Camping with College Buddies

4 years ago after I first graduated from Saint Francis some friends from school and I began getting together and camping each summer. I didn't get to go last year since I was perma-camping in Afghanistan. This year was so fun and it was great to get to spend time with them again. I haven't seen Becky in 2yrs and the others I haven't gotten to see since I returned in Sept! Jovan has applied to go get a Master's Degree, Maria is still doing awesome in PT school in Chicago, Becky is working in a lab for the company that makes those 5 HOUR ENGERY drinks, and Mathew-Baker is going to be working as an activity coordinator at Geneva College in PA while he does his Master's Degree work there...... everybody is well and I am so excited to take Jeremiah with me next year! I'll put up more pics as I get them from my buds!

New Morales Family Addition

Yeah!!! My friend Aimee had her little girl very early this morning! Baby Iris, beautiful little thing isn't she! She looks like her mom and dad so much I think (minus the screaming, but if you or I had just gone through what she did we'd be screaming to!) What a blessing! Prayers are with you Morales Family! Aimee's birthday is the 23rd she almost had to share!

Morgan Family

This is the Morgan Family (minus Gabe). So really it is my sister and her kids. The onesies were made by my sisters Bible study friends...they really were cute. It is a good thing they made a lot of them because the boys keep shooting green streaks of poo out of the top of the diapers up their clothes....Tristen did that to me right after the picture of me laying down holding him was taken....it was a close call! Arsalie is flirting with the camera like always and then there is my pretty sister holding one of the boys....I wanna say it is Titus, but it is hard to tell when they are not side by side! Tristen is the "bigger" of the two, meaning he is a little chunk!

Bragging

These three are just too fun and too cute.... Arsalie is now in the stage that she loves putting on high heels...pretty stylin' in this picture. The boys are rockin' the handpainted onesies....

First Dress Fitting

Last weekend I went with my mom, sister, and niece to my very first dress fitting....and I survived. I was REALLY anxious for some reason, but everything went great. My sister was a huge help and it was great having my mom there. We even picked out a dress and accessories for Arsalie. She is so cute. Here we are before the changing began and then Arsalie with a few of the dresses she tried on. No sneak peaks of my dress, but I loved it and am getting even more excited. I had to exchange the size, luckily for my ego I needed a smaller one, but it will be here in plenty of time. Next fitting in October....

Cliff Robertson

Tonight I volunteered for the National Aviation Hall of Fame induction Presidential dinner. I escorted Cliff Robertson, oscar winner and most recently known as Uncle Ben in the new Spiderman movies. He is the sweetest man and I really had a wonderful time. We got there late, due to some miscommunication with a friend of his, and when we got there the GOLD table he was hosted at asked me to stay and sit with them.....wow-wee.... front and center.....with all the big wigs from Lockheed Martin.......what an awesome time. This is one of the perks of volunteering; you never know what is going to happen. Yes, I did have to sit and wait in a hotel lobby for 3hrs and got hit on my 2 very sweet yet scandalous men about 70-80yrs old.....just another story to keep life interesting.... love you guys!!!

Outside Decor

So here is a flower in the backyard update...pretty. Wish I had a nicer backyard to surround it with! Also, I got this cool windchime in the mail today from the great family that used to take care of Maxwell when I worked nights. They recently moved to Korea to follow the military tradition...how sweet of you guys!!!!
