Hi there stranger(s)

Ok, ok, i will spare you the excuses of my absence. To be honest summer was busy but not so busy that i couldn't have blogged. i guess i just need a break, a real break from the normal ebb and flow and that is what i got! summer was great, but now fall is here! Summer was just buzzing along and then BAM the air was crisp and the first leaf was crunching beneath my now closed toed shoes! But before i just give in to the ever creeping closer fall i think i will relive my summer, in warp speed! How about some pictures?!

my man ran MORE than a marathon! (see previous post!)

i got to go to Texas for work and see my bff tay. awesome duh.

we declared Sunday afternoon/nights Hogan-Eiselt hang out days and so we got to see our sweet friends and their precious (dancing) children!

we went to Pine Lake for the day 4th of July weekend. gorgeous!

oh yea we added on a new building at church, had over 500 volunteers from across the country that came on their own time and money to build us a new youth wing. Go God.

The Hogans (all the non-marrieds) ventured north! Fun family times

Jordy came (and this is the best picture we got) and we went to the Harry Potter midnight movie premier, duh.

we got to see our sweet sweet friends John and Jill get baptized! Super cool!

Aubrey and Ben were reunited!

and they quickly picked up where they left off (acting like children who refuse to grow up)

So much fun with sweet friends! Good thing Lindsay and I like each other because i think we would just have to put up with each other anyway! :)

OH YEAH, Mom and I went to Hawaii...no big deal.

and it was BEAUTIFUL! And so we find ourselves on the brink of fall! Can't wait to see what fun adventures it will bring! Hope your summer was as wonderful as mine!
