Oh the Places I Go!

Hello blogging friends! It's been a busy week, I cant believe it's Thursday night already! Last Friday I took off for the Wild Wild East to attend a memorial, a wedding and a baby dedication; so I think I covered all my bases! :) We stopped at the Flight 93 Memorial in PA on the way. More too come on that so stay tuned - it was very cool but sobering.

Alisa and Clark Hoober were married on Saturday in Lancaster, PA. SO Beautiful! Here are some photos -

Saturday night we drove to DC to see Elle's baby dedication in church on Sunday. Here's some photos of the kiddos:

It's 4th of July Weekend! Can you believe it!? I hope you all have a fantastic Holiday Weekend!

Tonight Tour

Thanks to, 'Uncle Paul' as I like to say, Linds and I were treated to the Chris Tomlin/Toby Mac Tonight concert tour, it was SO good! It reminded me of Michigan's Adventure because it was like getting two concerts for the price of one! The first half was praise and worship with Chris and the second half was Rock out with Toby Mac and the Diversity Band!

Linds and Me

Toby and the Diversity band

Part way through they came to the back and played some old school stuff, niiiiice!

Tonight!

It was a great night and I'm so glad I was able to go. Tomorrow morning I'm off to Lancaster, PA then DC!

Happy Weekend!

This is: MACKINAW!

Over the weekend I went to Mackinaw Island with my friends and my cousin Dana - we officially are Mackinaw Queens! Enjoy the photo trip!

After driving through the pouring rain, we landed in Mackinaw City and the guy upgraded our room to a suite! it was a snowmobiler’s paradise!

In the morning we took the ferry in what the Arnold Line workers dubbed a, ‘heavy fog’ it was definitely misting, but we braved it and went over – good thing that was all the precip for the day!

Pedal – faster! the day ended up with 30 miles! 3 trips around and adventures through the hilly and horse poopy interior!

Journey and things I like

So if you know me at all I’m HORRIBLE with songs and lyrics and knowing which songs go with which artists…really just bad with music in general; titles, artists, genres etc.  I just listen! 

But I recently discovered that several of the great classics belong to Journey!  So now I’m a realized Journey fan!  And thanks to pandora – I’m listening to Journey and other great classic rock frequently!

Also, I love the photo of the day on Bing.  What a great idea, and the photos are always SO cool!

Turns out I also really like biking!  I finally bought a bike this spring (a cute red one), and I am just loving going out and using it! So if you want to go with, give me a call! Or if you have some great path suggestions, leave me a note por favor! :)

Slickles,  pearl studs, summers nights, windows open air off, baseball on the radio, painted nails, a good pair of pumps, Cherry Coke Zero, great shopping finds and middle of the day text pick-me-ups!

What are some of your favs?

Happy Day Friends!

Silent Readers

It has come to my attention lately that I have a fair amount of readers who arent ‘followers’ of my blog. So I wanted to send a big hello and thank you! to all of my readers including you silent ones! I would never call it internet stalking – as the most recent disclosed silent reader did – I’m just glad to know people are reading and I’m not writing into a void!

Now here’s a little Q and A for the week:

There were a lot of questions about the ‘no sugar’ thing. A: It was mostly a no sugary treats thing, and I’m not doing it anymore. I was SO faithful for about 3 weeks, got on the scale and nothing had changed so I scraped it! But I am trying to be more conscientious about my sugar intake.

This isnt a question, but Dad was a little TOed (yet proud) about the Squirrel thing, so thank you to everyone who commented and told him he was totally cool! Cause you’re right, it is a skill! It’s unbelievable really…

Andrea asked: where the groom was in the photos? – He’s there, the one where they’re cutting the cake! And about the uploading…it’s easier, and it’s my blog and I like how the pictures are wavy in a line!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Wedding Weekend

My girlfriend Laura from High school and college got married this weekend. The wedding was in South Bend and I was a bridesmaid. My BFF Kari was a bridesmaid too, and my good friend Dana was as well, so I got to hang out with her and her husband Matt! enjoy the photos -
