G.N.O. + Andrew

So, G.N.O.? Party? Yep. Here was the agenda:

1. Steph, Eve, and I talking for hours about anything/everything and nothing at the same time.
2. Shopping (of course) at Kohl's and other places with great (or not so great...?) sales.

Does anyone know what this article of clothing is called? We don't.

3. Pick up Andrew and go to the mall to purchase and devour pretzel bites and have a party in the photo booth.

 4. Watch "While You Were Sleeping" while giving/receiving hand massages. (Catie, Jacob, and Malcom had also joined us by this point in time. Pretty sure the guys were going crazy with our giggly girlishness. Oh well. They knew beforehand it was a G.N.O.)

The end.

P.S. You may also read about this lovely event on Andrew's blog.

High five for first kiss!

(not mine...)

Wouldn't it be cute if everyone was that excited about every kiss they ever got? Can you imagine some 90 year old man kissing his wife and then punching the air and shouting "woohooo!!!"? Don't you think that'd be cute?

Animal Sightings for today:

1. Mother moose with two babies. (Ahhhhh! So cute!)
2. Porcupine. (Also quite adorable!)
3. A zebra with blue vans.

Here are the goods (photos) from today's adventures. But, please excuse the lack of moose photos because they were not in a photo-possible position. I had to look at them through my binoculars. Plus, it was time for dinner and my dad had grilled some dang good pork and zuchini.

As I often say, excuse the crappy photo. It was moving too quick for me to take
 the time to change the settings on my camera.

It got mad at me when I started running so I could get in front of it...

I was in my room changing out of my "for my eyes only" clothes when I saw the porcupine out my window...
Like I was going to waste time finishing getting dressed! 

I just think my shoes are cool.

#16- Check! (again)

Pretty much , this was the cutest thing ever. And, I really was that close. I was using hardly any zoom. And at one point, if I'd had arms the length of my dad's, I could have reached out and pet it. This definitely was one of my favorite things to cross off of my summer bucket list.

There's always a rainbow after the storm.

#20- Check!

Happy Birthday to me!
