Mystic Seaport!!

Today went to Mystic Seaport! My siblings and I had never been there before, but we thought it would be a fun daycation before everyone went back to school. It was beautiful and soo classic New England! Here are some of the many pics I took...

Summer House!

Today was my last day of work for the summer! I was supposed to work tomorrow, but the pool closed early because of the hurricane coming. To celebrate, we went to Summer House and had dinner and then ice cream for dessert!


Kersti and Linnea both got waffle cones.

My mom got a brownie sundae (yum!) and Johnny got a peanut butter cup sundae.

And I got peach cobbler topped with soft serve vanilla and whipped cream! Soo yummy! It's gonna be sooo nice to have this next week off before school starts. Just being able to relax is one of my favorite things about summer :)

Nerf Competition!

Back in May, my little brother Johnny entered a Nerf contest and wrote an essay about why it's "Nerf or Nothing". We were sooo surprised when about a month ago, he received a phone call saying he was one of the finalists, and then even more amazed when he won! Seriously, no one wins these things! He and my mom were flown down to Orlando for a three day, two night vacay! His team competed in four Nerf games, but since they didn't qualify for the finals, he had time to visit DisneyWorld! They went to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios and had soo much fun! I picked them up from Bradley tonight. My mom remembered that when I went to DW, I brought them these yummy chocolate dipped Mickey treats, so she brought them home for me and my sisters. I'm sooo excited to be there in just 3 months!!:)

Updates!

I haven't had much time to blog since the day after I got home, I started lifeguarding and teaching swimming lessons. That's going well and I'm finally getting tan... lol I think I got more sun my 1st day of work than I did my whole summer in Idaho! I can't believe it's already August, I'm glad time is going by so fast because in just a little over 2 months, Dan will be home!!!! I'm SOOO excited for that!! I'm already seeing some Halloween decorations out in stores and it's crazy he will be home before then :) I'm soooo happy our relationship is still sooo strong and perfect and I think that once he is home, it will feel like he never left! Also, happy 27th anniversary to my parents today! :)

HOME!!!

I flew the red eye into JFK and got home this morning! It was sooo nice not having a layover like I usually do when I fly into Bradley. A big thank you to Dan's dad for picking me up!! It's awesome (and humid) being home :) and I have my 1st day of lifeguarding tomorrow so hopefully that goes well!

You know it's finals week when...

*People actually show up to class *Everybody has more to do now than any other point in the semester *You open the $100 textbook you haven't touched since you bought it at the beginning of the semester *You are studying on a Friday night *Taking a shower is considered a study break *You spend more time in the Testing Center than you do in class...

Sooo busy with finals and getting everything done before the end of the semester! At least I'll be home in just a little over a week :)

100 Days...

Until the love of my eternity comes home!! I miss him sooooooooooooo much and I'm totally counting down the days! He is the best and I'm soooo proud of him! I was looking at these classic pics his dad took of us back in Summer '09... and I was thinking our next photoshoot will probably be engagement pics!!! How exciting is that!? I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH DAN AND ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO BE HOME AND BE WITH YOU AGAIN!!!!! XOXOXOXOXO
