Family
On the way home from Philly, we got to stop in Atlanta to see my sister and brother in law, Addison, and their beautiful girls, Harper and Elliott. It was great!
Bryan and Harper and Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta
Harper playing in the Olympic Ring Fountain
Superman Vanilla? Ice Cream and an amazing face in the CNN center.
Kelly and Addison
Elliott- she's such a cutie!
After Atlanta, it was on to Tulsa, where my parents had purchased Guitar Hero! Mid- life crisis? Maybe... But lots of fun anyhow!
Dad, becoming and expert on the Guitar- He looks a little crazed....
Dad and Bryan...gotta love a little manly competition!
Me and my hubby!
Another classic, and always expected, Bryan face.

IT Philly
Filling you in on the last of Philly...
"Wayumi" the New Tribes base in Jersey Shore, PA where we spent a great weekend learning about reaching Tribals all over the world.
Visiting the tribe
A great friend of ours, Jamie Hipp, teaching our students about China. He lived in Northwest China for two years before he came on staff with our church as the International Missions pastor. His wife, Jenny, lived in Taiwan for two years as well. We get to stay with them when we are off the road in Dallas, they are so great! We love the Hipps!
Very excited about the Liberty Bell...
Hindu Temple visit with our students in Bridgewater, NJ
Angela and I with our ER passes when Hannah broke her foot running. Oh what a night!
Last Night of the Project- what a sweet end to an amazing summer!

Ewoo visits Philly! Yeah! Her and Rebecca the day we picked her up (and accidently made it to New Jersey, and ALL the bad parts of Philly) before we made it to this amazing Chocolate Cafe.

Small Group Weekend
Every year at IT we send the small groups away for a weekend with each other to really bond and have a fun break during the project. Being in Philly- we are only a few hours away from DC and a little over an hour away from New York City, which has been so fun for this weekend!
This summer I don't have a small group so that I can meet with each of our leaders once a week, so my very small group of just me-stayed here in Philly for the weekend, and it was so much fun!
I loved being able to explore the city and just do whatever sounded fun for the weekend. So aside from catching up on sleep (I slept for almost 12 hours Friday night- and it was glorious!) I had a picnic in the park to some Accordian music, saw City Hall all lit up with William Penn on top,
The Philly Museum of Art (and the Rocky Steps!) the 'LOVE' statue,
Independence Hall & some other historical buildings,
Carpenter's Hall, where the first Continental Congress met,
and even made it down to Penn's landing on the river for an Asian festival. It's too bad I had to experience it alone...so I took a little video for you all to enjoy.
I regret not volunteering myself for the dance contest, I feel like I could have given them all a little run for their money...maybe next time.
And to end the day, I had a plate of perfect Chinese dumplings in China town,
and then Bubble tea with my new friend Lin from Beijing!
(Hipps-made me think of you!) Then, I headed home on the train and cried again to P.S. I love you....that movie gets me every time.
What a great weekend!

2 Year Anniversary!
We are getting ready to celebrating 2 years of marriage on June 3rd this coming week! I can't believe it's gone by so fast- it's been an amazing two years- and we can't wait for more to come!
Bryan surprised me with plans for an Anniversary trip to NYC back in the spring for this week and it was so much fun!
We picnic-ed all the way up to NYC!
We spent most of one day in Central Park just enjoying the beautiful day and seeing the park. We found some local shops and got a great lunch to picnic in the park with, too.
Us in front of the famous Central Park fountain...literally. You can't see it.
Afternoon drink at The Boathouse Restaurant in Central Park
