Our first day of employment at Southern Wesleyan University in Central, South Carolina! What a great place it has been already. We both love what we're doing. The kids are just great to work with and we feel so blessed.
Devin travled most of the summer with "His Instrument" from IWU. They had great adventures together - but since he was gone, he got out of helping us move, unpacking boxes and the stress of it all! Way to go Dev! Great plan! However, that meant that he got to come to SC and see his new home, all unpacked and welcoming him with clean sheets and tidy closets! They traveled mostly in the north and of course Devin got to visit places he had never been before -p Mt. Rushmore for one! That's a sweet deal!
Emily Hopeman, my Daddy, Devin and my Mother at Sara J's, Garden City, South Carolina - only the most fabulous seafood place in existence (according to the Kerstetters of course!)
We went to Brevard, NC and visited our great friends, The Blackburns. They graciously hosted us to a water falls tour and scenic mountain view tour twice this summer!
Just an amazing view of the Blue Ridge Mountains!
Aw, yes! Cooks in the kitchen, stirring up one of the Hopeman's specialty dishes - Chicken and Curry.
Devin had fun playing his mandolin while home. He was also introduced to one of the University Singers who is a great mandolin player. That was inspiring for sure! Blue Grass music just does something to us all - makes some of us want to play and some of us want to dance!
After the mountains, it was onto Myrtle Beach - the place that we have taken beach vacations since I was a little girl. Now, my parents own an incredible beach house that our entire family gets to enjoy. This wasn't the sunniest day of the beach vacation, but that didn't stop the kids from playing ... big and little! Whatever reservations Presley may have had with Devin were non-existent while on the beach. He was her ticket to a great deal of fun!
I have no idea what Devin created here - care to guess anyone??
Devin was entrusted with Presley for a little while and she showed him who's BOSS!!
You can't keep this little critter out of the water. She doesn't mind the rough waves, the cool water or the sand that ends up in your tail feathers!
Don't be fooled here. She's pulling Devin out to deeper water!

Seems that if you say goofy things to people, you end up with sand all over you!
