Summer

Well, I have been informed a few times this past weekend that I haven't posted in over two months!  So, I thought I should actually get back on and post about my last couple of crazy months.  Where do I even start??? I arrived back in the states June 11th and was back in the great, yet freezing, state of MN on the 12th.  The first weekend I was home I went to visit some friends in Sioux Falls, SD.  I went on two different big vacations. One was to Michigan(same place as last year) with 14 other girls(mostly from Princeville). The other one was to Kentucky with 5 girls from Bluffton......Hannah Rauch, Hannah Fiechter, Korrinn Kershner, Leah Gerber, and Lindsey Grube. I was able to attend the wedding of Alisha Gutwein & Brent Wagenbach in Francesville, IN. Also, spent some time in Illinois and a little time in Oakville.  Our family went Salmon fishing, and went to IL for a Knobloch get together.  Then between all of that I have been helping out on the farm...rock picking, baling hay, and stacking wood(after a big storm blew down atleast 12 of the trees in the grove!!!).  Here are pictures!!! Which I find way more entertaining than me talking anyways!!!!

Views from Zanglais (where we had the AC support weekend)

Well, the girls and I finished up school this past Friday.  Which was pretty exciting all around! But also means I have to find things to fill my time with now........(which really isn't that hard to do).  

A few Saturday's ago, the Hartzler family, Franztou, and I took the gator and 4-wheeler to Barridere(they call it the end of the road...as far as the Bonne Fin road goes).  It was really fun and relaxing!  Oh, and we made record time on the way back.....I don't think it had anything to do with the fact that it was pour rain though......;)  Conrad and I were on the 4-wheeler when it started raining...and so we decided to take full advantage of it....we started muddin :)  He had a blast!!!

Then last Saturday Eric & his kids, Franztou, Jimmy, Eric's cook's brother (don't remember his name), Stuart and I, went to Plaissance to go spelunking!:)  We had heard that there was a big cave there....so we went to find it. It was pretty sweet!!:)

Last Sunday, there was a "concert" in the evening at church. Eric, Jamie, Stuart, Beth, Becka, and I went and we sang a couple songs for it and Eric & I played guitars.  Then Eric & I ended up going back up later and sang a duet.  It was a very entertaining evening!! Actually what happened, was there was suppose to be a special group coming to sing....but they never showed up.  So the Haitians were doing skits, singing songs, etc.  It was pretty cool to watch and participate in!!

Anyway, those are some of the highlights over the past month.....that I can remember off the top of my head...:)  Yes, it would help to blog more frequently...I know.:)  

God's blessings!
