Florence Florence...if only you were Italy!

I'm happy to report that since her surgery, Kasey is doing much, much better!!!

This weekend Saturday was filled with cleaning, working (for Phillip), picking up junior bridesmaid dresses, shopping with Kasey, and then a trip to Florence. Whenever we go to Florence it usually ends up being a whirlwind day...yesterday was no different. We love seeing family and friends!!! We also met with the wedding planner at the church. Time's a tickin'! Just 75 days to go. Wow!!!

The Chaos Ensues

The week did it for us. It all started with Monday's trip, which worked out quite nicely. Then rolled along Tuesday, which ultimately ended with Kristin putting in her notice at the non-profit. The rest of the week seemed to be filtering out well until Friday.

The morning begins with a phone call from Kristin's sister, she needs the number to the doctor. We later find out that Kasey has gone to the emergency room at the doctor's request. She has an emergency appendectomy Friday night. After spending most of the weekend in the hospital with Kasey and the rest of the family, she gets released.

Now for the road to recovery...

Don't Worry...Be Happy Now!

Since we both had the day off, Phillip and I decided to head to Table Rock Park to do a bit of hiking and canoeing. All in all it was a successful day, neither of us tipped the canoe, broke a bone, or passed out from the humidity. One of our favorite parts were the cool life jackets (see Phillip above - SO HOT). I only fell twice, once due to my own stupidity trying to cross a slippery rock but the second time was due to gravity working against me. Phillip had a lot of fun with the insanely cold water coming off the mountain top; unfortunately the fun was at my expense (falling victim to his water wars). He had a blast with the camera today...see his waterfalls below (minus the one that he is in). The smiley face above we found along the drive to our destination...starting the day off right. Yay for Labor Day!!! I vote for more playing and less working.
