NEW YORK!

I am writing this post from the couch in my parents house! We left TN on Wednesday morning and drove to Akron, Ohio to stay at my (Jaryn's) Uncle David & Aunt Jody's house. We had a very nice time visiting with them, and on Thursday morning we headed out for our next stop in Buffalo, NY at Nic's Uncle Phil & Aunt Kelley's house for lunch. It was great to see them and our cousins, and we had a delicious lunch! Finally, later in the afternoon, we headed on to Canandaigua.

We had a very busy weekend! On Thursday night a bunch of people came over to my parents house and we hung out for a while. Friday we spent most of the day with Nic's family for his brother, Luke's, high school graduation. Saturday was spent with Jaryn's family at her cousin Abbie's wedding. Finally, we spent Sunday morning with Jaryn's aunts and uncles, having brunch at her parents' house, and in the afternoon we went to a surprise party for a cousin. Finally, later on Sunday afternoon, we took Nic to the airport to fly back to TN to work for a few days. That was the lamest thing ever, but he'll be back in just a few days and we'll have another super busy weekend! So there is quite a bit to look forward to!

Trip to Ohio

Ok, here are some videos that we took on our trip to Ohio at the end of May!

We got off the highway for a few minutes to search for a local attraction called the Wigwam Village Inn, in Cave City, KY! haha this is something that I read about in a magazine and I just HAD to see it in real life! It was only a couple of miles off the highway, so it wasn't a major detour. As you can tell, I was quite disappointed that Nic wouldn't pull over so I could take pictures! haha!

Part of our trip through Kentucky... it was quite a long drive!

Ok, well these take a long time to upload, so that is all you are going to get for now! Hope you enjoy them!

Busy Busy Busy!

Well, it looks like its been a little while since I have posted on here. I need to put some pictures up... perhaps tomorrow? Anyways, we have been quite busy lately, and have some exciting things coming up, as well!

School is out for the summer, so Jaryn has been enjoying her time off from substitute teaching. She is taking three Praxis exams this summer (1 on June 13th and 2 on July 25th), so once those are finished with, she should be able to pursue a Tennessee teaching license. Hopefully she will have that set by the fall so that she can put applications out.

Nic is still enjoying his job. Today he interviewed at Argosy University, for their graduate program in counseling. He has also applied to Trevecca Nazarene and Tennessee State. The hope is for him to be able to start a program in the fall, which is very exciting! It is the next step in his ultimate goal of becoming a therapist.

At the end of May we took a weekend road trip to Ohio for Jaryn's couin Jesyca's wedding. It was a great trip, and it was wonderful to be with family! Our next trip will be to New York in just a few weeks!! We will be there for Nic's brother's graduation and the weddings of two more of Jaryn's cousins. We are very much looking forward to being able to spend time with family and friends! The exact dates of the trip will be June 24th-July 6th. Nic won't be there the whole time (he has to work Mon-Thurs, and he will be flying from Rochester to Nashville and back). Contact us to make plans!!

Well I think that about sums it up for now. We are enjoying the beautiful (but occasionally stormy) weather down here, and taking advantage of the great pool that our apartment complex has. We are also working with the youth group at our church and really enjoying that as well. Ok, well look for some pictures, and even some videos, to come soon! Hopefully I will add them tonight or tomorrow, but I am trying to study for my test so we'll see.
