Summer 2013 In Review

Summer is coming to a close and, as usual, it is bittersweet to be returning to India (although we’ve been back for a month and half now).  It is always hard to leave friends and family (and clean air, toilets, and delicious food...) in the good ‘ole US of A.  But, of course, it is great to see all of our friends in India and our cat, Danni.  I really miss her sleeping on my face every night.  Isaac’s hair isn’t even close to as soft!  Sorry, dear.  

As we leave, I decided to write a blog about our summer adventures because as my sister says “Do you EVER write a blog post?”.  YES, Katie, I friggin write!  I just need to be harassed just enough for me to break down and get it done.  So thank you for being just annoying enough.  :)

This summer we had a few great adventures:

1. We visited Greece with Melissa and Jeff!  (See blog posts by Isaac)

2. We came to Texas and did the usual: Ate BBQ and Tex-Mex, talked about Obamacare with conservatives, and “enjoyed” the heat.  It was fun.  :)

Skye loves matching Isaac and Tom!  Seriously, what's up with the red shirts, fellas?  I guess it's because it masks blood stains?  

Nice crotch shot, Matt.

3. Went to Drew and Maki’s wedding in Pennsylvania.  T’was great fun!   We also got to explore Philly with Ben Raily!

This is the only pic we have with Drew and Maki actually in it.  I guess Isaac's career as a wedding photographer will have to be put on hold for a while.  Can you find them?

Is it a boy or a girl?  It's Pat's!  

I got mine with provolone instead of cheez wiz.  Big mistake!  BIG!  HUGE!  (movie reference?)

4. Saw Erin Daniels in Boston. It was great to hang out with her for a few days and mooch off of her hospitality. Thanks Erin! She also tolerated me forcing her to go on morning runs AND take jumping pictures:

Haaaavad

Happy Birthday, America!

Don't fly away, Erin.

5. Finally got to see my parent’s new diggs in Madison.  Of course, I have no pictures of the place but it was pretty nice.  Madison’s a great town and we look forward to spending more time there next summer. We also got to meet up with our friends from Korea, Ryan, Jolene and Jayden.

6. Took sailing lessons!  Yes, Isaac and I are now officially sailors!  Feel free to give us any extra sailboats you have lying around.  Preferably something over 20 ft.  :)  See photo evidence of our sailing abilities (or picture posing abilities) below:

7. Visited Milwaukee.  Believe it or not, this was my first time to Milwaukee, despite it only being about 1 ½ hours from Chicago.  It was a pretty cool place.

8. Stayed with Katie in Chicago AND a lake house in Wisconsin.  It was a really great time and I think the most one-on-one time we’ve had in 7 years!

Justin Strickland, super-friend and whatever the opposite of an agoraphobe is came to hang out with us in Chicago for the weekend.

9. Got together with the ENTIRE CURREY FAMILY!  This was the first time in 4 years that all of the Currey bros and spouses got together.  Most public places cannot contain that level of Currey but some bbq place in Fort Worth with dead stuffed bears all over was able to accommodate everyone.  We also learned of Isaac’s brother Joel’s engagement to the amazing Morgan Hester!  I’m so excited to welcome her into the family as she appreciates my sense of humor (mostly involving bodily functions and general inappropriateness).  I can’t wait to make a special unrequested speech at her wedding!  Just kidding, Morgan........kinda.......

10. And finally, the most exciting thing we did this summer was.......go to the doctor!  Yes, it was pretty exciting for us because Isaac and I are going to have a baby.  Yes, we will finally be forced to be somewhat responsible adults.  Yes, Dad, REALLY.  

We will post pictures of our journey (and my growth) along the way.  Please feel free to disregard these posts if you get annoyed at looking at strategically placed nude pregnant pictures of Isaac and I like:

And now here are some pics of Danni in her new fave sleeping spot and in a onesie: (yes I need help)
