Grampy turns 90!

we celebrated quite a milestone this weekend as Brett's grandfather turned 90!  the family gathered in Vermont at Don and Dinah's cabin for the festivities

we had games, scavenger hunts and lots of good food!  and I made us some snazzy t-shirts (printed by custom ink- they are awesome!!)

Mr & Mrs Russell :)

this weekend I attended the fabulous wedding of Adam & Krystal...many happy years for these two!!

"inconceivable!"

Thursday nights over the summer, on Federal Hill they play movies on the side of the American Visionary Museum...and this week, The Princess Bride!!  Kristen and I went to watch with quite a crowd of people...there are so many fun, and free things to do in Baltimore!!

Baltimore Bucket List

our friend Sarah is moving down near DC, so before she moves, we are trying to complete her Baltimore Bucket list...and Duckpin Bowling is just one of those activities...

here's the crew at Patterson Lanes

Krysal's getting married!!

all the ladies gathered to celebrate Krystal's last few 'single' nights!  we had dinner at the National Harbor, and went to a piano bar- a preview of their wedding entertainment! 

all the girls also sported lavender glitter rings...her wedding party colors!

congrats girl!  can't wait for the big day :)

busy busy July!

I got to take a week off from school and work to spend at home with the family...it was relaxing, but also jam packed with fun events! 

the week kicked off with my Dad's retirement party, after 37 years at his job he's finally free to golf as much as he wants :)

then we had our annual July 4th BBQ, which also coincides with Dad's birthday

then I had to go back to reality...but exciting new jobs are on the horizon...hooray!
