Better late than never!

These past few months have be action packed for me. Here is what I have been up to.

****My Cousin Sarah returned home from Louisiana, where she was attending college. She had a get together at my Grandma's house for her return home. Sarah even made everyone delicious food she loved while in Louisiana (which we loved too), it was so fun! We are glad she is home in Danville again.

Me, Sarah & Natalie at the party

That night consisted of a game our family has been playing for years. We like to call it the 'tile game' & you will find us playing it at most family gatherings!

Kirsten, Natalie, Sarah & I playing a round that night.

****Ken's sister graduated from Law School a few months ago. She worked so hard, and we are all so proud of her. She is now working in San Francisco at a firm named Shook Hardy & Bacon. Way to go Ashley!

Jarrett, Ashley, Me & Ken out celebrating the night she graduated.

****In June, we went camping at Salt Springs for Shawn's birthday. We went with a group of 8 people and had the best time. We love camping & were happy to spend Shawn's birthday with him!

Hanging around the campsite

....and playing in the river!

****One of my best friends, Joey, turned 21 so a group of us went to Las Vegas to celebrate in July. We had a great time (despite the weather being 114(!!) we stayed inside most of the time)

Walking the strip at night (was a little cooler than daytime)

Ken and I outside the Venetian

We made it to the Bellagio water show, which is a must see!

On the rooftop of Pure nightclub (my favorite club in Vegas!)

****In August we headed to Maui with Ken's family. We had a great time, and made lots of memories. We stayed super close to the water, it was complete relaxation vacation.

Me, doing a touristy pic :)

We tried paddle-boarding...(although it may look easy, it was extremely difficult. I bailed off the board numerous times)...but we ended up loving the experience and got better with more practice!

Of course windsurfing! (the reason why they take this vacation)

We got to see beautiful sunsets almost every night

Went to yummy restaurants

Ate lots of snow-cones! YUM!

..and spent a lot of quality time together! :)

****My cousins, Sarah & Jessie along with Nat and I have started this new event we like to call 'Bridges Date'. We try (as often as we can) to go to Bridges and spend time together, chatting and laughing. It is so fun and since we go for happy hour and everything is about half price. Can't beat that!

****And of course, I have been spending the rest of my time hanging out with my favorite person ever, my sister!

That is what I have been up to. For now, it is back to school and work. Halloween is right around the corner & I am getting WAY excited! :)
