During a college preview week at my alma mater, Emmaus Bible College, my good friend Charissa wanted to take pictures of me as a special gift for Joe. However, that gift has yet to be given to him...but I'm working on it! Here are a few of the shots, though not necessarily my favorites. The rest can be viewed here:
In the beginning of June, we had a Girls Nite with our youth group girls to talk about the touchy topic of modesty. We made yummy smoothies, laughed, played games, and painted our toenails and ended with a devotional on honoring the Lord in the way we dress. I don't know how much it impacted their hearts, but it went smoothly and we pray the Lord continues to use our words. Here's the gang below:
Later that month, I went on a second girls outing -- with several ladies from our Bible Study plus a few extra. We went to a very relaxing and refreshing cabin, it was so wonderful!
We also were blessed to see some incredibly beautiful sunsets...
Next was an energy packed trip to Valleyfair with the youth group! I even braved the Power Tower! A fun time was had by all :)
We finished out June with a family vacation to northern MN with the rest of my extended family - at least all that could be there. We enjoyed our time sleeping, eating s'mores, taking pictures, playing poker, hiking, roasting marshmallows, watching Fiddler on the Roof and talking, of course! It was a weekend I will cherish forever...
Listening to Grandpa's reminiscing...
Hiking Buddies!!
Mom Surprised me with her Poker Prowess!Recently, we had a family reunion at a park near us with Joe's side of the family. I used the time to experiment more with my camera and got quite a few adorable shots of my nephews and niece, as well as others!
Tanner's my silly buddy :)
Sutton has a way with the women in our family!
Precious brother and sister!
Tanner loves his Uncle!
Laina is the little princess of the family :)And that brings us up to date!

Liz, loved seeing all the pictures. Like your blouse in the first picture - makes me think of possible new jewelry! I've added your blog to the ones I want to follow every day. Love you,

I always love your pictures...you look beautiful in the ones your friend took. I wish I could have made the family get together...but I will be home for the reunion, I assume you won't be able to make that one...we'll get together again eventually :) Love you! Miss you...
