Wake Pal

   We took off for Lake Powell the day after we arrived home from Flaming Gorge. We drove 3 cars down because we had the boat behind one, the tent trailer behind another, and then the third car was for Raquel and Brad because they were coming home a few days early. 

   Brian and I drove by ourselves in one of the cars because Brian woke up extremely sick that Sunday morning. It was pretty bad and not a fun way to start the trip off, but he started feeling a little better to do some skiing by Thursday. I’m so proud of him though because he was such a trooper even though he felt so ill.
   We were there for a week and it was a great week of relaxing, cliff jumping, exploring, swimming, skiing, wake boarding, cruising around, and camping! The weather was perfect! We couldn't have asked for better!

Little lizard..

 Kissing a frog.. She can hope right?

Love his glasses..

First time up since being sick...

 We LOVE Lake Powell! :)

Flaming in the Gorge

    These last two weeks living in Utah have been filled with family time, which is exactly what we wanted to fill it with before we depart on our adventure. On the 19^th of July we took off for Flaming Gorge with Brian’s family so here are some great pictures from that below.

    As the pictures show.. we had a grand ol' time! Love this family and we already miss them so much!

A Bear Lake "Hanging"

   Friday the 13 was a good day. In fact it was so great we decided to go watch a hanging! We headed up in the afternoon to Bear Lake.

Took a nice swim and skipped rocks!

Then it was time for the "Hanging." We drove over to Pickleville Playhouse to watch The Hanging of El Bandito. My friend Jess was one of the stars of the show and I really wanted to watch her perform and see her one more time before we move away.

She's the Indian girl, Sam. Her voice and acting is just stunning!

After the show.. I got to give her one last hug. She is one talented girl and it was so much fun to watch the show. It was HILARIOUS! Not at all what I expected of the show!

Love you Jess!! :)

     After the "Hanging" We were extremely hungry so we headed over to the Bear Trap Family Restaurant for some grub and then it homeward bound as the storm hit. I just love rain, and watching it come across the big late was just beautiful. We are so blessed!

A glimpse of Chicago

Some pictures of downtown Chicago. In my spare-time I find myself trying to get a glimpse of my surroundings in the very-near (TWO WEEK AWAY) future!

 One thing I can't wait to see is the bean pictured below.. It's been on my bucket list since I knew it existed! Woot!

   Pity that the water is not a nice warm ocean... instead it's freezing lake Michigan! But it looks fun right? I am super excited!

Raquel & Brad Love Story

   I made this video for Raquel and Brad to show at their wedding! This couple has been nicknamed the "perfect" couple and I think it rings true! They really are!

Hopin' and Wishin'

   My family made this video for my cousin Erin a month ago.. It's pretty great :)
