This summer we went to Iowa for a wedding for Sarah (Hessing) Bruxvoort. It was so fun! I loved being with Deb again. We just fell into our rythym, just like it hasn't been like 8 years which it had been since I had seen her. Way to long!!!
While we were in Iowa we also saw our family. I love going home to Iowa.
The kids also took swimming lessons this summer. We went to my mom and dad's in Chicagoland(Stegar) when Missi and her family came to visit!! That was great!! Downtown for fireworks, Porter Beach all day( my personal favorite), fireworks at night at G and G's house that Jeff and the boys put on for us. It was a busy couple of day's but sooooo fun!!
We did alot of going to pools and just hanging out.
Steve was gone alot this summer with work so that was yucky. He also went with our youth group to LA Vida. It's a wilderness experience. It sure did stretch Steve in ways I don't think he knew were coming. It was stretching it for me too. I had no contact with him for 10 days. When he got back the kids and I were at the conference grounds camping with our Church group. Here Drew had the flu for the first 5 days. Then I got the flu the night Steve came out to stay!! We still had a good time!! Beaching it everyday! Just relaxing!! The flu kind of would just come and go. Although I still have some symptoms 9 days later!! I just want to get better.
The kids start school on the 25th. I am ready and not ready. Ready for the organization of school, not ready for them to be gone everyday!!
