The Blogging Hiatus Continues...

I know I said I was going to catch up the blog over my winter break from school, but I have been spending time with family, cleaning out the pantry and closets, and getting other things done! So, here is a recap in pictures of some Summer/Fall happenings...

Katie, Lauren, and I reunited for Katie's birthday in Huntersville. It was fun spending the weekend with these two...just like old times!






Cristin and Ryan stopped in for a visit...


Becca, Ruthie, and Amy visited Knoxville for a weekend...




We spent time on Mom and Dad's boat and learned to paddle board...



We went camping with friends...






I took classes for grad school...


And we went to see Beauty and the Beast!


And we can't forget some cute pictures of Alice....

Catching Up

The last time I posted on the blog, I was smack in the middle of summer classes...over FIVE MONTHS ago! Yikes...

Time flies when you're having fun when you're in grad school. Needless to say, I am super behind on the blog and everything else in my life so I am trying to take advantage of my 5 week break from class. I have lots to catch up on here, so I will try to update this a lot before Spring semester begins! Once these five weeks are up, you might not hear from me until next summer, but I'll try not to let that happen!!

Instead of doing 1 post to recap the last 5 months, I am just going to start working my way through the photos on my camera and post things separately. So, here we go....

Jake and I had two awesome visits with family over the summer. Grant, Jessica and the kids came down and then later, Grandma Kissel, Aunt Kandy, Josiah and Lillian came to visit.
