Visit to Minnesota

As has become one of my summer traditions, I spent a wonderful week in Minnesota spending time with my grandma, my sister, and many friends! My week included many trips to Caribou Coffee (yes, I went every single morning, and my favorite drink is still the "Mint Condition")...and many games of Scrabble!


I had a wonderful time with my Grandma Dolores. She loves pictures as much as I do, so we spent a lot of time looking through old scrapbooks. I truly love my grandma so much and feel so blessed that I was able to spend so much time with her this past week.

Other highlights of the week included...

...a trip to Covenant Pines (the camp that I attended as a student and later worked as a lifeguard & counselor) on Wednesday. Being at camp always brings back so many wonderful memories. Some of our friends, Nick, Katie, and Andrea, are working there this summer, so it was wonderful to see them! We spent the day going to chapel, helping with the canteen, hanging out with our friends, and enjoying the gorgeous weather.....as much as I love Texas, I do miss the pine trees, lakes, and cool weather of Minnesota (but not the mosquitoes!--both Emmy & I had terrible bug bites after our day at camp!). ;)



...seeing lots of family! Emily & I had dinner with our cousins Krista, Seth, & Heather...plus, I also spent time with my aunt Gail and cousin Anna! (Anna & Krista are both coming to Texas this week, too!)

...visiting Emily at Regis, where she is doing her marketing internship (and running the Hair Extension Hotline!--ha!).

...breakfast with Summer, a friend from Redeemer (the church where we attended in Minnesota). She is also an elementary music teacher, so we had a great time talking about our classrooms.

...a fun day hanging out with Audra & Israel--we walked around Lake Calhoun and also read a few books! :)

...coffee with my sweet high school friends Aili, Gloria, and Audra--we had so much fun catching up!


....my friend Meg's wedding! She and Jake were married on Saturday, and I am so glad I was able to go to her beautiful wedding!
