A few weeks ago, my mom reminded me that I had some Halloween decorations here with me in Atlanta. So after pulling half the boxes out of the crawlspace in my bedroom, I found the bag containing the Halloween "puppets" I made in clay class sometime in elementary school. Say hello...
Then my dear friend Annalise came to visit while she was in town for a work conference. Visiting another mutual friend, we got to carve a pumpkin! Carving pumpkins is probably my favorite Halloween activity, besides eating candy corn, of course.
A few weeks ago, Ryder and I threw a surprise birthday party for our friend Anna. She was completely surprised and jumped about a foot in the air when twenty people yelled "surprise" from her loft.
Unlike every other year of my life, this summer I spent just a few days in the state of Michigan as opposed to just a few days out of the state of Michigan.
First was Cheri & Darren's wedding, where I got to see lots of my college friends (see all the pictures):
The rest of the weekend was spent seeing family & more college friends and reminiscing about the good ol' days in Grand Rapids (see a few more pictures)...
That's right, the sun actually shone on us while in Seattle. After celebrating Scott and Jen's wedding, we spent the rest of the weekend eating at Denny's, walking around downtown, and seeing how many people we could fit into kindly loaned cars. see all the pictures
