Wow--this summer is flying by way too fast, and I haven't blogged in ages. We've been keeping super busy, enjoying time with friends and family and time at the pool! I've got tons of pictures that I wanted on here, so this will be a hodge-podge post. We had to say goodbye to our dear friends Stu and Heidi several weeks ago. I miss them like crazy--this is one thing that stinks about Robbie's (our) job of investing in students--we get super close to them, and then they have to move away. We had a going away lunch for them, and Levi decorated the brownies--supposed to say, "We'll miss you", but some of the powdered sugar got messed up. I'd love to spend the rest of my life next door to this couple--extremely special people!
Enjoying the KS sunsets--not quite like on the farm growing up, but they still take my breath away.
Helping my little sis put together all her invitations--she's getting married in 1 1/2 months! I'm so excited for her and love her fiance, who she just met in JANUARY!!!
Aren't they cute together? I feel like he's already a part of the family--he'll sit up late and night and talk with all of us girls when we're all home (at Mom and Dad's), so he fits right in!
Helping celebrate my little brother Mark's 30th--can't believe how old we're getting! A group of family and friends surprised him last Friday night at a Royal's game. It was hot, but so much fun! Here he is with his beautiful wife, Emily.
Hot and sweaty Sarah
Me and my honey at the game
Handsome Levi
Adorable, ornery Jason
And once again, the cute engaged couple.
On Sunday after church, Rob and I made a quick trip to Chicago to trade in our dying van for one with fewer miles. A highlight of our trip was getting to spend a few hours with some dear Challenge alumni, Daniel and Rachel. They let us crash at their apartment, fed us a great breakfast, and took us to Millennium Park to walk around a bit, all just days before moving and weeks before having their first baby. We loved our time with them!

Umm hello! We are SO out of touch you went to Chicago & got new wheels and I knew nothing about it??? Oh no...I hate living so far from my friends. :( Well hope Chicago was a blast & I can't wait to see your new wheels!
