Summer 2010 Rewind

The last week in may I traveled with or Senior Class to Destin for a week of fun, fellowship and relaxing. It's always a great trip and this year was no different.The fist weekend in June, I traveled down to Dallas to see Wicked with my parents as a late birthday present. It was such a fun night, and I was glad I got to share something I love with two of my favorite people.
On June 12th, one of my oldest and dearest friends, Paula P who's now Paula G got married in a beautiful garden wedding. It was such a special day, and I was honored to get to be a part of it.
The last week of June, I was fortunate enough to get to hang out with ALL of these crazy kids for our 9th annual Local Mission Project. This year we had 10 teams completing 12 different projects. This week is always mentally, physically & emotionally exhausting, but the pros out weigh the cons by leaps and bounds. I am so blessed to get to be a part of something this AMAZING!

On June 23rd my best friend, Mallary and her husband Blake welcomed into the world, Caden Tyler. He is one of the most precious little boys I have ever seen and he brings so my joy to everyone who just catches a glimpse of his sweet face! I'm so excited he's here and for Blake and Mallary! On July 3rd my friends Mark and Hannah were married at Pratt Place Barn & Inn and Fayetteville. It was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to and the reception was soooo much fun! We all danced the night away and got to see some pretty rad fireworks to end the evening. I am really happy for this sweet couple, and once again so grateful that God has put such wonderful people in my life.
The day after M & H's wedding, I headed down to Texas to spend the 4th of July with the family. It was a great visit. My Uncle Dane and Aunt Carol were there from Oregon and I hadn't seen them in a couple years so it was fun getting to catch up.
And finally, the two weeks ago I traveled with a team of 22 to North Carolina for an Appalachian Mission Trip. It was a fun, hot, rewarding week that will go down in the books as one of my most memorable trips of all time.
