I turned 46 and it was time for my first colonoscopy. Kit was at nationals with Eden so… because my best friend, who’s also my sister, but is also a PACU nurse, my Colie came to be with me and drive me.

He’s legal!
On July 13, Ryder got his driver’s license.
When he drove away that first time, I vividly remember thinking “my life and our life as a family just significantly changed…”
I’m SO excited for him, but feeling all the feelings that come with watching your kids grow up…

It’s a love/hate relationship
Every year, I do my annual breast cancer screening, and every year, I absolutely hate it. HOWEVER, I love that screening can save lives, so here we are, a love/hate relationship.

Nationals, here they come!
Kit and Eden left for Seattle today to join her team for Nationals.
I can’t wait to hear all about it! I’m just so proud of her!

They are back!
This weekend, the kids came back from camp and they had such an amazing time!
We are so grateful for all that God has done over the week and what he will continue to do for these incredible students and leaders!

Here are some photos from while the kids were away at camp: dates with Kit, gardening, crafting, doctors appointments, morning walks, thrifting, movie nights, and having friends over for the world cup…
