On the Road Again.

For most of you who know me, I have always been either travelling to the next place or hosting loved ones. I thought life would slow down after getting married, but really it means double the amount of people to see! The summer has shaped up to be jam-packed for Michael and I, but we can't complain with all of our adventures being spent with good friends and family!

The past few weeks have moved fast for me, so I thought I would share where I have been: Memorial Day weekend I traveled to Asheville to see my dear friend Kristin Meyer marry her sweetheart, Aaron Hensley. I was so blessed to be a part of her big day and experience where the Lord has brought them over the past 2 1/2 years.

Not only was the view of the ceremony breathtaking, but the company was even better. All the kiddos in the wedding!

Plus, I got to spend some fun time with my aunt and uncle, Mark and Betty! They were great hosts to my friend Zee and I.

Two days after I got back from Asheville, I travelled to New York City for 5 days to help represent my company at Book Expo America (BEA). BEA is basically THE show for publishers, booksellers and authors. It was an incredible experience- I am so glad I got the opportunity to attend. Not only was our booth in the "best sellers" section, but we really became a show stopper. And, we never stopped the entire weekend! See what I mean:

This is me with our CEO, Richard.It was neat to experience what I have heard about for the past 4 years. The "who's who" of publishers and booksellers were in attendance, including some big-name authors like Nicholas Sparks, Dan Brown and David Baldacci.

Tonight we are celebrating Michael's birthday (which is actually tomorrow) with a cookout at our apartment (pictures to come next week). Many of his closest friends up here will be helping us celebrate. And, this weekend, my brother Joe and his wife Kerry will (finally!) be travelling up to visit the North Shore and stay with us for the weekend.

Many more adventures to share soon!

(We are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of our neice, Lucy!)
