Last Tuesday, Joel, Abby and I started on our journey to Denver, Colorado! We had a layover in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and we were able to have a lovely lunch of brats and hotdogs. I was going to visit my friend Rachel for her highschool graduation. We all had a blast and will visit again soon! The plane trips, however, were tiring. We were able to visit a new state, though. When we arrived, the air was clean and thin, the people were friendly and the mountains were absolutely gorgeous! I was still amazed everytime I looked outside to see the Rockies! They seemed so close! I will always love them for their beauty and for helping me to know what direction is West, hehe.
Pictures of Rachel's graduation! There were only four graduates this year: Joe Lewin, Christina Deloglos, Jordan Koplin, and Rachel Porter. The graduation of 2008 was on June 7th. It was fun but sad because Rachel is growing up! *tear tear* I am happy for all four graduates and pray that God will give them the faith to keep moving on and that he will make straight their paths and they will not grow weary as they move on!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5
I love you all my friends and family! I love the fun times we have had together!
Daniel you are so cute! And apparently I have third cousins ;) We all match in the picture! I love you Stephanie and Sabrina, even though we just met! 
Amanda and I had fun with the camera!
I have pictures of St. Mary's Glacier in the Rockies. When we lived in Colorado, this was our family's special spot and we went here almost every year as a special tradition. When we visited, the Longtines graciously offered to take Abby and I here. When we got there, however, the trail was packed full of snow and we lost the trail....
I will always miss and love my dear friends in Colorado! Stephanie thanks for being such a goof so I could take funny pictures! Thankfully you didn't really fall off the mountain! :) Thank you Mrs. Longtine for taking us to the mountains and thank you Mr. and Mrs. Porter for caring for me and for sparing your daughter (and your car) so we could have a fun-filled week!
For Memorial Day, we were invited by the Walters to the Gregory's house for a picnic. We usually don't do anything for Memorial Day, but there is always room for improvement in our schedule. There were lots of friends there and we were blessed with the fellowship of them. There was also lots and lots of delicious food. Everyone brought their own meat, and something to share with the bunch. To add to the excitement, we also had an exciting time kayaking and canoeing on the lake that surrounds the Gregory's house. I was especially encouraged to see God's grace in the lives of our fellow church friends at work when we were playing and conversing with one another. He was truly blessed us, as well as our beautiful country, the United States, and has made me realize how his perfect plan has been used to set us up in a place where we will never starve or want. I have recently just been thinking about all the things that the U.S. men and women have done for our country in the past, during all the wars, and have been especially grateful for being able to live in an easier state than those past days of war and depression. All my prayers go to the families who have lost loved ones and I pray that they will feel the comfort of God's hand in their lives and his grace towards them as well. Grace and Peace!
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dace
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gathers stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
