Where did the summer go?

This summer has gone by WAY too fast!  It has been a full range of emotions since the very beginning.  The last three weeks have been exhausting for us and we are ready for some down time at home.  This month started off with horrible news when my Uncle Bob passed away from cancer.  He was an amazing man who's life ended way too soon.  John and I headed to Vienna, IL with the rest of our family to say goodbye.  I have so many great memories of my uncle but I think my favorite is the week I spent with them one summer.  Even as busy as Uncle Bob was with farming I never would have known it because we spent the entire week horseback riding.  It is truly something I will never forget.  John and I stayed with my cousin Scott and his wife Misty and little boy Jace.  It was really great to get to hang out with them just wish it was under different circumstances.  Hopefully soon we will all be able to get together again.

The following weekend I headed to St. Louis to celebrate my best friends baby shower.  Seeing and hanging out with my friends from high school was so much fun.  Its amazing how much we have all grown up but have not grown apart.  I can't wait to meet baby girl Taveau this fall as well as Renee's twins!  So much excitement going on in all of our lives and it is wonderful to be apart of!

This past weekend I headed to Lake of the Ozarks for another celebration,  Kelli's Bachelorette Party!  I could not be happier for her and it was great to see some friends from Kansas City that I haven't seen since I moved 3 years ago!  Kelli and I used to tell each other that some day we would look back and laugh at ourselves for being worried that we were going to be single forever.  Well we definitely had some good laughs over the weekend!  I have so many wonderful/crazy memories with Kel.  We decided we definitely don't see each other often enough and are going to make it a point to get together more once the wedding is over.  Can't wait to see where life takes us!!!

This weekend John and I are both FINALLY home!  We are planning on getting on the boat on Saturday with some of the fire department and then sunday is take your dog to the swimming pool.  It's sad but the dog day at the pool is something we truly look forward to.  I will make sure to have my camera and get lots of pictures!
