Time to buy a guest book!

We are very excited about 2 big trips we get to take in the upcoming months. We will get to be the guest this time around! Later this week we will head to Michigan for about 10 days and see all of Caleb's family for the 4th of July. It will be a great opportunity to see the entire Michigan clan as well as Josh & his family from Minnesota! We can't wait!

Then a couple weeks after that, we are heading to Arizona for about 10 days too! We couldn't be happier about the chance to get back there and attend Grandma Lois' 75th birthday party! Again, we will get to see the entire Arizona clan and the California group as well. I love that we will get to see so many members of our extended families in July and August! We are so thankful to get to take both of these trips.

So far, it has been a great summer! Caleb and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary this week! We had a date night last night (thanks to our good friend Angie Snyder who came down from Rock Hill to babysit). We had a nice dinner followed by a very long, romantic walk through historical Charleston. It was absolutely perfect! (When you come visit, plan on plenty of time to walk downtown. There is so much to see and do, we LOVE it!)

One thing that was pretty comical this week was Delainey's dentist appointment. Have you ever seen a 3 year old on sedative? It's hilarious for about 5 minutes, then you just want your little girl back to her normal self. She couldn't hold her head up, but was determined that she could walk just fine. When she tried to eat or drink, she couldn't even get the food or drink to her mouth. We were glad the next morning when she returned to her normal little self.

My photography class ended last week and was a great success. I learned a lot and became reinspired. I'm buying a digital SLR this week- so excited! I'm looking forward to learning more and pursuing that avenue with more confidence and excitement!

I started a workout class at our church 2 days a week called, "Body and Soul". I love it! Hoping to loose that stubborn 10 pounds of pregnancy weight. Living near so many beaches has quickly motivated me to feel better in a swim suit!

This week will be full of laundry, packing and preparing to be away for a week and a half. Can't wait to see all of our peeps back home!!
