From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised! -Psalm 113 : 3

Date Night!

When Josh was here, he took me out to dinner to a restaurant in Cuyahoga Falls- it was really nice and we had a very enjoyable, fun evening together, which we ended by sharing a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream (which he was so sweet to eat slowly for my sake =P)  and watching the Italian Job.

I look slightly out of it . . . I think I was just hungry :D

Peter and Angela | Gender Announcement Pictures

Peter and Angela were so very excited to find out that they were expecting TWINS! But then came the difficult part; whether or not to find out if they were having boys or girls or one of each. 

After much debate, they finally decided to go for it, so we did a quick photo shoot the day after they found out so that Angela could use the pictures to make an announcement on her blog.

We started out with a few pictures of the joyfully-expectant mommy . . .

And then we let the awesome daddy-to-be join in!

They are such a fun-loving couple!

Lazy days.

A Week of Firsts!

Hey readers!!!! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted anything substantial . . . I suppose I can blame that on the fact that I'm taking a few nursing classes through the summer and life in general has been pretty busy. But here I am again! 

This past week was a blast! Y'all may remember back in March when I blogged here about my visit with my dear friend , Ashlee , her husband , Daniel, and our mutual friend , Josh. Well, it just so happens that Josh is no longer just my friend , but he actually called my dad at the end of March to ask if he could pursue a courtship with me. This past week, after 2 very long months apart , Josh finally got to come up from North Carolina to meet my family! We packed our week with a lot of fun activities. 

On Saturday , we went to my cousin Paul's graduation party - if meeting my immediate family the night before wasn't enough, Josh got to meet my dad's side of the family the very next day . . . 

trying to find some shade . . . it was HOT!

Sunday was church and after resting a little in the afternoon, Josh and I went for a walk at the park.

On Monday, Josh and I and my family (minus Jacob) headed up to Cedar Point for the day. 

Just after our first ride of the day- which was also Josh's first ever roller coaster! I could hardly believe that in 23 years of life, he'd NEVER been on a roller coaster  =O

My dad took this picture of Ian on one of the little coasters . . . I LOVE it

Josh and I took a break from the big coasters for a while and rode some of the smaller rides with Grace and Ian.

After eating a cool, refreshing blue raspberry icee!!!!

 On Tuesday, we went to the Indian's game, which was Josh's first MLB game!

I have a few more pictures from our date on Wednesday night, but those'll have to wait till later!
