Where Did July Go....

I feel like I blink and another month has gone by. But I'm kind of excited that July is about to be over with because we have so much to look forward to in August. My 25th Birthday (even though I'm not too excited about this birthday), Our 1 Year Anniversary, Christen and Colby's Wedding, and Will and Maggie's Wedding. It’s going to be one crazy month but totally worth it.

So July was a great month. We didn't have a whole lot going on but it was still a good one. Over 4th of July Weekend we went to Ohio/West Virginia to visit friends and family, and for the Davis Family Reunion. We left very very early on Friday morning and made it to Bridgeport, WV around lunch time. We stayed at the Frenzel's that night; they are Ryan's Parents Best Friends. We went out to the lake with them and their family and had a great time. We hadn't been to the lake in forever so it was a very nice treat and a great way to wind down after being in the car for almost 10 hours. Saturday we headed to Belpre, OH, where Ryan's grandmother lives. We got there around lunch and just enjoyed to rest of the day lying by the pool. it was very nice not having anything to do. Sunday, the 4th of July, was the day of the Family Reunion. It was great to see all of Ryan's family again because the last time we saw them was at our wedding and that was a world wind and we really didn't to get to talk to everyone like we would have wanted too. We spent pretty much the whole day in and around the pool. It was a lot of fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Monday we made the long trek back to Atlanta.

On July 17th, me and a few of my girl friends threw a baby shower for Julia. Thank goodness we threw it that weekend, because little did we know that she would be 2 1/2 weeks early and go into labor the next weekend. It was a great shower. We had lunch, played a few games, open an extreme amount of presents, and had some amazing cake. It was a wonderful shower and Julia and Matt got so many amazing things for Baby Ben.

Julia went into labor Friday, July 23, and Benjamin Luke Byron was born July 24th, 2010 at 2:36pm. 6 lbs. 3oz. and 19" long. He is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. I was so honored to be able to be there on the day of his birth. He is truly a gift from God. Mom, Dad, and Baby Ben are all doing wonderful at home and are getting into the swing of their new life together. Love you 3 very very much.

So precious in the UT Hat I gave him!!!
