Life as of late...
Lets start back at the beginning of July so I can just show you how awesome my fourth of July was. It was amazing. Stephen and I went to Chicago-land for Jon and Kait's wedding (see: www.laurajeaneich.wordpress.com/jon-and-kait). Then we got the chance to play with our honorary nephew Joshy Buritto, then we went to Grand Rapids to see our little Miles and Ramona! It was an amazing weekend and we had so much fun seeing all of our families!
And now for my babes in Grand Rapids....
And I hope you are okay with a little nudity...
After the weekend of the fourth came my birthday which I celebrated with Stephen, Liz, Jay, Mom, and Dad at PF Changs. And a few weeks later came our very first wedding anniversary. Naturally, Stephen got me Diet Dr. Pepper, Donuts, and so gorgeous flowers. The perfect gifts.
And now, camp is winding down but summer is far from over as far as I am concerned. There is one more week of camp. This job that I love so much is almost over and I am really bummed about that. But, there is the possibility with continuing on with SpringHill so lets hope for that! I do want to introduce what my life this summer has been like via photos.... so here is a little taste!
SpringHill is wonderful. SpringHill is great. SpringHill makes life better.... but I know it will come to an end.... so it is a good thing there are a bunch of other AWESOME things in my life. For example: Miles Matthew and Ramona Jean came to visit a couple weeks ago...
So blog life is caught up... and life continues! The week after camp, Stephen and I are heading up north with the rest of my family which will be sooo much fun! And then we will hopefully be moving into a new home very shortly after. We are on the hunt so if you know of any awesome apartments in the northwestern Detroit area, let us know!!
Until next time...

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!
At camp. This is the best answer I can provide. Here is the life update: Stephen and I have both left our Mid-Michigan jobs and made the move to the Detroit area. I am working overly-full time at Spring Hill Day Camps in the Detroit area and it is awesome! Stephen is doing some landscaping work for a family friend and we are pretty much thinking full-time about what to do at the end of the summer...
This is the big question. What are we doing at the end of the summer? Our standard answer to each other has been "I don't know, I love you." But as of late it has changed a bit... we have begun making some hard and fast decisions about where we want to live and what we need to do to pursue what is best for us. Basically, we are still planning on leaving it entirely up to God by saying we WILL move to Florida in September if I do not get a job with Spring Hill full time. That being said, there is no job budgeted for Day Camps right now so the likelihood of Florida being the answer is much greater than staying in the Detroit area. Truly, we want to stay in the Detroit area for one more year, build up some stability, and potentially move down at the end of NEXT summer, but maybe God just wants us to leap and have no stability. This is our constant prayer and discussion so feel free to pray for us as well! What we do know is that we do not want to stay in the Detroit area to do jobs that we hate for another year...
So anyway, other than we are loving living in a "normal" town and living near my parents pool.... the month and a half or so that we spent apart was really tough but we made it through and I do believe it was an important experience for us to have as a couple and I am now thankful for it now that it is over... aaaaand that was a really long fun-on sentence. Don't judge me. But camp has five weeks left and I plan on enjoying every minute of it! Hopefully I will be less neglectful of this particular blog as I found out that people other than my mom actually read it! (Thanks Amy!) So for now, over and out!

Emileigh is 4!
So there is this sweet little girl and her name is Emileigh. Em is 4 and AWESOME. She loves Buzz Lightyear and sticking her tongue out and has the best, most gorgeous, curly hair in the world. She and I had a ton 'o' fun playing on the play ground and running through the park (and by running, I mean she ran and I walked). So without further ado, please enjoy this wonderful little girl and her wonderful family!
Happy Birthday Miss Emileigh!
