Tubing on Tonka with a Terrific Family!

What seemed to be a somewhat gloomy morning turned into a wonderful day spent with amazing people. Could not have asked for a better family to hang out with on Lake Minnetonka! You all have an extremely special place in my heart and always will. Thank you for teaching me so much about life as well as giving me the privilege to share some great times with your beautiful family. 

Simply Blessed

I feel so blessed to have these amazing girls in my life. They truly are beautiful on the inside and out and I know they will do GREAT things as they take their next steps in life. As we all begin our new journey let us rejoice in the wonderful times we've had, and go forth with a smile and full heart: "Let us not love in words or in speech, but with actions and in truth." John 3:18 

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1

Illinois State's Annual Shakespeare Festival

 I had what most people around the Bloomington Normal area would call "the privilege" of working for the annual Illinois State Shakespeare Festival. This year they featured Romeo and Juliet, The Winter's Tale, and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). While I wasn't taking out the garbage, putting seat cushions on 400 theatre seats, or ushering in the 98 degree heat, I was sneaking around trying to snap some pictures! Unfortunately they don't allow pictures during the shows, so I was only able to take pictures of the grounds. Ewing manor is a beautiful place! Best part: I received credits for working!
