Nate's First BRAVES Game

Since the Braves were playing in Denver last weekend, Nate just had to go see them since they are his favorite team. Although they ended up losing, it was a pretty awesome game with great seats. We're glad Nate's dream finally came true!

August: Crazy Traveling

In August we enjoyed a lot of trips before I had to go back to work. First I flew to California to visit my brother and his family (including my brand new nephew), next Nate and I went to Bear Lake with Trev and Shan which included watching a play at the Pickleville Playhouse, and finally we made a road trip out to Denver to see my other brother and his family. It's been quite the summer of fun!

Hello to all you blog checkers out there! This is a test. A test I hope that you will be able to be a part of with me. A test to see how long Mr. Atlanta Braves gnome can remain on this site before Kayla plucks the poor little guy from his blog paradise. Speaking of which, did I mention Kayla and I are going to my first Braves game ever?!! Bless it be!!!!

July: Surgery & Blue Angels

While playing basketball, Nate tore his ACL and had surgery the end of July. Luckily he has been recovering very quickly.

Pre-Surgery: Very Excited and Ready to Go!
Post Surgery: Getting Bored

The Blue Angels also came into town and we were able to watch them from our front yard since we live right by the airport. This is my favorite clip because it shows what kind of neighbors we have enjoying the show from their roof. (Pay close attention to the end of the video).

June: Trip to Haiti

Nate and I had the most amazing experience spending a week in Haiti. We were privileged to go with the Haitian Roots group. Nate interpreted (he was a life-saver!) and I implemented a couple of counseling groups to children and adolescents dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake. It was an unbelievable experience. But when all was said and done, we just enjoyed loving and playing with the children at the orphanages. We couldn't get enough!!

Pictures definitely don't captivate the experience, but here is just a taste...

Haiti was a life-changing experience and it was very difficult to leave. We both definitely have a new perspective on life. We hope we can return again soon!!
