August...just barely:-)

Well, We are trying to keep up with our monthly blog quota...so here are some of the things that have been keeping us busy this month:

Emily finished her job with CEF of Nebraska.
Emily's grandma passed away, Aunt Marianne came back from Chicago for the funeral.
Jacob's girlfriend Rachel came to visit from Cincinnati for 4 days.
Eric and Liz were married on the 19th...they moved to Chicago and we will see them this weekend when we are there for another wedding - Emily's cousin Sarah.
Our good friends from Budapest, Brad and Kari Mullet came for the wedding and stayed for several days.
Baltenspergers caught 500 chickens after a semi tipped and butchered them within 24 hours.
Sewed bridesmaid dresses with Nicole, Melanie, Anna and Kristin.
Emily's good friend Melissa had her baby on Thursday - Elsie Joy
We've had lots of big rains here in Manhattan which means tons of work at the fort.
We are still doing pre-marital counseling with Ken and loving it!

Colorado










Emily and I just returned July 8th from a trip out to Colorado with my family. We spent 5 days in the Rocky Mountains around Estes Park. We had a wonderful time with the family...hiking, eating, reading, drinking coffee and green tea (for Emily:-) and more hiking. 5 of us: Emily and I, Eric and his fiancee Liz and Tim all hiked Mt. Ypsilon on Monday. I was pretty impressed the girls made it all the way to the summit and they could have kept going further. - Allyn

Grandparents and two Emilys

In Target and loving it:-)

Emily was here in Manhattan for the weekend...it was glorious! My grandparents were in town from Wichita, we spent some time with them on Saturday and then headed off to register for our wedding. We had a great time wandering aisles and thinking about weddings. I think the best thing we found was the cutest little softball glove for Emily...Fun!

Emily is off to Scottsbluff this week for a CEF camp...we're planning to go to church together on Sunday, spend the afternoon with friends and then head to Omaha for a family reunion on Memorial Day.

Allyn W. & Emily B.

Introduction

Welcome to our blog! My name is Allyn Weddle, from Manhattan KS and the most wonderful thing about this blog is that I can share it with my fiancee', Emily Baltensperger, who is from Nebraska for the next 21 weeks exactly (but who is counting?). We'll work on getting our blog 'up to speed' with some pictures and other fun stuff like wedding plans and such.

Blessings,
