Girl's Trip

 Because of Covid, the Nine (my GI friends) has not gotten together much over the last year and a half.  We did Zoom wine nights, but we all missed each other.  We decided we needed to get away for a few days this summer.    Hayley found a house in the country north of Omaha that looked perfect for what we wanted: a place to get away and relax together.

The backyard sold us on the property, and we definitely used it!


We drove to Omaha first for dinner and shopping.


About two miles away from our VRBO, I got pulled over.  Thankfully, it was just a warning.


The place had a game room with ping pong, air hockey, darts, and other games.


We divided into groups to plan and make meals and drinks.  It went really well.




They had a bunch of walking trails on the property.

These cows just stared at us.  It was like they had never seen people.

Enjoying the hot tub

The breakfast crew

We went to a nearby lake that morning.  
Looking like a nun to protect my scalp :)



Danielle made us all T-shirts, so that night we had to have a photo shoot.



Megan couldn't come on the trip with us, and she was definitely missed!



Our friendipede from oldest to youngest


Jackie and I were in charge of supper the second night.






The next morning on our way out, we went to a little shoppe that has earned the award of world's best cinnamon rolls.  They were pretty amazing!

We had the best time together! 
 I am so thankful for these girls and the relationship we can still have even though I moved away.

Doniphan Diabetes Dash #4

Our friends, Matt and Abby, hosted their fourth Doniphan Diabetes Dash in June.  
Monroe and I set a goal to run the 1 mile without stopping. She did great!

Zach ran/walked with the boys.  Graham wanted to run more than Pierce did, so he took off ahead of them.

Hanging out with Newell friends



We love supporting Matt and Abby as they raise money for families who have children with Type 1 Diabetes.

So excited to have Lexi Sun back!!

Last day of school surprise


Our favorite ice cream shoppe



Last year I had a lot of trouble with bunnies eating my flowers.  This year I made sure to plant flowers bunnies don't like. Apparently, it doesn't matter what I plant.  They're going to eat it.
All of the leaves of my geranium were chewed off and left in a pile!

I've never had a coleus eaten before.  And look at that spike!
I finally moved all of my pots up higher so that they couldn't be eaten.

A short pick-up ride with the neighbors




Pickleball with my parents at the new courts in town
