My Summer Wraps Up Here.

I knew that September would be a month of patiently waiting...with Katie leaving for Spain on the 26th, Casey's wedding on the 2nd, and me moving on the 9th, it was inevitable that September would practically drag by. And so, here we are. Katie left yesterday and it's literally a countdown of single digit days before Casey becomes a wedded woman. Even the air felt different today. Fall is knocking at the door and we are wrapping up some huge life events. So here is Katie's final goodbye (and Mark's appropriate going away tee):

But my pic for the week is of one of the most exciting things in Birmingham, the grand opening of the Railroad Park! 3 city blocks of foliage, walking trails, and water right in the heart of downtown Birmingham. It's something that city planners and Bham visionaries have been waiting for for a very, very long time. And it's finally here...to stay...and it will prove to be one of the biggest catalysts in the redevelopment of downtown perhaps ever. I can't wait to see this story unfold...

Woohoo! Brighter times lay ahead...
