August 2019 Happenings



Matthew and I spent the first weekend of August camping at Hinterland.  It was absolutely amazing!  We had such fun together, got to meet a lot of new and old friends, eat yummy food, relax, and hear great music.  Some of our favorite concerts were Hozier, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile, Kasey Musgraves, Maggie Rogers, Jade Bird, Colter Wall, The Dead South, Jon Mooreland, The War and Treaty, and Dawes.  If we can, we'll definitely do it again next year!  We'll be buying a tent with a roof and screen around it to stay out of the sun next year though:)


The very next weekend we got to go to a cabin in northeast Iowa.  We hiked 2 State Parks, Pike's Peak and Backbone and a Yellow River forest and canoed the Wisconsin River.  The cabin was absolutely beautiful and it was so great spending time with Shanna, Mike, Liam, and Eleanor.  



Matthew and I had a date at the Iowa State Fair.  Terry Clark, Pam Tillis and Suzy Boggus were playing a free concert.  They even played our wedding song:)



Carter started his sophomore year of highschool, Lanie 8th grade and my 18th year teaching.  Amazing how time flies.





It has already been 2 years since family pictures.  This time I wanted inside pictures and JCPenneys was highly recommended.  I thought they did a great job and the family was awesome being flexible with different poses and smiling right away.  I thought the pictures captured our family truly.
