Since the last update, we've had the end of school, weddings, buffalo, and lots of paper writing.
In the beginning of June we were lucky enough to make it home to St Louis to watch Ben's step-brother, Jake, get married to Jennifer. It was a beautiful wedding and Jake and Jenn seemed really happy. Jake and Jennifer have two cutie-pa-tootie kiddos, Madilyne and Ryan. They were so adorable all dressed up!
Ben and I had never made it to the new Busch Stadium, so this trip we made it a point to go see a game. Lucky for us, they were playing the Rockies!
Joan's Dad has a brick dedicated to him, and the guys found it.
We love making it back home and spending time in this great city with this amazing family!
When we got home from St Louis, it was time to start Grad School for me. I began my program in Educational Leadership for Curriculum and Instruction. I took 6 hours this summer and will be taking 9 in the fall. I have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night classes for three hours. It'll be a hard semester, but I think I can do it! I'm no longer doing Student Council at Kinard and will have at least a little bit more free time.In July, we went up to Montana to see our good friends Katie and Paul get married. The wedding was at Chico Hot Springs in Pray Montana. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception and Ben and I had so much fun. Katie and Paul are an amazing couple and we spend most of our free time with them. We both felt very luck to spend this day with them!
Our good friends Kara and Rolin came up for the wedding too. The boys all had a great time together!
They looked so happy! 
Oh the way back from Montana, Ben and I decided to drive through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons on a whim. It was an amazing trip and we both are so greatful we did it. It was truely one of the best trips we've ever taken together.
While we were in Yellowstone, there was a herd of Buffalo (or maybe bison) that passed in front of our car. It was the coolest thing. They were beautiful animals. We even saw babies feeding on the side of the road. It was really neat.
