Summer Visitors

My parents came into town to visit!

It was so much fun showing them what

we have been up to in Ohio!

They were here for an entire week and

it went by way too fast.

They both really enjoyed the area.

Of course we made it to the West Side Market.

Dan gave my parents a tour of the dental school.

We dined in Little Italy.

Walked on the beaches of Lake Erie.

We headed down to Amish Country and also

visited the Smucker's headquarters.

We toured the historical Lakeview Cemetery.

My Dad and Dan worked so hard to find

a decent used bike.

This is a beauty!

Dan is so excited about it!

We ate way too much good food,

visited all kinds of museums,

and relaxed on our porch in the nice weather.

Thank you Mom & Dad!

We already miss you!

4th of July

We spent our 4th of July with our close friends.

We ate great food all day, played ladder ball,

and watched fireworks downtown!

I love Independence Day celebrations!

They never get old.

I love having good friends in Ohio

to celebrate holidays with.

P.S. This is my 100th post as a blogger! Hooray!!

Performance Night

This weekend was so much fun!

We had our first two performances for

"This is Kirtland!".

All of the hard work has paid off!

The show is beautiful.

Here we are in our 1830's period clothing.

We play a married couple in the play,

which is very fun!

This is our stage daughter, Emma.

She is so darn cute, and we have loved

getting to know her.

Last night was the best night so far!

I was a happy dancer!

Two more weekends of performances left!

Come and see!

Information found here.

This Is Kirtland!

It is opening night for This Is Kirtland!

We are so excited!!

It has been so much fun rehearsing

and learning how to act, sing, and dance.

We have made so many new friends

and have loved getting to know the history

of those early saints in Kirtland, Ohio.

After rehearsal the other night,

we celebrated our success and ate some

delicious yogurt at Legacy Village.

Legacy Village is an outdoor mall.

It is really fun to walk around and window shop.

The yogurt was very good!

I am so excited to perform.

It has been several years since I was

on stage and I am loving this opportunity.

There is something so exciting about

getting ready in hair and make-up,

rehearsing parts,

and taking your first steps on stage.

It is so much fun!

Dan snapped this picture of me getting ready.

This is us after our final dress rehearsal!

We will post more pictures of us in our costumes

after this weekend of performances!

If you are in the area, come and see!

Wish us luck!
