My 100th Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...I only know that because when I go to write a new post, it just told me I had 99 previously.  Who's counting?

I don't feel like explaining what's been going on in our lives lately because honestly I can barely remember what I did yesterday.  I just know that we've been busy, Paige is a married woman, I have the cutest niece and goddaughter in the world, and we unfortunately lost Ryan's Grandma from a heart attack.

Ryan's Grandma Marks had a heart attack Friday and they unfortunately weren't able to bring her back to life at the hospital.  I had the chance to get to know Grandma Marks better when we were back in TN for a bit.  I wish I had more time with her, but I can say that she raised great sons, had a genuine heart, and was SO proud of Ryan's work overseas.  Her service was on Tuesday and we weren't able to make it because of the drive to TN being such a long drive and it being our anniversary.  We were thinking of our family in TN all day and wish peace for everyone who knew her.  We love you, Grandma Marks!

On a brighter note, here are a few pictures for ya:

Because our loft is all inclusive, we like to turn the air down to 69 or 70 at night and snuggle up in our warm comforter knowing we won't see an electric bill. (When I say snuggle, I mean snuggle with Zoe because we all know Ryan and I don't touch in bed).  I forgot to turn it back up in the morning, so when I came home from work I found Zoe like this.  Oops.

Chris, Emily & Rena came into town one weekend, and we got to spend a little time with them.  Rena was not in the mood for a picture :)  Love her! 

The beautiful Bachelorette sporting her 'stache. 

The only pic I took on Paige's wedding day!! Getting her make up done! 

Flash mob at Ryan's company picnic!! SO COOL! Ryan had to hold me back from joining them.  

The front page of the Richmond Times Dispatch the day before we started house hunting.  How convenient.

My beautiful Goddaughter, Riley.  I babysat and she's obsessed with her belly button right now :)  LOVE! 

She's going to break a lot of boy's hearts when she's older. 

Elliot suckered me into giving her a cupcake before dinner.  Don't tell mommy :)

I tried to save some of the cotton candy balls from the bouquet Ryan made for our anniversary.  Apparently this is what happens to them when you put them in an air tight container. 

And that's about all I have for you, folks.  Ryan and I celebrated our blissful 2 years of marriage together at Bookbinder's last night.  I asked him what he wants most for our 3rd year of marriage and his response was "to get an awesome job and get deployed again".  Mine was "buy a house and start popping out babies".  So glad we're on the same page. ;)  Food was AWESOME, service was okay.  We had fun, and I find myself everyday thinking how lucky I was to find such a good catch.  Love you, darlin! 

Busy Busy!

This post is probably going to be uber boring because I'm telling you right now I'm too lazy to upload a bunch of pics on here.  If you want to see pictures, go to my Facebook page. :)

This month is just flying by!  Work is in full swing and it's been keeping me really busy.  When I'm not doin' mah thang at work, something else has been going on!  I wonder if I'm just having a difficult time getting used to having a social life again?

Paige is getting married NEXT WEEKEND, so we've had the festivities for her.  I think she really liked the bridal shower that Laura and I threw for her and Jason did a great job answering the questions we had for him.  Her bachelorette was two weekends after that and, of course, it was a blast.  We went to Godfrey's, which is a drag show in Richmond.  It was my first and we were all lovin' it.  The night ended with a drunk bride and pizza, so I'd say it was successful.

Ashley also had her baby shower!  Baby Norah is due to arrive at the end of August and I can't wait to meet  the little Hud!  They got some awesome stuff and I know Ash was so thankful so many of Norah's aunties were able to make it to the shower. :)  I posted pics on Facebook! Ryan and I's gift was of course her favorite. ;)

We drove to Tennessee last weekend to celebrate Ryan's grandma and grandpa getting married.  They got married at Ryan's parents house and the night was perfect.  Grandma Bev put so much thought into everything and we had SO. MUCH. FUN. dancing with Charlotte and Isabella.  My two favorite moments of the night:

1- Isabella challenging Grandpa Ron to do a headstand.  Who knew he could actually do one, much less hold it for a good 30 seconds.  He did this twice just to prove us young folk how inflexible(??is that the word I' ml looking for??) we are.  After Ron did the headstand the second time, Isabella went up to everyone and just said so nonchalantly, "And that's how it's done."  LOVE!

2 - Alysa and Charlotte were dancing when the beat of the song dies down.  Charlotte freezes so Alysa immediately thinks she needs to potty.  3 seconds later the beat starts up and Charlotte immediately starts shaking and flailing her arms like nothing just happened.  Wish I had video!

As if these last few weeks haven't been crazy enough, I'm flying out of Richmond tomorrow morning for a week of work in New Jersey.  I'm excited to see the dirty Jerz since I've never been, but I know it's going to be an exhausting week!  My flight gets in at 6:30 on Friday which means it's straight from the airport to the rehearsal dinner (missing the rehearsal :( ). Sleepover with the bride on Friday, Paige gets married on Saturday, and then Ryan has a company picnic on Sunday. 




SHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEE.  


By the way, Ryan and I have to tell the apartment complex what we plan to do with our apartment by this Friday.  Our lease is up in October.  We have no clue what we're going to do and have approximately 5 days to figure it out.  Coooool. We'll figure it out eventually, just like we always do!  In 16 days we'll be married for two years.  Craziness.
