In March we celebrated my 23rd birthday! It was so much fun. We had about twenty friends show up to celebrate at buffalo wild wings, including some very old family friends, Casey and Jessica Videtto! I grew up with these guys in Colorado and found out a few months prior that Casey and his (very pregnant with twins) wife Amy, were living in MA. and had started attending our church! Jessica just happened to be visiting at the time. The evening was a blast, however I can't say the same for the next day! Dave and Jacqueline ended up catching a stomach bug and it landed Dave a nice nights stay in the ER. Thankfully, Kyleigh and Myself were able to steer clear of catching it though! Dave recovered but is forever opposed to eating at BWW!

In April we made an appearance in Colorado to spend some time with family and to celebrate Jacqueline's 3rd birthday!!! That's right, she's 3!!! I have no idea where the time has gone. She has grown so much and has so much personality! We had a blast for her birthday swimming and having a BBQ with lots of family and friends! I even got to meet up with my Best friend from the 2nd grade who has a son about the same age as Jacqueline! We spent Easter with our great friends the Thomsons! We always have a blast with them and the girls really enjoyed Easter egg hunting.

In June Dave finished with his school year at Mystic valley. He is still currently working for Starbucks in the evenings but will be through with that when school starts back up in August. On June 30th My sister and I drove, yes I said drove, out to Colorado! It took us 31 hours from Benton, PA. but we made it almost straight through with only 3 hours of stopping time for rest! While the girls had a blast, it was a pretty rough trip for me because there is a lot of family drama going on that revolves around my sister. I was trying to show her love without supporting some bad decisions that she was making. When we made it to Colorado we helped move my sister into her new house, went to Water World Theme Park, and spent a lot of time with family! Over all it was a pretty good time and I got to stay for 3 weeks. Dave flew down on the 7th of July to join us, and Dave's brother Dan joined us on the drive back to MA.
We made it back to MA. on July 21st and Dave's brother Dan stayed with us until the 30th! We took him to the beach a couple of times but mostly just hung out at the house! We figure he's been here enough times that we are past all the touristy stuff:) He even got to join us for one of our Restoration Road Church meetings and got to hear about all the progress and plans we have been making there.
Currently, we are getting ready for Dave to start up teaching again on August 17th. We started the Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover Book to help us make a plan for getting out of debt (mostly student loans), which means no extra spending for a while! This is gonna be hard for us but hopefully the outcome is worth it:)
And lastly, Restoration Road will have it's first service on September 9th!!!!! I can't beleive we are so close to launching! God has really blessed us and everything seems to be falling into place! I am very excited/nervous/sad about this. The sad part being that I will miss seeing all of our seven mile friends every Sunday! Also in September we will be celebrating Kyleigh's 1st birthday! I have no idea where the time has gone! I feel as though I just had her yesterday! Not sure wether or not we will have a big celebration for this or not but I will keep you posted if we do! Also, Kyleigh has already begun to take steps on her own! It looks like she will be right on track with Jacqueline who was walking by 11 months!
That's all I have for now but stay posted for more:)
