summer on the road...

we have spent the first half of the summer traveling ALOT. first we went to india, then to louisiana for a fews days, then to texas to go to a wedding of students we worked with during seminary, and then, to atlanta for the fourth of july to visit my aunt and uncle. it was so fun seeing my family often and visiting with old friends, but we so happy to be home! we don't have any big road trips planned until thanksgiving so we are living it up in cookeville for the next few months!

in atlanta john aaron ran his very first 10k...go ja! every year me, my uncle, and brother run the peachtree 10K (which happens to be the largest 10k in the world). along with 60,000 other runners and super hot temperatures we finished the race in 1:02. we also took levi to the zoo and the aquarium where he kinda looked at some of the animals :)

he thought this was fun to stick his head through.

walking through the tunnel!

mr. and mrs. symank :) we love our students we worked with in texas and it was so fun to catch up with them. levi stayed in shreveport with my mom and dad because he was recovering from an ear infection (pre-tube surgery). in december we will go back for lindsay (bottom center) and brandon's (left by ja) wedding where i will be a bridesmaid! i am so honored to be a part of their wedding. caris (bottom left) is the maid of honor and these girls are sweet, lifetime friends!

for the rest of the summer we plan on doing lots of playing!

happy summer!
