Women's Retreat

 Our church had a women's retreat on Friday. We played games, talked, ate and had a guest speaker. It was really nice to hang out with all the lady's from church. There was a creek by the retreat and me, Des and Moriah went there to take pictures. We had a great time.

Rainey's 16th Birthday

On August 25th 1995, my mother brought a beautiful baby girl into this world. She named her Rainey.   

Than I had a little sister!!! 

In celebration of her 16th birthday, my parents rented a condo in lincoln city for 2 nights. We had a little sleepover with a few of Rainey's close friends. Although the weather was pretty cold, it was still decent. Anyways we had a great time together. 

On Thursday when we first got to Lincoln City, we went shopping at the Tanger outlet mall. We shopped and shopped and shopped :) Shopping with your friends adds a wonderful de-mention to the whole shopping experience. It is great to get the opinions of your friends before you think about buying something.

Friday we spent some time watching the magic box, and some time chillan on the beach. At night we had a small birthday party for Rainey. It was great fun, hanging out with friends and family just enjoying the warm sand, the ice cold ocean water, and of course the roaring bonfire. At about 11:30 the party died down and we cleaned up. Rainey, Moriah, Grace, and Audrey pulled an all-nighter.

Saturday (today) I woke up at 5:45 AM to watch the sun rise with Audrey. Once we were done we went back to bed for a few hours. After we were all packed up and ready to go, we headed back to the mall to do some more shopping. A few hours later we headed home.

The beach is a magical place and I miss it already.

GIRL PARTY!!! (Viewers Discretion is advised)

Well first thing I kinda feel bad for boys, because they certainly do not get to have as much fun as we do. Just today I was thinking about how crazy my friends and I get when we are just hanging out together. It is always have a blast!! God has blessed me with some rad friends, and a pretty cool sister :)

This time we met up at the McMillians, and we ended up having a soap hay-day on their trampoline!

First we poured on the soap, then spread it around with our feet, than we jumped :)

The face that I am making in the picture below pretty much sums up the whole expirence

Rainey posing :) check out those pearly whites (she got braces)

So slippery!!

Our beautiful feet!

Soaking up the sun, and sliding around on a wet and soapy trampoline was pretty fun! Maybe the only thing that compares is when we jumped on the trampoline in the rain at night :D One of those things that is only fun pretty much once.

Summer is great!
