WZUP with the WALKERS: August 2009

The Summer is almost over and this is one of the first Saturdays we have actually been home!! It has been a great Summer with lots of exciting memories! We started off the Summer with Vacation Bible School: Outside the Walls. We did VBS in apartment complexes around our town. This was the first time VBS had not been in our church building! It was a great week and we were able to reach many kids and families! Preteen Camp was the next week and of course it is always a lot of fun with Preteens!! Then we went on vacation to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida (near Destin) for a week with my parents, Mark's parents, my sister Natalie and her husband Matt, and my brother Colt and his girlfriend Sarah. My family has vacationed here since I was in Jr. High and it is my favorite place EVER! I loved sharing it with Mark for the first time! We also announced to our family that WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY IN JANUARY!!! We had been keeping it a secret for weeks so we could tell them all together! We are so excited and so are our families! (first grandbaby on both sides) After Florida I went to Seattle, WA with our youth group where we lead Upward Basketball and Cheerleading camps and did some sightseeing. The next weekend was a girls weekend with all my roommates from Baylor. It was lots of fun and I got to spend some extra time with my BFF Katie and her baby, Annie! Her and our baby will be exactly a year apart and we know BFFs too! The last few weeks of the summer consisted of a visit from my mom for a week, wedding showers and my closest cousin Lee got married to Alica. I LOVE my new cousin and their wedding was beautiful!! That was the very short version of our fun-filled summer! I posted some pics below of some of the events!
