If we stuck to the original plan, July would have been another "Focus on Self" month. When I took a look at my upcoming schedule of events for the month, I had to swap focuses. So, July 2013 was a "Focus on Relationships" month for me.
The month started off with me being married. w00t! It was awesome. We spent the first of day of July together. Will and I both took Monday off of work...which makes sense to me. Sunday we had a big garden party lunch with both sides of the family. So fun! Half of the family left Sunday and the other half left Monday. Since we'd been around so many people and been going non-stop for a couple of weeks, we decided to have a WAM day-married edition :) It was great! We slept in, which is always nice. Then we headed out for a day of fun….it was also really hot that day, so we were seeking AC! We had a lot of gift certificates, so what better than to head to Bed Bath and Beyond and spend money. The funny thing was that we bought a lot of big stuff and my car is only so big that Will had to sit in the back underneath all of our goods. Needless to say, I laughed the entire ride home.
After that we used another gift card we had for lunch at the Alehouse. Awww sweet bliss. Our favoritest place in Moscow. We enjoyed a yummy lunch and then headed to Pullman to use another gift certificate for the movies. You know what I like better than going to the movies is going to a free movie! We ended up eating dinner out too just to enjoy our WAM day and we still had gift certificates and money to spend. We soaked up the AC as much as possible and we had a good time together.
Two weeks after we got married, I worked an 80 hour work week. Never done that. Don't want to do it again. However, I did spend my week doing some pretty cool stuff. The week of July 7-13th was our college's Summer Design Week program. It's a summer camp for high school kids and they get to do some college level design work and have fun in Moscow. Plus, it's a good recruitment tool for us. I spent a majority of my evenings with these fine folks. It was no fun to be away from my new husband every single night, but I did have a blast with these three.
We ended each night by sitting around talking about the shinanigans that took place during the day. We made wookie noises, told hilarious stories about kids we weren't fond of, rode the Vandal trolley, almost punched people, carried torches, told stories of our childhoods, made jokes about everything and everyone, we laughed our heads off! These three, Lexi, Rachel and Michael are all awesome individuals! It was a great week and I know I couldn't have made it through the week without them.
The next big focus of July was WAM honeymoon. I could write a whole post dedicated to just that, but I won’t. This was our first true WAM only vacation. Kind of hard to believe, but it’s true. Lucky for us, we travel very well together. We are on the same page and vacation to me has the same meaning as it does to Will. No agenda. Sleep in. Do whatever you want! So that we did! We had a great time on the Oregon coast and can’t wait to go back. We hiked. We drank. We ate. We enjoyed some awesome seafood. We got wet on a whale watching boat. We saw wildlife. We went to two hippie concerts. We slept in. We lounged. We hot tubbed. We swam. We chased bigfoot. We saw a wedding. We drove 1,100+ miles. We saw Multnomah Falls. We made friends in Oregon. We got free stuff. We had a great time together. I really do love that guy and spending a week and a half with just he and I was beyond awesome.
July was a great month. I had a blast and laughed harder than I had in a long time!
