Arizona Fun

Well, seeing as how Nathan and I are going back to AZ in a week, I decided it might be a good idea to write about the last time I was there :)
I had two weeks off between my clinical year of PA school and the summer research semester so I decided to go to AZ. Nathan didn't have enough vacation days and was still getting settled in at his new job so he didn't join me. I had such a great time! Grady took us to all the beautiful model homes that nobody is buying because of the wonderful economy and me and Mom got some decorating ideas. She was embarrassed to say she was looking for herself so she kept telling the sales people that I was living in NY but wanted to buy a house in AZ and move there...haha keep dreaming Ma! We did so many fun things!!!

Outside Grady's School after his band concert, he's so awesome!!


I'm proud to say the Olsen family finally beat the Smelser's at this year's baseball game!!! We were so excited the Lewis family decided to join us too. Now all we need is for Maeg and Whit to be there. Yay, for neighborhood reunions!


Grady's baseball team, the Yankees, had several play-off games while I was there - he is the greatest pitcher EVER!!! Go Yankee's!!!!

Kevin and Lauren's Wedding

We had a wonderful weekend! Not only were 2 of our favorite people sealed together but we also got to see some amazing family. We went through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky to get there and one speeding ticket later (it was my fault, I fell asleep and he can't control his speed unless I'm watching over his shoulder) we made it to Cincinnati! We stayed with Uncle Lyle, Aunt Janet, and Ashlee. We had delicious Norwegian pancakes, lots of snowies and a very fun time. The wedding was also so so so wonderful! I was planning to be very critical of Kevin to make sure he was good enough for one of my best friends and he was. He was so sweet to her and I could tell he was going to make her very happy! I forgot how much I missed being around Lauren and we had such a blast! Lauren was absolutely gorgeous of course! I also got to spend some quality time with Melissa (poor Target employee - never seen anyone blush quite like that). On our way home we stopped in Columbus to play with Adam, Amber and Shane! I think it was a perfect weekend! Sorry if the pictures look bad - I took them from facebook :)
