Camp Rock

Life hasn't gotten any slower or more boring since the last I wrote...

We had a great week at Camp with our youth group!  The theme for the week was Worship, as a lifestyle.  The preaching was great and I think the teens really got a lot out of it.  We had zero problems with the teens, they all did an amazing job and I think we are all excited to go back next year!




Steven and I had to leave early, because Steven's college best friend was getting married in Detroit that Saturday.  We left Thursday night, LATE, after the last service was over.  We left around 10:30, and got home at 2.  We were EXHAUSTED and I am so thankful we got home safely!  We then left Friday morning at 7 go get Steven to the airport for his flight!  I was lucky to be able to go home and take a nap.

This was my first time spending the night at our new house alone.  It actually wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, ha.  It was nice to have Barkley there to keep me company.  I also got a LOT done at the house- finished up the stairs and did some touch up painting that had been needing to be done.

I got to pick Steven up on Sunday at 6:30.  It was so good to have him home!

Monday was our second anniversary!  We spent the night in Downtown St. Louis and did some fun things there.  We Priceline'd a room, and got the Hyatt Regency for $50... plus, when they saw it was our anniversary they upgraded our room to a corner room, and gave us chocolate covered strawberries!  After checking into the hotel, we went to Union Station and walked around.  We got back and took a much needed nap in the hotel, until it was time for dinner.  We ate at Ruth's Chris, and it was sooooooo good!  After dinner, we went to the Arch because Steven had never been up there before.  When we got to the top, we saw some of Steven's family members there!  It was so crazy.  After the arch, we walked to the City Gardens and looked around at the different sculptures and fountains they have.

Yesterday, we went to Gus' Pretzels for lunch and then to the Science Center.  We headed home early because we were still exhausted.  We had Discipleship last night at church, and it was great as always.

We are so excited to be coming home this weekend!  We haven't been there since the first week of May for Jhon's graduation.  I am a bridesmaid in my cousin, Ali's wedding, and her bridal shower is Saturday so we figured we would make a weekend of it back in good ole KC!
