Angels Watching Over Us

A little over a week ago H was in a pretty bad car accident and we were very lucky he was ok - a driver ran a red light and hit him on the drivers side at the wheel. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers many of our dear family and friends have sent our way. It was very scary, he is healing well - some burns and stiffness. We were very fortunate to have our family and friends at our side right away either by phone or actually at the hospital and at the accident site. Distance makes it hard at times, but luckily technology comes to our rescue at times like these. The car is totalled but H is ok which is all that matters. Here are some photos he took at the tow lot.....

We are on the road to recovery!

An update on MIL - she is doing great, the doctors think that they have eliminated the cancer and she will soon be in remission!!! We do the last part of her surgery next month and then we will be having a celebration like nobody has ever seen before! It has been a long road but we are very thankful for the outcome!

San Fran

This past weekend H and I went to San Fran to visit Abhi - he has been there for the summer for an internship with Google. We had a wonderful and relaxing visit. Some of the highlights were we did a city tour of the city, SHOPPING(our hotel was right in the middle of the best shopping I have ever seen-imagine a triangle made of Nordstrom, Nieman and Saks and so much in between), the Golden Gate Bridge, Napa and Sonoma, and spending quality time with Abhi! Below are some photos from the trip, there are so many to pick from, the rest can be viewed here.

Behind Again!

It is so easy to fall behind blogging when you are never home! It has been a busy summer but we are finally slowing down. It would take too long to document the rest of our summer activities so I will just leave you with some photos of the fun we have been having! To summarize them, we enjoyed Jammin' in the Zoo, Ryan's 30th Birthday party, a visit from our good friends Aarti and Jeff and Emily's bridal shower! It has been a busy July and August!

Congratulations Emily & Bobby

Last weekend H and I headed back to Quincy for Emily and Bobby's wedding. Justin grew up with Emily and have stayed friends over all the years. It was all beautiful and we had a great time! Congratulations Em and Bobby - we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

All-Star Week

This year the All-Star game was held in St. Louis and of course we had to join in the fun! We were out of town the weekend before, but hopped right into the fun on Monday. H and I headed out to walk the streets of St. Louis and enjoy the festivities. We had a great time! It was so nice to see the streets filled with so many people. Tuesday, Mike, Erica and I headed out to catch part of the parade and then walked around all afternoon and evening. H had class so he was unable to meet us until later when we headed to Column's Bar in our building to watch the game. It was such a fun event and the city was soaking it up!

The Citygarden

This summer the new Citygarden opened. It's downtown, right next to Justin's office. It is really a beautiful garden. On our last date night we went to dinner, and a movie and decided to take a walk around the new area. It was great to see so much activity downtown during the late evening hours. They had it complete just in time for the All Star Game, which was an asset.

Priti Visits!

In the midst of our weekend madness, Priti was able to come to the Lou for a visit - it was just one night, but we had a fabulous time! Myself, Priti, Mike and Erica headed over to the Four Seasons for Parties on the Terrace for dinner and drinks. It was such a beautiful night and I absolutely love the atmosphere up there. H came and met us after he got out of class that evening. It was great Priti was able to come to the lou to hang out since she is now in Thailand and then is off to law school in the beginning of August.
