My goal in life is to honor the Lord and glorify Him. "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." ~1 Corinthians 6:20. My most recent exciting news is that I got married!! Yay! My husband, David, is great...really super handsome, nice, and so SO good to me! I love him a LOT! He is from Ireland so that is now where I live as well. Such beauty to be had every where I look. It blows my mind away! Although, I still think that Minnesota is the most beautiful place on earth...I think I always will. :)

Summer Kick-off Camping Trip

I was kind of wondering how great it would be to go camping while 7 months pregnant. I think people thought I was a tad crazy to consider it (and I was beginning to wonder myself), but it was actually really great. We have a nice little air mattress that makes sleeping comfortable and our tent is so cozy. Plus, I just LOVE camping so much. I am so happy that David loves it too. To me, it beats an expensive room in a classy hotel any day (as long as it's okay that I look like a homeless person for a while. I probably wouldn't be so keen on it if I had to go to a wedding the next day, but you get my drift!). 

So here are some of the reasons why I love camping...

Historical sights
(this is a memorial to the hungry poor who died during the famine)


Amazing camp sites on rocky ledges...

...with incredible views!

Encountering wild life! 
(This is a jellyfish that was stranded by low tide)

Stunning backgrounds for my 30 weeks pregnant picture!


Watching the sunset get increasingly more beautiful.


And best of all...bringing home some fish for supper! 

I was so excited when David came back to our tent with fish in the bucket that he had caught right off the rocks in the ocean! That's my man! And the mackerel were delicious.
