Wedding... now back to class

Classes start tomorrow at KSU... hello Macroeconomics and American Government. Oh well, it's only 8 weeks so I'm sure it will fly by pretty quickly. And I have another wedding to look forward to attend in August (in Canada). My mom and I just spent the weekend in Niagara to attend Michelle's wedding. It was beautiful!! And now she and Brian are on their honeymoon in Panama. : )

Ontario-bound

In less than ten hours, I'll be on a plane headed north. :) It's my cousin's wedding on Saturday, so my mom and I will be spending the weekend in beautiful St. Catherine's, Ontario. Oh, wine country, how I miss you. Seriously, though, it's the most beautiful place to be in the summertime. The whole Niagara-on-the-Lake area is full of vineyards and estates, bike paths along the Niagara River, bed-and-breakfasts, and all sorts of leisurely activities. Picture perfect. Anyway, I'm excited about the getaway, but kind of bummed that I won't be up there longer to visit family and friends. But I'm blessed to get to see the wedding. ♥

10K TRAINING

Today is the day I begin training for a 10K... and however unfit I have become over the past 2 years, this is my "summer of fitness" and I have high hopes for success. I'm joining a group of runners to help keep me motivated and on track. In other news, this weekend is my cousin Michelle's wedding. : )  My mom and I are heading up to St. Catherine's-Niagara Falls area on Friday and I am very excited. Below is a picture of Michelle and I back in 2006.

Moving Out... and Lacrosse

So I moved out of my place in Cleveland this past Saturday. What a job! *whew*
Anyway, I'm back in Kennesaw and trying to enjoy my full week off. :)
Mom and I are leaving for Niagara Falls on Friday to see Michelle's wedding.
Last night I got to see my youngest brother Randy play lacrosse... here are a few pics.

Harrison Bay State Park

One day after work I went on a random drive. Had no clue where I was going. All of a sudden I saw a sign for a state park. I thought, "Hmmmm... I wonder where this goes". So I started heading in the direction the sign pointed me toward. Twenty minutes later, I see a huge body of water and think "NO WAAAY! I had no clue this was here!"

I started exploring, and found a cozy little spot under a tree. It was nice and sunny out, and I fell asleep listening to the birds chirp and the water lap against the rocks. How peaceful. : )
I'm trying to re-learn how to relax. It was definitely a hectic semester.

Art Night

With the exception of two phallic symbols (ahem, Kristin!) our paintings turned out pretty neat. Never a dull moment at Kristin/Bri/Emily's apartment. =)
