My Summer in Pictures

May!

    

My adorable niece was born! She is healthy and happy. Her parents are amazing parents. For the sake of their privacy I will not be posting more pictures.

My Classes in Virginia

Hiking with some of the ladies

"snowboarding" in May... This was different but a lot of fun

Kayak at a bbq at the head of our department's house.

June

My birthday happened when I was in Virginia and a couple of the men took me out for dinner which was fun. But when I was back in Oregon my friends threw a surprise party for me.

 

 

Mexico

Less than a week after arriving back in Oregon, myself and a team headed off to Mexico. We had the honor of serving at and being served by Imuris Kid's Kingdom. 

 Read the sign and this picture makes sense.

July

I went to work at my summer job after Mexico while continuing to take on-line classes. But of course I squeezed some other things in as well...

Fourth of July in Harrisburg

August

 Camping and rafting the Rogue River with friends

Made a trip to the Coast with Lindsey and Kent. (I also went with Shawn, Marca, and Kent at somepoint but have no pictures)

I took the younger three hiking while they were in town for VA appointements.

Marca, Shawn, Kent and I went to Portland for a time of shenanigans 

We didn't get any food pictures, but Portland has AMAZING food trucks.

  Umm Alexander's picture ended up down here and I can't make it move.

September

I went back to my normal fall job and continued working on classes 

 Hiking with Lindsey

Helping Terrah and Hudson move... (we were working hard five minutes before and after this picture)

Started Soccer

 Proof that I was doing homework!

Woops! How did I almost miss these two events...

 My absolutely amazing VBS team pull together a whole VBS in less than a month! We had a great turn out and lots of fun with the children. For some reason this is the only picture I'm finding...

  My ordination service... What a blessed time! Thank you to all who made it special.

I made a trip down to the Redwoods to visit the family

I was rear ended in May and purchased this new vehicle at some point in the summer
