MICHIGAN

At the beginning of August Mom, Dad, Brian Jr and I drove to Michigan to visit the Wilson Family!

This summer Danielle and I read the Twilight Series. At one point we were both on the same page!

The night we got to Michigan, Danielle, BJ and I went to a Francesca Batistelli concert.

We had a blast!

I love Michigan skies!

Each year when we go to Michigan we spend some time in DD's classroom. Danielle is a great teacher who loves what she does! Dad, Bj and I were able to help DD set up her classroom. This is one of my favorite things we did in Michigan.

Thanks for having us Josh, Danielle and Annabelle! I love visiting you guys!

OBX

This summer has blown by! Here is a quick update of the rest of my summer. At the end of July we had our annual vacation to the OBX. I love when the whole family can get together! We had a nice relaxing time!

Sand Castle that Karen and I attempted to build. We tried!

I'm thankful to God for a great vacation with the Fam!

Week in PA

This past week, my mom and I were in PA. We had a blast being with the family.

On July 3rd we celebrated my Mom's birthday! She's the best Mom ever. One of the things I like most about my mom is the way she encourages me by sending me encouraging notes and by praying for me. I am thankful to God for her! Love you!

Later that day Dad and I went to see Public Enemies, which is about the life of John Dillinger. The movie was very accurate to his story.
For the 4th of July, we had a picnic in Pennsylvania then went to see fireworks in Carlisle! The kids loved sitting on top of the car while watching the fireworks! It was a blast! Chris and I

Mom and I tried this new place called "Neato Burrito" for lunch yesterday.

Then we visited my Grandma Kovlak-she's one of my favorite nurses!On our way home, Mom and I stopped at the Gettysburg Outlets and got a pretzel. YUM! It was nice to be able to spend the week in PA since I'm home from school. I enjoy seeing all my family! Fun times!

Summer

Summer has been pretty busy so far since I've been home. Here's what I've been up to:

First, I'm blessed to be able to watch Hailey during the summer. She is full of energy and fun to be around. We have done many fun things this summer. We love being outside the most, playing at the pool or park.

Second, Brittany's wedding. I loved doing errands with Britt this summer in preparation for her wedding; whether it was going to her dress fitting, ordering cake or printing programs. I loved spending time with her and made some great memories driving her around! She's the Best!

Here are a few snaps from Brittany's wedding shower.

Third, I've also been taking an online literature class this summer. I am taking it for a couple of reasons. First of all I need it in order to graduate! Second,  I don't really care for english so I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. Luckily it is only for a month and I will finally be done with the class this week!! : ) I've actually really enjoyed this class, I enjoy reading when I have the time and summer is a perfect time to sit and read. 

I'm so thankful for a fun filled summer so far. God has been so kind!
