Sweet Summertime.

The summer months were fun and exciting. A quick recap below.

The month of May started with our Third Annual 20-30s Group Beach Trip to Destin- always a great time:

(The Year of the Pirate Selfie)

A few weeks later, Hubtastic and I went to Nashville to see English comedian and transvestite Eddie Izzard:

Lots more where these came from, and yet not one of Eddie Izzard.

And May ended with me going to Atlanta for my now-sister-in-law's bachelorette party. A day spent riding the rides and getting rained on at Six Flags and the evening spent dancing and avoiding weirdos at a club called Opera.

June started with a seersucker bang, thanks for Hubs' new suit.

Check out that sweet bowtie action.

Then on June 4th, I finally certified as a Data Management Coordinator flight controller for the International Space Station! (And got my new car)

If you look closely, you'll see it's not a real car.

The evening (and to be honest, much of the morning and afternoon) of June 6 was spent on/at Ben and Sydney's wedding rehearsal and dinner!

Sisters-in-law: Sarah, Sydney, Faiza, me

Bride and Groom!

Amber and I were sharing a moment, clearly.

Almost all of the wedding party.

My in-laws, the Perrins

Hubs and I!

The next day was spent at Ben and Sydney's beautiful wedding!

A few days later I met my 10th astronaut- Shame Kimbrough. He graduated from West Point in 1989, and spent almost 16 days in space, and almost 13 hours doing EVAs.

I think the building makes an excellent backdrop for the photo.

Then from June 22- July 5, we enjoyed a trip to the Mediterranean. Details can be found here. Bonus photo:

Enjoying our last breakfast at our hotel in Venice, Italy.

After we got home from our trip, we went to the see the Beach Boys with special guest John Stamos at the VBC!

Bruce Johnston and I!

Have mercy.

Oh, hello, Stamos. :)

On July 19, Ben and Sydney invited us out on her parents' boat. I was in the middle of a set of 4 midnight shifts, so I was definitely extremely tired for my shift later that night, but it was so worth it.

A couple weeks later, Hubtastic and I went to the US Space and Rocket Center to celebrate Apollo 11's 45th anniversary! We also happened to meet Astronaut Don Thomas. And a few days after that, I had two crew members visit my work, Astronauts Mike Hopkins and Rick Mastracchio.

I skipped a lot of the details because I posted so many pictures, but just know that overall, the summer of 2014 was good to us.
