Summer Traveling

This summer is flying by! It's nearly July already! It's crazy!!

So this upcoming Thursday, Rob and I are heading to Reading, PA, which is about 5.5-6 hours away, just outside of Philly, to go to the wedding of our good friends Joel and Nikki. Rob is one of Joel's groomsmen. Rob's old roommate, Brandon, and his wife and new baby will also be there, so it will be like a reunion. These guys try to get together every so often, and when they do, it's just like old times when everyone still lived on the dorm together here at LU (only now, their women are involved too and are friends with each other). I am so thankful that Rob has awesome and godly friends like Brandon and Joel. I know that we three couples will have many more "reunions" for years to come.

After the wedding on the night of the 3rd, we were just planning on heading home the next morning, but Rob's dad called the other day and told us about the big 4th of July celebration going on in DC, which is on our way home, and is close to where Rob's parents live, so we are going to spend our whole day in DC for the 4th. I'm really excited about that! What better place to spend the birthday of our nation than at the nation's capital. It will be a neat experience!

At the end of July we are planning on finally buying a new car!! Hooray! Edna (our current car) is definitely on her last leg. We've been holding out buy a new one, to get all we can out of Edna, but she's just about had it. Every day feels like it could be her last. She's been good to us though, minus a few incidents here and there, and it is actually kind of sad to think of trading her in. She is the first car Rob ever bought, and is the car that we have spent the first 2 years of our marriage in. Even though it is sad...it is more happy because once we get our new car, which has no name yet, we can't wait to travel more!! We have so many places we want to travel to, but haven't been able to since our car is not reliable. Both of us love to travel and spend time together, so we are excited about what upcoming adventures we will experience together!
