It has been a busy season of life. I feel like it has finally started to slow down and I have had energy to spend on my little family. It was a super fun and emotional summer and fall! Here's a timeline of what's been going on:
Early August: Grandma Barthel Passed Away. She was 87 years old and a beautiful woman. It was hard to see her go, but knowing that she was going to meet Jesus was such an amazing thing.
August 10th: Trip to the Zoo with the Bargmann's. Over the last few years, the Bargmann's, who are our neighbors across the street, have become very close friends. Our kids love to play together and many times act more like siblings than friends and we enjoy time with them. We had planned a camping trip with them for the weekend but with the weather and mosquitos...we decided a day at the zoo was a lot less complicated!
August 11th: We celebrated our dear friends, Becky and Joe Harpel's, little man's first birthday party! Isaac turned one on August 6th and we celebrated with a water party at Becky's parents house. That girl knows how to throw a party! We were blessed to be part of the festivities.
August 13th: It was my 31st Birthday. Gordon surprised me with Breakfast in bed and an evening of shopping with a good friend of mine. We were on the hunt for workout gear and new tennis shoes...super fun evening! I came home successful.
August 17th: Gordon joined my brother to celebrate his upcoming wedding with a day of pigeon shooting and fishing!
August 24th: Megan Celebrated her soon to be sister in law, Amanda, with a spa day and a trip to the Melting Pot. It was a great girls night out with Amanda, my mom, her mom and her friend Jessica! We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend an evening together!
September 5th: Micah Started Kindergarten! BIG DAY!!!
September 13th and 14th: My Brother Clint and his Fiancé Amanda's Wedding Weekend! ANOTHER BIG DAY! It was so much to celebrate with them. Gordon, Micah, Sophia and I were all in the wedding! It was a great wedding - it was rainy but still breathtaking.
September 20th - 23rd: Gordon and I took a belated Anniversary celebration this year. We took a trip to Indianapolis and Chicago. Gordon had an IT meet up for a group that he has been connected with for the last couple of years and has become friends with through the great world of social media. We decide to head to the meet up and them stop in Chicago on the way home to tour the city. It was a great and much needed retreat for us! We love spending time as a family but enjoy those few precious moments of being just US too!
So its been a busy and exciting few months. We look forward to getting into Fall and enjoying what October has to bring! Blessings!!
