Catching up!

Life has been crazy so I will just give you a few highlights from spring and summer.

April- I said good bye to this pretty woman. She left me for...Oklahoma City! Can you believe it? And of course she is loving it, the freedom of a car, the slower pace, and the nicer, God-fearing people of the Midwest. Sorry NYC but it's true. I miss her, it hasn't been the same since she left.

About to take a ride on the Hudson in the sailboat behind us.

May- My mother came to visit me for the first time. We had a fabulous time. We saw three shows, ate at fun places and visited the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Perhaps the best part of the trip was when my mother told me that I should just do it, just to school for acting. I cried as she said it. I know I am a grown woman and that I don't necessarily need my mother's approval but it sure is nice to have it. There is something about the love and support of a mother....

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge

During May I also got to visit my friend Lynne and her family in Rochester, NY. We had a great time visiting Church history sites and attending the Lilac festival.

Hill Cumorah with Lynne and Joanie, both former roommates!

Beautiful Lilacs

June- Must have been pretty normal because not much is sticking out. I did however come across Mt. Rushmore made entirely of beef jerky. Now, that is something you don't see everyday!

Yummy!

July- Spent a few days in Virginia Beach visiting these crazy people that I love! We watched a baseball game, saw some fireworks, went to an aquarium, and swam at the beach. It was an amazing weekend.

Sharks freak me out! I never swim in deep ocean water, never!

Does this picture even need a caption?

I also got to attend my family reunion in Utah. We had a blast with parents, all six kids and spouses and sixteen grandkids. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures but my siblings did and I can't wait to see them! I also got to visit this pretty lady while in Utah. It's always good to catch up with former roommates especially when they are your grandma!

Now you all know where I get my good looks!

August- Watched a Mets game with these beauties who also happen to be some of my best friends. After the game we enjoyed a concert by Boyz II Men.

I am blessed with amazing friends!
