Life since Ohio has been pretty great. We got back and I got to go downtown with Justin for our usual Mellow Mushroom trip. We then got to walk around and he showed me some of the end results of construction that I have missed in the past year. It was very nice to catch up and get some conversations out of the way. Not to mention see my best friend again!

The past 10 days have been such an amazing part of the summer. My wonderful boyfriend, Logan, came and stayed with me and we had so much fun chilling and spending time together. He really enjoyed having the garden in the backyard.

We woke up one morning and he went out and picked some fresh jalepeños for his omelet. We also got to see 'Brave' in theatres. I absolutely love Pixar movies. We also got to watch a few movies over at my parents which was nice. I got him into Guitar Hero. He wasn't very good, but he got better towards the end.

We went downtown a few times which was nice. We both rather enjoyed the falls. We also got a picnic in with my youngest sister. He really enjoyed being downtown from what I could tell. Seeing as he's from Barbados, he had never been to Greenville before. We have the beautiful Reedy River Falls right smack in the middle of downtown with Liberty Bridge stretched across it. I know that he loved that!

During the evenings at my parents house, we would end up playing some form of game. One night we had a crazy tickle fight that lasted half an hour. The other nights, we would play 'Devil' or some other game where you had to guess who you were from asking questions to the other players. I ended up being a plethora of people. Marilyn Monroe, Ellen DeGeneres, Kermit the Frog, and Peggy Bundy. They were pretty fun to play with the family!

On the 4th of July, which Logan had never been here for one before, we woke up and made my special Cinnamon Twists for the family to enjoy. They were gone before the night was out. We played some games and shot some fireworks with the neighbors kids. We even got to get downtown for South Carolina's biggest firework show! Fireworks are illegal in Barbados, so Logan really enjoyed watching all the huge explosions in the sky! When we got home, we had the deep fryer going and we did some bacon wrapped jalepeño poppers as well as some squash tempura!

Well, today Logan left on a plane to go back home. It was sad to see him go and the house has been a bit quieter than usual, but we talked when he got home over Skype. I used my day going to the Greenville Humane Society to get a puppy to foster for the next 8 days. I have been enjoying the company of the lovely Fuji since around 4pm today! We have had a lot of fun so far and hope to have lots more before the next weeks end!
