This week was fun filled and busy for the Sullivans!!!

After Ben got home from Vegas and I got back from the wedding in Gatlinburg we decided to have a date night on Monday.
We went to our fave Indian place and then to see the movie "The Hangover" which was HILARIOUS!!! Ben was literally in tears during the taser gun scene!
Wednesday I left bright and early for St. Paul, MN. I had to be there for work for a couple of days but was able to enjoy the much cooler weather and even went to dinner with Ben's cousins Mindi and Peter and Mindi's adorable daughters Ella and Olivia who I met at the Sullivan family reunion in January.
We had a great time catching up!!

While I was gone to Minneapolis, Ben spent his time finishing up his training for the Peachtree Road Race that was coming up on July 4th!
Friday I was off from work and spent the morning running errands.
Around 1:30pm Chesare and Bobby arrived and we were ready to start the weekend!
Friday night we had a BBQ at the house. About 10 of our friends came out and we had a great time eating, hanging on the deck, and lighting fireworks! Besides almost blowing up our neighbor's house...everyone walked away from the fireworks show unscathed.
Saturday morning Ben and I got up early and left Chesare and Bobby to sleep in for the morning as we headed downtown for the 40th annual Peachtree Road Race. The PTRR is the biggest 10K in the US with over 90,000 runners. I dropped Ben off at the starting line and then went to get a good spot at the finish.
Baby Boo and I cheered Ben on as he crossed the finish line in just over an hour.
I was so proud of him and he made great time!
After the race, we came back to Roswell to pick up Chesare, Bobby and Grace and we headed out to Lake Lanier for a day of boating and fun!
We had a great time on the boat! Ben and Bobby got to wake board and tube!
After a fun day on the Lake, we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for some grub and then headed home for the night!
Sunday was a vegetable day for Ben and I. After we said goodbye to Chesare and Bobby, we watched a couple of movies and cleaned up the house...but that was the extent of our motivation!
It was a really fun Independence weekend and I was so excited to have Chesare and Bobby with us to celebrate! Thanks for making the trip down guys!!!
Happy 4th to everyone!!!
