The End

Yes, its really been that long since my last blog.  If anything it should be an indication of how fast the last month has gone by.  Its been a good experience blogging this summer, even if I did slack off a bit toward the end.  Thanks to all of my followers, I love you all and I hope you were at least slightly entertained by this documentation of my summer life!

This is what happens when you accidentally show up an hour early to parties that are in the middle of the country--you find beautiful sunflower fields.

Luckily my friend Josh, who graciously drove me to this party, had his camera as well.  You don't feel more like a Kansan than when you're standing in a field of sunflowers.

What a holiday!  I started celebrating early with my friend from Belle Plaine, Andrew.  God knows I love roaming around Barnes and Noble (I think he does too).

And then the baby came to our house.  And all we did was stare at her because she is beautiful.

I think Jack was exhausted.  We started calling him "Nana" because he would alert us anytime the baby cried.  I half expected him to pick her up by the britches with his mouth and drag her off to bed.

While Jack took a much needed snooze, we were off to Aunt Marlies' house to see the rest of the fam.

Finally--fireworks!

Ahhh!  Summer is going by too quickly!  I can't believe its fourth of July weekend (but I say that every year it seems).  Here are just a few highlights from being home in Wichita for the holiday.

At last, home.

We finally caught the squirrel red-handed.  Now we just have to plan a counter-attack.

What a weekend.  Here are the highlights.  I'm too exhausted from consecutive crazy nights to come up with witty comments for them.

And I thought remembering to blog was going to be easy...NOT.

Here's what you've missed in the last twelve days.

A summer storm rolling in (the most energetic feeling ever).

Baking with whatever was left in our cupboards (now THAT'S cheap living).

Making crafts from baking supplies.

And finally, reading my one true love.

Last night I went to the most beautiful wedding, uniting two of my favorite people together forever.  I must say, they throw a rockin' good party. 

I was also VERY impressed by the way that they' magically transformed Bishop Miege high school into a gorgeous reception venue.  I was marveling the entire night.

I was also thrilled to see many of my Murphy Hall friends that have been absent in my life since school ended.  As we celebrated Barbara and Andy's wedding, it reminded of how much I love and cherish all of those people and how lucky I am to have them.
