October may be the shortest update I've done in the 6+ months I've recapped months. This is one of the only months of the year we haven't gone somewhere, and nothing major really happened. But that's not to say it wasn't a great month, it was just a busy one! 

I wish I had posted more this month. It's been an insanely busy month, one filled with exciting news, lots of work, and a fun getaway. It's one of those months that although I didn't get to write as much as I'd like, its a post like this that will help me capture all of the amazing moments. 

August might have been one of my worst months of posts on the blog. If you don't count my posts for Peru I've had one book review and one Chef Joel & Jenn and that's it. Pretty poor showing. I'm hoping to rectify that next month, but until September rolls around let's recap an incredible August. 

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.
