It's been a long time . . . (again)

Well, I had good intentions about being more attentive to my blog! Guess that didn't work out too well, though. Things have been really crazy around here!

Alec and I had a great July 4th weekend! We went to see fireworks and a concert on Friday night. On Saturday, we went and met up with some friends in the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma. We went on a great hike and had a fun dinner (more about that later).

That Sunday, I went to Tulsa for a week to do some training at the office. It was fun to see all my co-workers and some of our friends. I got to eat at a bunch of places that we don't have here, which was a treat! I sent Alec pictures of my food from a couple of the places he likes. I guess it was kinda mean, but I sure thought it was funny!

Since I had to go to Tulsa, I postponed the cake decorating class until August. I didn't want to miss the first class! Luckily, they had another session scheduled so I was able to transfer into that.

I got back, and 3 days later my mom came to stay! It was wonderful to see her! Alec and I drove to the city to pick her up. We planned to go to a museum, but we shopped instead. So much for culture. I had great plans to show mom all around town, but we ended up mostly sticking around the house! Saturday, we took her to the Wichita Mountains and tried to do a hike to an old mine, but the trail wasn't very well defined so we turned back. Alec got poison oak, so he's pretty miserable. Mom helped me start a t-shirt quilt made from old shirts from my high school and college days. Other than that, we didn't do much at all. But, it was still fun!

Mom left today so life is back to normal. Maybe I really will get back into the swing of blogging!
