Angie & George’s Wedding Weekend {Part Two}

Read Part One! The 4 days leading up to the wedding were amazing. Yesterday, I was so focused on getting pictures up that I failed to adequately express just how much I love my family. My Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Parents, and siblings are  fun-loving and HILARIOUS! I cannot even count the times over the weekend…

Summer Reading List 2012

 These are a few I have checked out from the Library right now. It’s a lot of non-fiction; so I really need to get my hands on a couple good pieces of fiction, too…a couple “lazy days in the sun” type books.  I’ll start with these and see where the Summer takes me! Sheparding a…
