Can you believe we are already halfway through 2021?! Much differently than last year, this year is absolutely flying by, with June not being much of an exception. July seems to allow us to slow down a bit, with not many plans on the calendar, which hopefully creates room for sweet summer adventures.

Fittingly, we are headed to Richmond for the weekend to visit with my in-laws (hopefully seeing my BIL and FIL’s girlfriend, who we haven’t seen in over a year!) and some friends for the holiday weekend! When we return home, I’m looking forward to grilling out on the patio, pool days and, fingers crossed, a couple of days at the beach.

Happy 4th of July, y’all!
