for Danielle

Ok girl, here goes, I will update. Since Marta's birthday, I have been busy! The weekend of the 20th, my family moved my dad's parents in to an Independent Living place in O'Fallon, MO (I have secretly been wanting a reason to drive ALL the way out there.....NOT)! It is good to have them closer; 30 min away is better than 4 hours away. The weekend of the 27th, the youth group had laser tag from 9-midnight on the church property. I was there to help "referee" games. Let's be honest though, all I really did was sit around and talk with Johanna, Rebecca and Shonda (WEDDING!). That night, I had 7 girls spend the night at my house and we went apple picking the next morning. I squeezed in a QUICK nap and then went to Taste of STL with my adult friends! PARTY WEEKEND! I needed another nap on Sunday just to recover. Pictures below!
