I'm going to Europe!!! Plus some new photos

Hello All!

Well I've been incredibly busy raising support and figuring out trip details (it's extremely hard to find a plane ticket that flies into Amsterdam in August (has to be there before noon) and then fly home in April out of Turin, Italy). But God is good and He provided the perfect ticket as well enough funds and lots of prayer and encouragement!I can hardly believe it but I am indeed most likely going to Europe. . .for EIGHT months! It's a little mind boggling, but I'm very excited to have this oppurtunity. So thank you all so much for you prayer and support! It means the world to me!

Alright so on to normal life. . . or rather the fun things we've been up to in normal life :)

The Following photos are from Father's Day

We hiked up to a beautiful lake between St. Regis and Superier. This one if of Dad and Buddy balancing on a rock along the trail.

A pretty group of plants along the trail.

Here's the lake . . . So pretty!

Mom and Dad by the lake.

Family pic right before departure back to the truck. . . it was raining pretty good by this time. . .and yes I know the photo is blurry (dumb auto focus) but I like it anyway.

The following photos are on the 4th of July, we hiked up to Quartz Lake off of Cherry Creek.

Some pretty foliage.

Amy being such a good girl.. . even though she was very tempted to chase poor Molly away from her food dish. :)

Well that's been my lastest news! Hope you all have a great day!
