August 2008

Here I am finding myself blogging about the entire month because I haven't had time to write. So here goes...

August was another busy month - by choice... but I must say I'm totally exhausted and will NOT be traveling again for a long time. Well, maybe to my sisters house in SC this coming weekend and for a weekend getaway with Dominic in September for our anniversary...but after that, I'm done.

Giana and I were in Ohio for 10 days this month. We left on 8/13 and returned home on 8/23. We had a great visit and did a lot of fun things. We kicked off our trip with my in laws in Solon for the first few days. We celebrated my birthday on the 13th (I'm 24 if anyone is wondering - LOL!!!), went to the park, fed the ducks, celebrated Mary's birthday at the feast in Cleveland on the 15th. They had rides, a parade, games, food (you gotta love fair food!) and Giana loved every minute of it. We then went to Westerville and spent a week with my Mom. My friend Erin, baptized her little boy (Caeden) and we spent most of Sunday with them. Caeden is my Godson and he was so cute! He cried during the entire ceremony but it was still a great day! We spent the remainder of the week with my mom. More park visits and shopping. We ended the week with a trip to the Columbus Zoo. It was so much fun. We all enjoyed it. Here's a plug for the Columbus Zoo (just in case anyone is ever in Columbus, Ohio) - it was awesome!! We flew home on Saturday morning - very early. I was feeding Giana M&M's at 6:45 am so that she wouldn't scream in the airport. (What a Mom!) Dominic picked us up from the airport and we went to breakfast. He was so happy to see us. (Let me clarify "us": Giana first, then me. lol!) The poor guy has been alone this summer since we've been traveling to see family so much. Thanks baby...I promise we're done with our trips for a while!

I'm happy to be home. Giana is too. We missed Dominic and our day to day life here. September is shaping up to be a fun month for us. There is plenty of FUN in the weeks ahead...Elmo at Phillips arena, Giana's 2nd birthday party and family coming to town!
