illuminate: Update

We just got back from Up North and we had such an a fun time with family! And by the way... sorry that it's been a while since I last posted! We've been gone for the last week :(

The weather Up North was amazing!!! It wasn't humid like it is back at home,and there were no misquitoes, YAY! At home(believe me, I'm not exagerating) they are swarming, it feels like you're under attack!

And also the lake was A LOT warmer than it usually is so we were in it all the time :) It's nice to have a lake to go to so you can cool off!

We were able to spend the week with our Aunt and Uncle, and cousins from Boston that we probably only get to see once a year. So that was really nice!

Something that I've been feeling, epecially since we've been going on a lot of vacations lately, is that once in a while it's just so nice to be at HOME! I don't know about you but this summer has been very busy for my family and we've been gone alot of the time. Ooohh, Home sweet Home!

I know that this might be off topic BUT, I have a prayer request for you all :) My Uncle that lives right next door to me has a pretty seviere disease that is in his liver and colon. And actually if it gets worse it could kill him! But thank God it hasn't gotten that bad :) Latley he has been having some discomfort with the whole colon part of the disease and he could really use some prayer!
he's in Canada right now on a fishing trip so hopefully that will all go smoothly for him.

Thanks ya'll(I think that's right) ;)

Can you believe that school is soon starting up again? Summer just flys by without even saying goodbye to me every year :( I just can never get enough out it!!!

I just wanted to post this because this is probably one of my favorite flowers. This picture I took in like 2 seconds cause we were in a rush to go somewhere. It's just so amazing to me that even whithout the focussing and futzing around whith everything this flower is still so breathtaking and beautiful! I just smile cause God can find ways show himself to us in little things like this :)
