Corpus Christi, Moscow, Pennsylvania

It's been almost a month since I've posted, and that's mostly because I like to have pictures when I post, and I didn't. But now I do!
The Sholls are world traveler's apparently ;)
Cory and I spent the 4th of July weekend in Corpus Christi with the Wilkes at their friends the Ketters' house! Neither of us had ever been there, and it was a fun, relaxing weekend! It was great to meet Susan and Toby and their two adorable girls, and they were wonderful hosts. We forgot our camera, and Beth keeps pictures on her camera for years (I'm not exaggerating), so I don't have any pictures.
After that we spent a few weeks waiting for the next Shuttle mission to launch and seeing if Cory would be going to Russia for two weeks. It slipped a couple times but he's finally there now. He left last Thursday and will be back next Wednesday. I miss him. He posted some pictures on facebook, but here is one of St. Basil's Cathedral, and of the Omega watch he got!

This past weekend, I went to Pennsylvania to celebrate Alicia's upcoming nuptials. We had her bridal shower on Saturday and her bachelorette party that night. Both events were lots of fun, and the public-friendly pictures are posted here, courtesy of Heather
Here is one of all the girls from the bachelorette party!

In addition to Alicia's festivities, I got to see a good friend from high school and my parents. Oh and I got to eat lots of good Pennsylvania food! It was a great trip!
Now I'm busying myself watching girly movies and trying to wait patiently for Cory to come home!
Next stop: Vegas! Hopefully, depending on the next Shuttle launch...

About on the bride and groom in the Russia pic, it is some crazy tradition there for the couples to run around to all the famous places in Moscow to get pictures. So seriously when I was there last, everytime I turned around at a "touristy" place, there were a half dozen couples milling around waiting to get photos done. It really is kinda bizarre since EVERYONE does it.

I was hoping for some Corpus Christi pics! You picked a great one from our weekend though. I had a great time eating all our PA faves!
