summertime in ohio

ohio: july 2008

while it kept getting hotter in texas this past week, matt and i stayed cool in ohio where the temp hovered around the mid-to-low-eighties during the day. we went back to visit his family and celebrate two big events: his sister-in-law's first pregnancy and grandpa geuy's 75th birthday! we were gone from july 23rd to the 28th and it was a welcome break from work, school, and the heat! the trip started off in typical whirlwind fashion, with me working the preceeding 4 days, then staying up after my tuesday night shift to attend a certification class all day wednesday. i got home around 4pm, showered, packed and hopped in my mom's car so she could drop us at the airport in time for our 8:15pm flight. fortunately, and unlike last time, we had no delays and had a great flight into columbus. we were met at the airport by my in-laws, pat & david, who were kind enough to, yet again, let us take over part of their house for the week. thanks guys!
we stayed pretty busy:
wednesday: fly in to columbus, ohio
thursday: recover and sleep! (until 5pm), have dinner with matt's dad, steven, & his fiance, jacquie
friday: matt played soccer with miah, while i spent time with heather and pat, we finished the decorations for the baby shower the next day (see the diaper cake pics!). meet the whole bonas family and have a slumber party with my new cousins becca and katie!
saturday: baby shower in dublin, ohio (an all day event including drive time, set up, take down...)
sunday: grandpa's surprise party!
monday: lunch with the family, then back to dfw and >100 degree weather :(

thanks again to everyone who made us feel so welcome, and for welcoming me into your family so openly. we had a great time, and we can't wait to see everyone again at thanksgiving!
