Life Lately

I know there hasn't been much going on with the blog lately but we haven't been doing too much to report on. Let's see........

- Last week Carter took two youth group boys to meet up with a few youth group guys and his old Youth Minister from WA and they took a week long hike in the olympic mountains. I would have posted about this sooner but something scares me about letting the world know that I'm home alone for a week. Anyways, they survived and weren't eaten by bears or anything wild so that's good. It sounds like they had a fantastic time and I'm glad that Carter is home now!!!

-Speaking of Carter being home, that was his 3rd week away this summer and I'm selfishly happy that he isn't going anywhere anytime soon!!

- Work has been going well for me, I like some aspects of it more than others but isn't that life?

- We had our annual clothing drive at church on Sunday and in 5 hours around 560 people came in to get clothes.

- We are so ready for our fall shows to start back up again!!

- Nothing else new to report so take care for now readers!!!!

Fine day for a White Wedding

Two Saturdays ago, August 7th to be exact I was honored to be in my best friend from high school's wedding. In high school we were always together and our cheerleading friends called us each others "other hip". We met sophomore year and our friendship just grew through the next 3 years. Unfortunately moving  far apart from each other we didn't stay in touch as well as we could. 3 years ago she was in my wedding and to my delight she asked me to be one of her bridesmaids over a year and a half ago. 

So, Noelle and Mike got married in Rocklin, CA in a beautiful ceremony and had a fantastic reception at a golf club nearby. It was so much fun getting to catch up with Noelle during my 3 days with her as well as getting to spend time with some of her family who I haven't seen in years! It is amazing how many stories a person can forget until they are reminded!!!

The Night of her Bachelorette Party

Her Gourgeous Dress

Had to get cute toes!!

Diana was having some "issues"

Noelle's bouquet was so pretty and the handerchief and pin on her bouquet were used during her grandma's wedding. 

I was glad that my sister and mom were able to come to the wedding. It was so much fun dancing with my sister and all her "cool moves". 

The Bandits

Okay, maybe they aren't bandits, just  raccoons... but they are always behind our apartment walking on our wall and the grassy area behind it. Last year around this time we had baby raccoons and we have been waiting for them to appear this year and alas they came out about a month ago. Carter likes to feed them bread and see how close they will come which freaks me out a bit because the mom starts growling when this happens. Anyways, they are adorable even though a tad bit scary because of all the diseases they carry.
