I can’t believe I’ve let my blog sit for almost a good month without posting any updates! The good news is that I’ve been MIA for only good reasons. I’ve been nesting up a storm, decorating and redecorating the house.
Sadie got her wedding photos back and I am pretty much as excited as I was to get mine back. The love and the happiness and pure bliss show through every photo.
We’ve been spending a ton of time together as a family and I’m not mad about it. The six of us (Jerod + Kenzie, Daniel + I, Sadie + Michael) went to Mount Olympus to ride rollercoasters and brave the wave pool and it was so much fun. I had never been to the Dells during the summer so I had only experienced the indoor water park but the roller coasters brought it to a whole new level. Afterward, we drove around looking for a dinner place and found the most amazing spot on the water. We sipped drinks and played bags while we waited for our table – the perfect pass time.
Jerod, Sadie and I planned a going away party for Kenzie (I’m not crying, you’re crying) and Daniel and I were able to host it! Hooray! We’re homeowners! We can host parties! With large groups of people! Not exactly Daniel’s favorite activity but definitely mine. Kenzie made a bomb charcuterie board and it was a great excuse for me to make sure the whole house was clean and vacuumed.
Last weekend, the six of us went up north to celebrate Kenzie’s second to last weekend in American before leaving for three years in Scotland. It was so. much. fun. having all of my favorite people in one place, my favorite place. On Saturday morning, we hiked to the waterfalls where Daniel popped the question – it was probably one of my favorite things, bringing my sisters to a place that held so much importance and happiness to me.
This upcoming week is the Fourth of July and while I am so excited to celebrate our Independence with my family, it will also be my last goodbye with Kenzie before she boards a plane to Scotland on Friday, July 5. I am so excited for her to live out her calling and spread the love of Jesus to the lost in the UK but I WILL MISS HER SO MUCH. Trying to not think about the distance or time before I see her again (her scheduled trip home is for Christmas). I love my family and I love this summer.
PSA to all my uninformed friends – THE HILLS IS BACK ON MTV 🎉 You’re welcome.
