Across the country in days

First off I keep looking at those wedding pictures and hate them. I re-edited them a few days after I posted them because they just looked so dull. I will try and put a few pictures up on this post so you can see the difference. I have also realized that when I post pics on blogger that the saturation/color fades majorly, again very frustrating.

So many people don't know this but I'm moving to DC. I officially left Monday morning with my mom. We drove through Wyoming and most of Nebraska Monday. We then took the trek through Iowa and Wisconsin (detouring a bit) to go see my brother Merrick and his wife Vanessa and two kids in Sussex, Wisconsin. They live just outside Milwaukee.

I have forgotten how great my two nieces are! Avery is almost three and Camryn just turned one. They are crazy cute! Camryn is always happy and just so full of love and joy! She gives me hugs and just openly runs to me with a huge smile on her face. Avery is a genius! She sings Disney songs under her breath too. "I wanna be, where the people are....I wanna see, wanna see em dancin!" Oh and did I mention she loves princesses?

So today we went to a place called Holy Hill. It's a catholic church on the highest hill in eastern Wisconsin surrounded by trees. It was way cool. It's nice to see that there are people not of my faith that still have a strong testimony of Christ and love him dearly.

Today we also went down to Lake Michigan and hung out on the beach for a little bit then went to a brewery. ha ha I know kind of weird to go to a brewery when you don't drink beer, but it was fun. They also make root beer and other sodas. We were able to test them... lots of fun..

So Thursday we will be leaving to head over to DC. I'm nervous yet excited. I have a few friends in the area which makes me feel a little bit better, but this is going to be a huge yet great adventure.

Kenzi's Wedding

So I survived the wedding. It was a bit stressful and it started raining but I was able to pull through. I was bugged with how some of the pictures turned out. I have learned to be more patient and to be able to pay more attention to the focus. Hope you enjoy!
