.

Fourth of July Race:  My first 10k!

Those are the blog highlights from the month.  Plus we did all kinds of wedding planning and (most importantly) I bought my dress.  No, you can’t see it.  You can see this one though.

And a few more pictures, enjoy:

 

 

 

I think that pretty much sums up my month.  Honestly it appears that all I did was drink wine and go out with friends.

Hmm.  Then again…still losing weight!  Do I make today a rest day or go to the gym?  Heat index is already 100 degrees, so I think outside would be insanity.

How was your July?  Are you glad it’s August?  Did you laugh, cry, and learn a little bit about yourself?  I sure did!
