4th of July fun
We had a really fun 4th of July celebration! We went out to a family friend's house in Plattsburg way out in the country. Joel's friend Aaron(from his class at Mid-America) and his wife Sarah and 15 month old son Lincoln came with us. Sarah and I have become pretty good friends over the past couple months. We have been getting together on Monday nights to make dinner together and let the kids play while our husbands are in class until 10:15. We have a lot in common and are so thankful for their friendship! We all had a blast fishing, playing with the 5 huge dogs, watching fireworks, and hanging out. Lily and Lincoln were a little scared of the loud fireworks, but all in all they had a great time. Hopefully next year they will be a little more excited about the fireworks! Here are a few pictures from the day...

Steve Miller Band Concert!
So, Thursday night Joel and I had free tickets to go see the Steve Miller Band at Starlight. We were so excited to have a date. Jaime came over to babysit Lily for us, so we had everything all set and ready to go. As soon as we pulled out of our apartments it started to rain! We were both like oh great...flashback from 3 weeks ago when we were stuck in a huge thunder and lightening storm (at Starlight watching Chicago and the Doobie Brothers). WE ended leaving the Chicago concert early and were so sad. This time though we ended up sticking out the concert and managed to have an amazing time even though we were drenched the entire time. They put on a really great show. It actually stopped raining for awhile and then opened up and downpoured again as we were running frantically to find our car after the concert. It is not so easy to run in pouring rain with extremely wet jeans, flipflops and sweatshirts on. But, there was no way we were going to cut our date short b/c of a little bad weather! It was great and we made a great memory! Sorry there aren't any pictures, but I was afraid my camera would get waterlogged.
