Best days of our lives

So, now that summer is coming to a close, it makes me crazy sad because this has been one of the very best summers of my entire life! It's hard to describe how great it was without showing some pictures and videos from all the awesomeness. Here's some of the highlights!

I made some new friends and hung out with some old friends (and froze our butts off waiting out in the cold for my 1st of 8 hawk shows this summer!) -- Side note: At this point, I only had 2 or 3 Hawk shows planned lol

Stayed up until all hours of the morning doing karaoke



Reunited with some friends I hadn't seen in FOREVER


Watched several good friends graduate high school































Went on a road trip to Alabama for Hawk shows 2 and 3 of the summer!


(Made some memorable friends on this trip...)



Ichthus 2008! (Hawk show 4 of the summer included here)..And mom's birthday!


At Ichthus, we danced like we're saved with Building 429 and Justin Lookadoo



Saw Hawk again! (Show #5 of the summer)..This time, only 30 minutes away from home! Crazy!


Reunited with my girls! (I've known them since I was 11 and they were 4 and 6...now almost 13 and 15)






























Hawk show #6 of the summer..Still in our home state, surprisingly


Roadtrip to Cincinnati to see David Crowder Band and TOBY

















Decided the day OF the show to go see the Idols in Cincinnati..And sat in the 4th row!

















Made some new friends!


Met Mark Stuart (lead singer of Audio Adrenaline)..and he remembered me the next time I talked to him!


Went on a planned trip to Akron, Ohio (Hawk show #7 of the summer) -- Daniel was CRAZY this day!!
















It was a LONG car ride. So we had some fun =)



And after a 1am trip to Walmart to buy clothes and toiletries...And crashing at 2am in Kelly and Christina's motel room in South Bend...


and a few other random snags...

..we went on an unplanned trip to Appleton, WI the next day! (Hawk show #8 of the summer..and Show #10 overall, for me!) -- New state: WISCONSIN!!




























Went on a shopping day trip to Kenwood Towne Center!

Went to 2 more new states! MINNESOTA and IOWA!




























Fulfilled one of my life dreams (Mall of America) and toured one of the greatest stadiums in the NFL (Lambeau Field - home of the Green Bay Packers!)





























Came back home and supported our boys at training camp

Saw the Idols again and met a couple of them! They're so sweet!






























And participated in the world record breaking water balloon fight!
















So that's a little tour through Mollie's Summer 2008! I've left a TON of pictures out..It would take all day to look at all of them. But it was amazing fun and I can only hope this school year is just as good or even better than this summer has been! I have the best friends and we have the best lives and we've been so blessed with all the things we have gotten to do. Until next time, I love you guys!
