Heyo all!

Summer is pretty much here (hence, the 90 degree weather), and with summer comes...school? Ah, yes. Matt and I are back in school-sweet!. May has brought about fun times, and we'd like to give the gist of it all ...

First off - Landon McIntire had his first -and very own- birthday party! Matt was able to go down to Florida and suprise his brother (as everyone was able to keep his visit a secret) with showing up the Friday before the birthday party. Landon had a rockin' birthday with plenty of cool and fun presents. Landon also was equipped with two birthday cakes: one very sweet and edible record player cake and one edible and chocolatey baby-sized cake perfect for the all-around first birthday experience. Matt will have tons of the pics up here soon!

While Matt was enjoying the tropical fun-ness of Florida, I was stuck in Illinois graduating. That's right - after a 3 semesters at Moraine, I officially graduated with my Associate of Arts, and now I am ready to begin the next leg of my bachelor's at Trinity Christian College!

Our first weekend back together involved a day-trip to Starved Rock State Park (Utica, IL.) with me, Matt, my dad, sis, bro, Debbie, Colin, and Patrick. Fortunately, Starved Rock had avoided the Cicada outbreak during our visit.

Pictures that will be up in the (relatively) near future...Landon's First Birthday, Matt's Face?, and Niki's Arizona trip
