It's been a long time since I have had the time to upload pictures and an even longer time since I have had anything to say ; ) So, this post is going to be very long, I think, to make up for the long silence ; )
Pictures first, because they are my favorite way to communicate...

Christopher spent a few hours fishing....

And his long wait paid off : )

Then we went camping.... our boat on beautiful Lake Michigan : )

Best friends : )

Some more best friends who braved the weather to camp this year : )
Things got a little intense on the beach ; )

but it was all good in the end : )
David & Jen found this little gem in Mackinaw : ) The best part is that it's free!

Theses ladies and I worked a lllooonnnggg 4day trip last week, but had a grand time with lots of laughs : ) This was my second all girl crew in two years, and I LOVED it!!

Lunch in the park with two of my best friends : )

Phil & I on his 20th birthday... boy, I'm getting old!

My friend Elsa passed away in the begining of the month : ( This is one of my favorite pictures of the time I spent with her : )
I was going to write more... but this post has been so many days in the making and I leave again early tomorrow... so I figured I would just post it the way it is tonight : ) God bless.
