Cedarville 2009...

This past weekend Brian, I and our friends went up to Cedarville in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This trip has turned into an annual event & we were fortunate enough to participate once again!

The weekend includes boating, fishing, sunbathing, bbqing, drinking, campfires and just hanging out relaxing with friends! It is a GREAT time.

The piled in 3 boats and made our way to the Islander bar..Laura & I.

Jenna & I

A beautiful group of girlfriends! I am blessed!

The next day we went boating and we made a pit stop at a friends boat house to do a little jumping!

Jenna and I climbed to the top of the boathouse & jumped off! 30 Feet!

This year Brian was determined not to loose his suit boating, tubing and wake surfing!! He brought suspenders just in case!! Funny!

This year Macare & I planned the 1st annual beer Olympics! And it was a riot! The events included: beer pong, flip club, blind folder lemon drop hunt, orange & banana pass and a slip & slide replay!

A group pictures of all the Olympians!

Brian & his green team: Ben, Kate & Macare!

And my blue team: Mike, Jessica, Jason, Lindsay and I!

Even thought the competition was stiff-my team lost and Brian's won in a tie- we still came out in love!
It was an awesome weekend! Made even more special by celebrating my birthday with 20 of our friends! We are so blessed!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary to us! To celebrate our three years of wedded bliss Brian & I made a little day trip to Charlevoix this past weekend...





We walked around town, ventured down to the pier, grabbed some drinks on the patio at Whitney's Oyster bar & some food later..capped of by some ice cream!

To my wonderful husband & best friend...Happy Anniversary!




I LOVE YOU!!




ps. Leather is the traditional 3rd anniversary gift: Brian surprised me with training session for the two of us at Trigger Boxing! Get it? Boxing gloves = leather. And it was amazing..and we were amazingly sweaty! Thankfully still happily married & no black eyes :) to report.

July Visitors...

This past weekend Rick, Terri, Cindy Dave & Ashley, part of the Ohio family, came to visit Brian & I in Traverse City! We didn't end up taking that many pictures because we were busy having too much fun!
Friday night we did a champagne sunset cruise on Grand Traverse Bay and it was beautiful!

We were obviously having fun but something was really funny..
