CAMPING!!!

Hanging out at night by the fire...

So, this is "Manny," the mannequin that Seth and some of the others kept scaring us with while we were camping. It was kind of a stressful weekend because we were always waiting for the next prank...

GRETA'S HOUSE!!

When Karin was visiting from Michigan/Sweden, we went to the Johnson's house and swam in their pool. While, actually only Ellie and Greta swam. Karin could not swim because she's allergic to chlorine and Katie diagnosed herself with the same problem....because is was freezing...but we had lots of fun hanging out.

DOWNTOWN MACY'S!!

And of course, Ellie's favorite Kitchen Aid...

On Friday night...

we had a birthday party at our house. Steph wanted to help decorate by blowing up some balloons....but it was a little harder than she thought it would be!

Why I Love 2520

Hello all of you 2520 readers out there (and a special shout out to our anonymous readers, especially RS, you know who you are). This is a guest post from Courtney, a former 2520 resident. While the girls are playing DDR I thought I would let all of their readership know how much I love and appreciate them. So here are some top reasons why I love the 2520 girls (and hopefully you will see that you should love them, too!).

1. They make me love Jesus more. Not only do they point me to him constantly, but their lives reflect a genuine love for the Savior.
2. They make me laugh. Awkward moments. Enough said.
3. They are such fun girls!
4. They are not afraid to tell me the truth.
5. They love God's Word.
6. They love God's people (families, singles, and children).
7. They are extremely hospitable. I have never seen girls open their home like they do!
8. They consider me a sister (and life-long roommate).
9. They would drop everything for a friend in need, and they will cry with me when I need a good cry.
10. They pushed me to run the "Courtney Marathon."

P.S. They are all single!

doesn't seem like you get your money's worth...

These are two pictures of a newly opened bag of chips. Although, I think the chips were crushed.

But still, Trent can't believe it...

But Katie doesn't seem to care...
