Where to start....
Let's go back to june, just after the first comps attempt:
Kayaking on the potomac anyone??? I took a short trip to visit some friends in DC...

My trip was just after the death of MJ, when all the of the clubs and bars were playing nothing but MJ. These guys were determined to dance to every song and my friend decided to join in...
July was a blur. Not sure what happened. I know I went on the boat for july 4th. and I had a horse show where we placed 2nd in our division.
July 4th on the boat:

There were other goings on in july but I just dont have pictures....
August brought stress and a new roomate whom I have written about. She is not any better.
I did end up going to the riva with girls. It was awesome. Very glad I went.
The storms were rolling in!

The pups had a blast swimming and playing.

A little corn hole???

My conference was held at penn state. The GF went there for grad school. She met me up there during my conference to show me around and calm my nerves.
Picture me up at the podium.

Me and the GF enjoying the view!
I got back from PA. Studied non stop. Took and passed my comps and then went to the lake for some R&R.
Grillin' out at the lake!
Tiny pup post dig.
Beautiful day at the lake!
And then there was labor day weekend. Finally a summer weekend without comps hanging over my head. It felt so good.
Spent a day at the barn. Chic and willy saying hello. Chic has his fly hat on.

Boating fun. Hello from the James! I may have been peeing at this moment.
Enjoying a beer on a float in the river. WTF shelley?
Leave it to the 62 year old to get the party started!

That's all for now. I have some fun stuff coming up though. A horse show this weekened. And then it is off to charlotte for my cousins birthday. And if you recall, things get a little crazy when we get together. There is a party planned. It involves a roller skating rink and costumes. I can't wait!

what a fun summer you've had, my friend!

First, congrats on getting thru your comps. That had to be a major milestone for you and relief.
