"In summer, the song sings itself" -William Carlos Williams

This weekend will mark the first official party at the Carver household! We are having our housewarming party and are thrilled that so many can make it! (30-gasp!) We are happy to say that the weather is going to be on our side- sunny with no rain! And are confident that it will be a good time. Hope you are ready to party!

I have prepared a feast of delicious Mexican food to include, a beef and chicken taco bar, Spanish rice, corn and avocado scramble, homemade sangria, and of course chocolate chip cupcakes. (Not Mexican themed, but fab nonetheless) Did I tell you why it's Mexican food? Well, it's to celebrate the fact that we DIDN'T move to Albuquerque and are starting our new life on familiar territory. Back in November, we had a fabulous "going away" party all planned, and since that did not happened, we asked ourselves why let those fabulous preparations go to waste?

Fast forward to July 31, 2010 and we are now throwing ourselves a "Not Going Away Party" and keeping the same theme. I love the irony of that. And let's be honest, who doesn't love the idea of a taco/fajita bar?

Also, make sure you bring your sneakers, we are also putting up the volleyball net.

Can't wait to see everyone and join us in this exciting new time in our lives. Will post party photos and house photos next week!

Hello friends-

Wow- a lot has happened since my birthday. We've moved into our new home, and are happy to be settling in, and enjoying being home owners. I've also quit my job and am excited to have been promoted at a different company! Below are some assorted photos of our summer so far....we've been having a blast so far, can't wait to see what else lies ahead!




B. and me at the Baltimore/ Red Socks Game.


After the game we took a side trip to another Baltimore spot that I was dying to check out. Charm City Cakes



Love the detail!



OMG!!


My family threw me a fabulous 30th birthday party! It was a Paris/Luau theme. What's not to love about that?!


As a foodie, you knew I would have atleast one photograph of food. So, this is a photo of the most delicious appetizer, at my birthday dinner in Virginia Beach. Roasted peppers with garlic, capers and fresh mozzarella cheese. yum.



Here we are heading out for a night on the town in Virginia Beach



Sold!



we just bought a house!! We went out for Cuban food to celebrate.



To celebrate the 4th of July, we went to a local old fashioned festival. Complete with watermelon and carnival rides. Best part was the hot air balloon rides! B. didn't have a say, we were waiting in line for it. Here we are waiting for the balloon ride.


We were excited...and I'm not going to lie, I was a little scared.


up in the air! It was sooooo fun.



Hope y'all are enjoying your summer too!! Go out and do something fun, I can recommend the hot air balloon ride! Stay cool.
