This is our life...: July 2009

Well, I think I have to come to terms with Summer laziness and being a bad blogger! I'm around so many of the people who would read my blog so it kinda feels like "why blog?" Well, I am still alive. And I know people still do read this, so hello :)

Since July 22 many things have happened!

1) I cut my hair!

and as you can see from this picture...

2) I went to Minnesota to visit Jeremy and his family on their vacation there!! They have a house in Spicer, Minnesota which is about 10 minutes from Willmar. It is so beautiful out there and I am looking forward to the many more times we will be back! It was seriously SUCH a great time! I got to learn how to ski (not a huge success) and wakeboard (better success!), etc. The Aaron family was VERY patient in teaching me how to do all those things!! (Thank you!) It was great to see Jeremy in his element there and having so much fun on the water. He's been doing it a long time and is really good! So is Liz and the rest of the family.

Being out there was so great too for me to meet some more of Jeremy's family! We had a great time playing games, eating, and hanging out. Such a relaxation. :) Here are some pics of that trip:

While I uploaded pics I realized I had none of the group :( The Aarons have tons on their computer so I hope we have some there!!

After Minnesota was time to fly to San Diego to celebrate Mom's Ordination!!! It was so great to be there to cheer her on :)

Mom's great friends the Rices and Turners surprised her the night of Ordination!

Mom's best friend Miss Gail & my Grandpa Larry prayed over Mom:

Best friends:

Dad, Mom and me after the ceremony!

The 25+ celebrating at Cheesecake Factory afterwards!

After the Ordination ceremony we got to go up to LA to Disneyland! I drove with Barbie and Stacey on our way to LA and we had a great day of hanging! It was also really, really great to see Dawson, Rhoman, Lauren, Taylor and all the other family that came out! I hadn't realized my "little" cousins weren't so little anymore!! It was also great to be there for Evie's first time at Disneyland. She LOVED LOVED LOVED it and made every penny count! Seriously, couldn't have been a better experience! Here's some pics of our fun:
