Summer 2009

Since I didn't blog all summer, I thought I would just do a summary of some of the things we did this summer after going on our cruise.

Before heading back up to Tennessee after our cruise, we drove down to Ft. Lauderdale to visit Rich and DawnChere' Wilkerson...friends from college.

We also met up with Steve and Jessica Houston, who are friends from Charlottesville...but they just moved down to Miami this summer.

Settled back in Tennessee, I learned how to do some pickling with Nana.

Celebrated the 4th of July on the Hiwassee River.

On July 10th, got together with old college girl friends...we had ourselves an old fashioned slumber party at Mallory's old house in Ooltewah, TN.

Spent the day at my in-law's pool in Charleston, TN.

On July 29th-30th, David took the TN Bar Exam in Knoxville, TN.

We came up to surprise him after he was finished...it was a long two days for him....we find out on October 16th whether or not he passed.

David driving the tractor down to The Carroll's house to cut some grass...welcome back to the country!

Celebrated Robin's birthday on August 4th!

My mommy came up to visit for the weekend...took her on a boat ride up the Hiwassee.

Did some gardening.
And learned to cook a couple of my favorite filipino dishes, Menudo and Pansit.David and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on August 11th.

So in love with this man!

Two of our favorite people from Charlottesville, Pam and Carter, came to visit us on their way back to San Diego...Pam just graduated from UVA Law with David.

Celebrated Lorraine's, one of my little cousins, 18th birthday on September 4th (her bday is Sept. 2nd).

Celebrated my 27th birthday on 9-9-09.

Watched UCLA beat the TN Vols :( But it is a fun start to the Fall.
