So much to catch up on!

So many things have happened in the past week and a half that its hard to even find a spot to begin! Ok, I shall start in order of events! hehe....so organized...

We are officially out of our house, as of the first week of June. So sad...... Since our new house doesn't close till the 30th of June we have a little bit of a limbo period. Now, where are we staying you may ask?! Kali and I stayed with Alyssa and her family for a week, while my dad, mom, and brother were staying in the trailer at our church! Now that my brother is able to get into his apartment, Kali and I are moving into the trailer, small but workable. Here are some pictures of our beloved house, it will be missed.....so many memories......

My empty room.....


This past week we had a graduation for 4 high schoolers at our church! Hurray! Then, this weekend we had a wedding at our church, a couple that I have grown up with! It was a really nice wedding! Its really strange when people in your age group start getting married, its like, are we really old enough for this?!?! I guess so.... Here are some pictures of Linnea, Alyssa and I (the three amigo's) at the wedding! We were all in dresses, so we had to get some pics!
                                      
                                
        
Throwing some rose petals while waiting for the newlyweds! hehe

Our local playhouse has been playing Cinderella, so we decided to get tickets for after the wedding on Saturday. By the time the wedding ended, we were all not really feeling like going to a play. We went anyways and we were all REALLY happy we did! It was great!!! It was Cinderella by Roger's and Hammerstein, so good! We loved it so much we got the movie from Netflix and are watching it tonight!!! Some pics from the show!

Waiting for the show to start:

The slipper fits!!!

On Sunday, I had an interesting food adventure. Alyssa got me to eat a flower with my salad....I know...weird! It was a edible one, and it actually just tasted like salad. Strange.... After watching Cinderella and being all dressed up the night before, we went to Wendy's after church on Sunday and I got a double stack cheeseburger! hehe....sounds so not-Princess-like. Oh well, I mean really, two of those patty's count for one home made one, they are so tiny!

On Friday (my Birthday!!), we (Singles of our church) are leaving for Washington D.C. for the Leadership Training Institute of America! I'm very excited, but also nervous, we are having to do some things that are totally out of our comfort zones. I think it will be good though, a good learning and growing experience! Plus, my first visit to Washington D.C., so exciting!




I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to show from our trip!!

P.S. The week after we get back from our trip, we are moving! Is that scary or what?!?!

House Adventures....or not

We are in the process of getting out of our house right now. Originally we were going to be out today or tomorrow, but our realtor just called and plans changed. We are closing on the 10th or sooner. ugh....

So, I am sitting in Kali's bedroom on a camping chair. Isn't it ironic that just last night we moved all of our major furniture out and into storage?!?! HA! So for the next week or so I will be sitting on camping chairs, sleeping on an air mattress and living out of a suitcase. Just seems weird being in our house and doing all that stuff.....oh well.....at least we have one more week of being in a wide, open space rather than being in a cramped 2 bedroom apartment or a trailer! That is something we can be thankful for! Our house does look pretty empty right now, I dont think it has really quite hit me yet. In due time......

Here are a few pictures I took yesterday and today.......

This is currently our computer desk, our phone has been turned off (so if you want to get a hold of us, you will have to call our cell phones....) and our internet should actually be going off any time now....hopefully not in the middle of writing this post :o)

Dad came in the house after being outside and apparently he stepped on a nail! OUCH! Here is mom trying to clean it.....ahhh what next?

 I plan on posting with some pictures of the house when we leave, so I guess that will be next week ;o)
