So I know that I have been horrible at updating this. I don't blame anyone who stopped checking to see if there was a new post. Life has been super busy and a lot has been going on. We leave on Sunday for Germany and I p r o m i s e there will be many beautiful pictures of Europe and all the fun stuff that will happen there! Stay tuned I promise it will be worth it!!!

tschuss!!!!

some of my most favorite people in the world are coming tonight!!! October is going to be a great month!!

It's booked!!!

We booked our trip to Germany last night!! I can hardly wait! I'm so excited to see and eat and take in all of Germany!!

Today I was a the grocery store with my mom we came across 2 things that will for sure get you in the "fall spirit!!" I love love love them and you will too!

honey crisp apples (the really huge ones)

and spice cookies!! you can taste fall...

i'm back!

SO I know I have been awful about updating, but that's all about to change! Things are starting to clam down after a very busy summer and keeping up to date on here is one of my goals. The good thing about slacking here is my journal has been getting good exercise! Now remember my camera is dead as a door knob so I'm working on that, but here are some pics from our vacation back home to Maryland. It was wonderful as always! I love spending time with my cousins, they are the best and we are all close even though we only get to see them once a year. We make up for the lost time by having a blast with each other!! Love my Family!!!

the last pic before my camera went for a swim....at least it was a good one...

our trip...

We are home and we had an amazing time! It is so awesome to spend quality time with family. Unfortunately I dropped my camera in the sea water! Pretty much ruined my day...I loved it. I did rescue my memory card though so I will post the few pics I have....it's good to go but it's good to come home!

maryland here we come!!

I know I haven't been updating, but an update is coming for sure! I'll post some lovely pics from our vacation to my favorite place on earth (here is one to hold you over)!

After weeks of feeling like we live in a rain forest the weather is finally awesome outside again! The humidity is down the sun is out and I'm going outside!!

not in such a great mood. a little frustrated with life. so let's focus on what i am thankful for...

~a loving family
~the knowledge that i have a father in heaven who knows exactly how i feel and feels it too
~my beautiful puppy who is the light of my life
~a job that i truly do love, not many people can say that
~good friends
~nephews and nieces who fill my heart
~my parents perfect example of marriage
~loving in-laws
~the gospel
~trials......but lets get real...they suck!
