LILY or BOSCO?

You be the judge?!?!?!

Jill picked out her chocolate lab on Saturday morning and here she is. Now she just needs a name. Which name fits the dog? She wants your help. She chose her dog from a liter of 7 and had trouble deciding between the three we are holding because they are so darn cute. She will have her dog in a few weeks so all your input is needed before then for the name. Bonus points will be rewarded if you can figure out where the names came from.

Just in case you missed Justin's blog. Here is one of the funniest moments of our trip to Cinci. Frenzy this is for you.

We spent the 4th of July up in Baldwin at a cottage for the week and had some amazing conversation, weather, food, drinks, and card games. The best part was being with some of our friends that we don't get to see much these days but love more than anything in the world. This place is so peaceful in the morning, noon, and nighttime, despite the firework display that Justin and Ron put on for us.



As I approach the end of July I look forward to being done with school and having my MSW. I only have 2 more weeks of classes after today and cannot believe that it is over already! I am ready for the REAL world! A world where I have a job where vacation time is planned, where it is possible to recieve a salary above $20,000, and a world where I have to be an adult with no question. I hope I am mature and ready enough for this! I would appreciate your prayers as I begin job searching and hopefully do some interviewing.

Justin and I traveled to the Upper Peninsula (God's Country according to our father-in-law) this past weekend. We crossed the bridge, ate some pasties, jerky, and drank some beer. That is what the UP has to offer in a nutshell. We saw an amazing sunset, sat by a campfire and ate some s'mores, at cheese curds and had an allergic reaction, ate Riverside pizza, went to Andy's class reunion and sang some karaoke, and saw lots of deer. I realized there are more deer in the UP than people and there are more restaraunts closed than are open. One thing the UP does have to offer though is beauty, natural beauty. Everything is green and beautiful. It was fun to spend time with family.
