Crazy couple of weeks!

Well hello friends. Sorry I have been a bit out of the loop with my blog. I am sure you have been checking religiously to see an update from "The Chrismans"! It has been a busy last couple of weeks and from the looks of the calendar, things are just getting started....
June 12th.... went to Butch Camp... Yeah... you read it correctly... it is called B-U-T-C-H camp! It is an annual event that takes place at the lake with 6 of my high school friends. There is only one expectation that I have for Butch Camp every year... and that is a GREAT TIME! We eat ALOT, drink some (after the recreational activites of course), do the aqua jogger, take wonderful boat rides, play catch phrase, laugh until your stomach hurts, and last but definately not least, play who can prove that they are the biggest facebook stalker with the juicest info from Parkview's finest. If you can't tell... It is a blast.
June 15th- Virginia to see Justin... Sally and I packed up the Altima(gets way better gas mileage than the Pilot... Rick made a deal... I pay for gas... you drive your car... I took that deal! We made it to Virginia on one tank of gas and we had 78 miles to spare) and drove nine hours to Portsmouth,VA. This is where Justin currently lives. Justin is the youngest of my three older brothers(I am acting like some distant strager reads my blog). It was such a wonderful trip. My mom and I had a lot of bonding time. It really hit me during the trip that my relationship with my mom has definately shifted to like a best friend relationship. We have always been super close but it is just a different type of relationship now that I am such a grown up. Justin was so wonderful. I miss the days in Auburn where he lived four minutes from me. I really just miss him. He is so good to me and loves me eventhough he has had to put up with me for 23 years! I got to go to his workplace at the shipyard... He is a true GI JOE!!! I walked into his building and looked on the wall on the right side and there was justin's picture with the title, Officer in Charge. It made me so happy that I could call him my brother. I am so proud of you Justin and the wonderful Navy man that you have become. Your work ethic glorifies the Lord so much and because of your dedication and Leadership, young men are seeing the Lord's love. Thanks for the great visit. I can't wait to see you July 4th. (Pictures to come)
June 21st........Father's Day.. Kyle and I had my family over for a cookout. It was so fun to be with them.... I love my Dad so much and appreciate his love, support, and laughs along the way. It is also great to see my brother, Jacob as a father. He has two little girls that give him a run for his money everyday! Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads! Kyle is going to celebrate Fathers Day with his dad this coming weekend because his dad was out of town this past weekend. Happy Fathers Day Ken!
YAY FOR THE WEEKEND!!! I am leaving in the morning to go to the beach for Maggie's batch party! We will be in Panama City for the weekend. It is going to be a great time. Be looking for pictures next weekend. I will miss you Kyle.. Enjoy the house to your self and some freedom away from your wife.... And to my sweet friend Mary Lindsey.... Have a great time this weekend... I wish I could be there but I know you are going to have a blast......
