Busy Bees

There's been so much going on since my last post, which is why I haven't been able to update (that, and I might have been a tad lazy about it...). Here's a recap of our lives for the last two months:

1. I got a new job! The day after we got back from the 55th Fighter Group Reunion, I began my new journey as one of three Associate Directors of Area Development for Alpha Xi Delta. I'm loving it! In June, I spent 6 days in Atlanta and 6 days in DC, and it was so great to be back in the land of Alpha Xi Delta. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!

2. Juliana turned two! I got to spend her birthday weekend with everyone in Little Rock, and had so much fun at her birthday party. I'm also excited to say that she's graduated from calling me "TiTi" to "Aunt Tourtney"! So cute! She can also say "Uncle David" and loves to call Charlotte "Binks"! She's growing up too fast!

3. David and I spent the 4th of July in Missouri for our annual family reunion and celebration of Meredith's birthday. We had over 100 people at the reunion! It was so fun to see everyone, eat fresh farm veggies, and indulge in homemade ice cream. The funniest part of that weekend was probably when Mom, Meredith, and I decided to grill pizzas on the grill. While they turned out amazing, there was a some fire action involved with paper towels and tongs...

4. Mom and Meredith came for a girls weekend in early July. We shopped til we dropped and visited local Austin restaurants. David was in town, so he met us out for meals, and laughed at us as we carried in all our packages!

5. Our good friends, Laura and Chris, got married last weekend. It was such a fun wedding weekend with a small ceremony on Friday and beautiful reception on Saturday. Best wishes to the happy couple!

6. We've officially been in our house for a year! Times flies when you're having fun! We've spent the last two weeks having various people come out to do some minor repairs before our warranty ran out.

And life isn't slowing down for us yet! Here's what we have to look forward to:

1. Mom and Dad will be stopping by to visit for a couple of days in August.
2. We'll be in San Antonio for Holly's baby shower (it's a girl!)
3. I'll be busy with work as recruitment season approaches!

And the biggest thing we have to look forward too...

OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! So excited to celebrate, but can't believe we won't be "newlyweds" anymore. I asked David if we could do it all over again (including Hawaii), and you can probably guess what the answer is (hehe). We are currently planning a nice staycation in Austin, though, to celebrate!

More to come from the Fluty family...who knows when though!
