After being 'laid off' from my job in July I decided to take the rest of the summer off to rest and relax.
The day I was let go was actually perfect timing because we had our friend Kevin coming into town for the weekend. He too was let go from work a few weeks prior. We spent the whole weekend hanging out, going to a show, and drinking..... a lot of drinking. It was great of fun.
I spent the rest of August working on my tan and working on some sewing projects that got pushed off.
I spent the month of September traveling around this great country visiting friends and family. Friends and family also came to visit Gordon and I. It was a non-stop whirl wind. I missed Gordon madly when I was gone.
Here's a few pictures of all my travels:
I started my month by going to visit my dear friend Maria in Austin. Maria and her husband Dan had just had their first baby. Sweet little Lyla Grace only 1month old in this picture.
When I got back in town we went to our wonderful new friend's, Ben and Courtney, wedding. We had a blast! We love them so much!!!
My mom and grandparents drove into town the night of the wedding. We did some Philly sight seeing then I jointed them and we took off for New York, Michigan, and finally sweet home Chicago, IL.
We made it home for my brother's 23rd birthday and my grandfather's 75th birthday. This is the first 'family' photo we have taken in over 15 years.
A few days after I got back Gordon's sister Stacey came to visit. We did more Philly sight seeing, this time we got to check out Eastern State Penitentiary(very cool).
