Why, I'm his third cousin's brother's wife's step niece's great aunt! Twice removed.

(I would have posted sooner, but I've been having trouble uploading pictures to blogger so I had to figure out another way to do it. Hopefully it works!)

We have been spending a lot of our time during this trip visiting with friends and family. I met all sorts of people who I never knew I was related to!

This is the family of my mom’s best friend from college. We spent our first few nights with them in Virginia and had a great time!

Next we visited another one of mom’s college friends, Lynn, in Connecticut. Her husband and middle child, Natalie, are not in this photo. On the left are her daughters Hannah and Gracie. They were so sweet!

While we were there, we went walking around their cute town with Gracie and got milkshakes.

On Memorial Day, we watched their town’s parade.

This one is for my Grandma. She’s very proud of her Scottish heritage and I knew she’d want to see this!

That same day, we drove to my second cousin’s house for a cookout.

Mom, her cousin Jane, and Jane’s daughter Christine.

This is my Grandma F’s brother Billy and his wife, Pat! They were so sweet. :)

We had a great time visiting with everyone! This is all my Grandma F’s side of the family. It’s hard to keep track of how I’m related to all of them! All sorts of second-cousin-once-removed stuff!

East Coast!

Tomorrow we leave for our trip up the east coast! We had to cut this trip short two years ago because of my classes but this time we're going all the way up to Maine and Canada. We should be getting my computer back before we leave (yes, it got ANOTHER virus...definitely switching virus protection! But don't worry, I made sure all my pictures were backed up this time!) so I'll try to blog as we travel. :)

Volleyball Tournament

Here's a highlight video I made of our game last week! I'm the one in the gray shirt.

Pictures from "Esther!"

Last week I received my photo CD and DVD of "The Story of Esther!" Here are some of my favorite pictures.

This is my friend Hannah and me stretching before the show. There is a little coffee place right next to the theater, so we picked up some frappes!

Here's my friend Bekah and me waiting in the dressing room for our scene.

That's my adorable little Hebrew girl, Carlie!

There they go! She loved this part and giggled the whole time :)

Can you spot me in the back there? This scene showed the Hebrews in their village. Right after this, the guards came to take all the virgins to the palace.

This scene comes much later in the show, but it is also one of my favorites! This is the celebration that Haman is forced to put on for Mordecai. This dance is so fun!

Our dramatic pointing at Haman...

The whole cast! What a fun show! I can't wait for this year's--we're doing Snow White!

Hello World!

I'm back! To the blogging world, that is. As you can see my posting has been a bit slow. Over the next few days I'll post some recaps about what we've been doing.

P.S.
My background was acting weird so I switched to this one. Isn't it cute?
