Congratulations Tammy and Dave!  At the end of June we went to our first official Greek wedding!  The Greek Orthodox Church was beautiful on University of Akron's campus, there was no shortage of olives at the reception, Stavros and the Professionals rocked the night away, and Tammy and Dave make such a great couple!  It was so fun to be a part of wedding truly centered around family and friends...reminds me of where we come from!

I cannot believe summer is halfway over!  We could not have started our summer off any better!  The first week of June we flew down to Key West to visit my sister and meet up with our best friends, Ivy, John and Pat.  As the 3rd annual trip, it was the best of them all!  We have our favorite restaurants which are a must, the hot spots which occupy our days, and new touristy attractions we added to our week.  Bean was an incredible host, as always, and her friends are a wonderful reflection of my awesome sister!  The highlight...we finally got to meet Alex, and we love him!

Christina truly lives in Paradise!  We had days by the pool, house projects, incredible meals, the Hemmingway House, a Ghost Tour, an adventure to the Dry Tortugas, the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor, walks down Duval, local bars, Key Deer sightings, and countless laughs, conversations and unforgettable memories!
