Wedding invitations on top of Karen's wedding dress box

Haha

Inviting people to your wedding is very labor intensive.

Beautifully prepared food at the wedding shower.

Cheers to the happy couple!

Great words of wisdom.

Some Photos from the Past Month

I love when it's cloudy in Red Rock.

Interesting graffiti at Red Rock overlook

Adam and I took a trip the Utah hills a few weekends ago - this is the Snake Pit climbing area...luckily no snakes that I saw!

While driving home we came across an old gypsum mine/hole.  I was in all my nerdy glory and brought home probably 10 pounds.  Pretty cool to see the vein.

Dan Russel once again hooked us up with a nice evening at his aunt and uncle's house out here.  Adam and Pete were lookers!!

I think Pete won the award for best shoes.

Dan's aunt and uncle put on a fundraiser for M.D. Anderson Cancer center at the Wynn the next day where Larry King interviewed Football Hall of Fame-er Franco Harris.  Probably the most awkward interview I've ever witnessed.

However, Franco was super nice when I stalked him afterward to get an autograph for my Grandpa who's a big Steelers fan.

Burro Series

Cute little fuzzy baby.

Granite exfoliation at its finest

When Adam and I got back from Ohio we amazingly unpacked and then repacked all in one day so that we could take off for Shuteye Ridge (which is on/in the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California) as soon as possible. We has a great and very relaxing time hiking, mountain biking. laying in the hammock and climbing. I can't believe another summer has almost bit the dust! Just trying to enjoy my last few days!

Ohio!

Glacial Grooves - Kelley's Island

Gina and I almost got thrown off of the golf cart a couple times - had to buckle up!

MIGHT be about time to leave the nest
