August 2008

August has been quite a sticky month! Although the weather was considered, "unusually cool," I still felt the affects of the humidity, especially walking to work. I learned quickly to pull back my hair (yes, the humidity does HORRIBLE things to your hair) and not to bother spending any real time getting pretty. The minute you walk out the door into the outside world, you start glistening (girls don't sweat). I have no reason to complain though..... Poor Bob had to walk to and from work with a full suite on!!! Yep, a long sleeve shirt, jacket, pants, & tie... The whole bit! Thankfully, it was only about a week out of the month where it was unbearable.

August was quite a laid back month for Bob and I. After a long week at work for the both of us, our favorite thing to do was to sleep in and be couch potatoes all weekend long. Our Friday "date night" consisted of Chipotle and a movie, which we definitely looked forward to together!

At the end of August, the whole Charles family vacationed in San Diego for a full week. It was the first time we had all been together since the wedding, 7 months ago. IT WAS THE BEST VACATION filled with relaxation, body surfing in the ocean, naps, food, playing with nieces & nephews, etc.... Life was PERFECT for a week :) An escape from work for awhile was just what was needed! It's always hard to come back after such a nice time with family! Until next year........

Not much else in the month of August. Wow, the next time we'll be back on that side of the country (southwest) will be for Christmas.... Can't wait!!!
