Chris and I have some major plans this summer.  It started with our reception a few weeks ago.  Memorial Day saw us putting some finishing touches on our Kitchen Remodel.  We really only have to repaint our cabinet doors and install the baseboard, and we're done!  Last weekend was my birthday, which had us busy, busy, busy!  And this weekend, we're going to Charleston, South Carolina for a friend's wedding.  I think next weekend, I can breathe.  During the time between our reception and now, I finished a pair of socks:

Speaking of my camera, for my birthday Chris bought me a very nice 50mm lens.  I had signed up for a photography course at the local University, but vacation plans for the summer got in the way, and sadly, I won't be taking it.  But the lens was already purchased before I dropped the class.  I love it, but the weather here in Ohio has been... sketchy.  It is either raining or humid, and the sun don't shine (though as I type this sentence, it looks like its gorgeous outside!).  I haven't had a chance to really take any pictures with the new lens on my camera in good lighting.  I do have a few pictures, but haven't processed them yet.  They don't look great on my camera, but that doesn't mean anything.

I am thinking of continuing my busy summer by signing up for a different photography workshop, this one geared toward fiber artists.  It is a weekend workshop in Versailles, KY with Gail Zucker.  I hate to leave my husband with the dogs alone for a weekend, so I haven't signed up for the workshop yet.  I'm still thinking.  Anyone want to convince me that its necessary for me to go?

July 17 will see Chris and I heading down to South Carolina a second time, only this time, we'll be heading to vacation spot extraordinaire - Myrtle Beach.  The vacation spot wasn't my choice.  Every year, Chris's ENTIRE family goes down there.  This year, our work schedules allow us to go, too.  It should be a good time, even though it is SO CROWDED down there.  I'll just forget about the crowds and have a good time.  I survived Las Vegas, twice!  Myrtle Beach will be a breeze.  Besides, there's a ton of liquor left over from our reception, along with LOTS of margarita mix.  We'll just have the party suite, and will be fine!
