July in the Quillon home

I know I say this time and time again... but time seems to be moving by too quickly for my taste. Can you believe July is 2 days away from being over? That means that August is 2 days away from knocking on my front door. To me, August is the month when Summer flirts with the idea of tucking itself away until next year and fall flirts with the idea of making it grand arrival. Although the heat has been INSANE this summer, I dread the idea of winter. Fall is a peaceful time for me. Peopel start thinking about their turtlenecks, sweatpants and hot chocolate. It's a slower time. Fall also means my birthday (Sept 1) at which time I will be turning the great 28. Not quite sure how great it actually is... but it's coming regardless if I am ready for it or not.

Paul and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary of July 9th and it was such a great day. We drove to Short Pump, VA for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and totally stuffed ourselves with amazing food. Then we went grocery shopping and came home and relaxed at home for the rest of the evening. We also exchanged gifts. I got Paul a Fossil watch and he got me a Kitchen Aid stand mixer. It's red and beautiful :) I was shocked when I saw it and I could not have asked for a better gift. He out-did himself!

Harley's doing great :) We have discovered a few fun things about him this month! He is freaked out by our new yellow exercise ball that we just purchased. He has decided he loves cupcakes.... we do NOT allow him to eat cupcakes. I was laying on the couch and reached over for my cupcake. I picked it up and he jumped on my cupcake and bit the frosting. I could not even be mad b/c it was soooo cute! He loves our eveing run. I know he likes it a lot more then me!

Not much else is going on in our life. We went grocery shopping the other day for the first time in about 3 weeks. We were about to starve to death :) Everything is good in this Quillon home :) We hope all is well with everyone who reads this!
