NY Trip Number 2 continued.....

I miss this :) Our official hang out :)

We had lots of little kids staying at my family's house that week. This is what happens when you try to make a necklace and a little kid runs through! It was awful!

I got to help Anna with Ella one day. I miss her so bad!! She was being goofy while we were trying to take a picture :)

NY Trip Number 2

In July we went up to NY again so Greg could preach at the Boys Camp at Old Paths. We got there on the weekend of the airshow so we were able to be there one day! I was so glad I didn't have to miss it this year!
I look awful in this picture....I'm sorry :( Getting up at 5am usually does that to me.
One day I went out to eat with all my sisters and oour good friend Jess. I got this yummy Chicken Parm sandwich and fries.....delicious!!!!

Cola and I at the restaraunt!!

Our whole table. Can you tell who's not related? :)))

Labor Day Weekend

My Mom and I (and Lizzy's head:-) Greg and I. On Labor day it ended up raining so we ate at Jimmy's Italian Kitchen instead of having our picnic outside

Anna and Feli :)

Greg and our niece Lizzy. She is SUCH a happy baby! She loves smiling for the camera, everytime she sees it she does a huge smile :)

Thankful For a Sweet Husband

Last weekend my Grandma, Mom, Anna and Felicia came to visit for Labor day. We had an absolutely wonderful time. It was one of the best times I can remember. We did so much in a little time, stayed up late, went out to eat, went on a hike, shopped (of course), had a picnic and just talked and hung out :). You can imagine after they left how depressed I was. Each time I have to part with my family again it does not get easier, only harder. It is so hard to be such a close family and be so far away from each other. Needless to say, that night I cried and cried and cried myself to sleep.

The next morning before Greg left for work, he told me to just sleep in as late as I wanted and not even worry about cleaning the house or doing any laundry or anything. When he got home from work he asked me if I had checked the mail yet. I told him no and he told me I should go check it. The second picture is what I found in my mailbox :).



I love you balloon, a dozen red roses and peanut butter oreos!!!! He is SO sweet!!!!

I am so thankful I married the right man and that he treats me so incredibly well! I am so spoiled! Whenever I have had a really bad day, he always does something special, brings me home roses or a candy bar (or two:). I love him so much and thank the Lord for him!

New York Trip Number 1

Greg and I went up to NY for my sister Anna's graduation and Greg ended up surprising me and buying me a ticket to stay an extra week. I had an awesome time with my family and friends who I miss SOOOO bad!

Liz (one of my best buddies) and I
My littlest sister Nicolea and I ;-) I miss her SOO much!

Just hangin' out!

On our way home from Buffalo after a longggg day!!!

Best Friends!!!!

Camping Trip

One of our trips this summer was to Indian Lake with Greg's Family. My mother-in-law's friend has a camper at a campground there. We were right by the beach part of the lake and could just walk right down to swim. We also tubed, went boating and fishing. One night we went on go-karts...that was SO much fun! It ended up being a crazy race between us all. It was bad...my car even got knocked sideways on the track and the workers had to come and move it for me! It was an awesome trip!


Getting ready to go tubing!!!!!
Tubing out on the Lake. 95% of this lake is 5 feet deep or less so it is pretty safe which we loved! It was wierd to be swimming and walk way out and it's still not even deep!

On Sunday morning we had Church around our campfire. All of the guys did 5 minute messages, including my 3 and 5 year old nephews! They did a great job!

Our cozy tent. We borrowed this tent...there was a divider in the middle, Keith and Mechel were on one side and Greg and I on the other. It was so nice! I had never slept in a tent before and I loved it! We slept sooo good! Way better than I thought we would!

My Sister-in-Law Mechel and I....getting the camp set up for bed!

Let me explain why I have not posted in SO long! I have started a post several times but want to upload pictures with them since I don't have anything very exciting to write about! But I am having problems with my card reader and cannot upload my new pictures. So here is another one from our honeymoon!

Last week was our church's youth camp. I wnt as a counselor and had a great time! We had 11 girls, ages 8-12 in our cabin and 4 counselors. My sister-in-law taught on the book of Ruth everyday and we taught the girls how to make several crafts. They learned how to make fleece scarves, hair bows, bracelets and paint little wooden signs. I taught them some songs and a little bit about music. Everday we went swimming for 2 hours and then had a lot of other activity time. It was really fun and I hope I was a blessing to the girls! They are all great girls and I really desire to see them grow up and always serve God!

Today is our 4 month anniversary! Marriage has been absolutely wonderful. Despite the negative remarks people made to us before we got married, it has been awesome so far!

I am going to make another attempt at getting pictures on here and then I will show you all some of the jewlery I've made!
