Summer Summary of 2015

behind the scenes of my sister's and my photoshoot. Thanks Tami for taking our photos! Kinda nice to be on the other side of the lens for a change :)

Between the heavy smoke that last most of our summer and losing a memory card (extreme sad face) it's been an amazing year. Starting a new job, meeting new people, growing more in my faith, God is graciously wonderful.

We took the Scenic Tour to the top of Big Mountain and the view was breathtaking.

 I get so many great ideas while shopping around in Station 8. Love, love, love going there!!

vacation, pt. II

 Yes, that is a mini flat screen TV, AND our lawn table and umbrella. All I'm saying is that this family knows how to camp. Ha ha!
The lake at Emery Bay was perfect. I swam for hours! It was so refreshing after this abnormal heatwave; I am truly grateful the Lord has kept the forest fires away from our area.
Camping was luxurious and painful. When I say painful, I mean "painful sunburn." We got too much sun and cut the camping trip short a day or two, but we all had a great time.
I smelled like campfire smoke, my hair was thick from swimming in the lake, my sunburned back stung every which way I moved, I didn't get sick after two s'mores (which is a complete blessing), and laughed into my pillow as my family members snored long into the night. I'm not a huge fan of camping or eating roasted marshmallows late at night, but I can say I enjoyed myself immensely. So, Dad, you were right-- I am very glad I went camping.
