Block Island

Last week I went to Block Island for the day with some other girls. There were 2 sisters here from Minnesota, so 4 of use from Rockville took them to Block Island for the day. We had an absolute blast! We drove down to the shore Wednesday night after church and stayed overnight at the Bahler girls house.  

On the ferry, ready to go!

Some of the pretty sights around the island:

We rented mopeds for a few hours. They were so much fun. I would definitely recommend doing it!

We took the ferry back that night and headed back to the Bahler girls house for supper. We then went over to the shore to watch the sunset and take more pictures!

JaNae and I drove back home that night as we were leaving the next day to head to Ohio for a wedding. The other girls stayed overnight again and spent all day Friday at the beach.

10 years

Today marks 10 years since I started repenting. I am so thankful for where God has lead me these past years. They haven't always been easy, but He has never left my side. I know and trust that God will continue to lead me and provide His grace throughout the coming years.

Ice Cream Contest

This past Friday night, the sister's got together and had an ice cream contest. We were divided into groups, and each group had to come up with a theme, create a recipe, go buy the ingredients, and prepare the ice cream. We had about 2 hours to do everything. It was lots of fun!

Revelation 2:25

Time for an update...

What have I been up to?? Lots of stuff! I am taking an online summer course which is the month of July. It has kept me really busy! Along with that, I've been having fun and enjoying the summer before my last year of school starts up!

Eliza absolutely loves to swim! So we do that alot. 

Yesterday I went blueberry picking! Can't wait to go again this year.

I also babysat these twin girls the other day. They are the absolute sweetest, most precious little girls!

And, of course, here's the little kitty Kiwi:

Such a good thing Aaron buckled her in the car for the ride to her dr appointment:

Strawberries & the 4th of July

A couple weeks ago, I made dad go strawberry picking with me. We had fun, even though it was hot outside. 

All ready for the freezer!

Have you ever had applesauce blended with frozen strawberries? You should try it. 

For the 4th of July, we went to my uncle and aunt's house for a picnic and a little farewell party. My cousin, Brian, who's 11 years old, leaves tomorrow for Alaska for a couple weeks. 

Here's my patriotic pretzels:

And my patriotic cake pops, which were a HUGE hit! 

And here's Brian with his Alaska bound/4th of July cake!
