We're now in the heart of summer and the new monthly "A Look Back" series has been going for three months strong. This month might be the shortest yet, but I wouldn't expect that to be the norm for the remaining five months of the year. 

Most of the time when I write posts like this its because Jenn and I have gone out for brunch, or to a wine festival, or something out of our norm. But this past Sunday (July 16th) was actually a pretty average Sunday. It wasn't a particularly pretty day in Newport, nor was there anything major planned for the day. But by 7 AM it was clear, Roger Federer was about to defy age and reason once again.

For a third straight month, my monthly updates continue. Although I enjoy pretty much everything I write for my blog, looking back at stuff is one of my favorites. So without further ado lets talk about the start of our 2017 Summer. 

Last month I decided to start making "monthly updates". Instead of trying to post a couple of posts a week, I would combine a lot of it into one monthly recap. I enjoyed writing about April so much that I've been staring at the calendar actually looking forward to the end of May just so I could write about it. So with no more preamble let's look back on our amazing month.

We now live in walking distance to two movie theaters so we have no excuse not to see movies when they come out. Although my list for Summer 2017 is light, there are some real stand out movies that I cannot wait to see over the summer, that is if I can drag Jenn along to see them with me. 

2017 has been off to an intense beginning. The year began with Jenn accepting a new job and April 1st was only the second day in our new Newport Beach apartment. We've had a lot going on. We started off April dropping off our keys at our old the high rise apartment and fully moving into the new one. I will say we made more trips to West Elm (in South Coast Plaza) in the last month then we did the entire time we lived in Santa Ana. In a future post I will write about our apartment and take pictures of the final product, but I will say as of this writing the place is stunning. Jenn has truly outdone herself with our new places decor.
