Summer happenings..

I can't believe the summer is almost half over already! It seriously feels like it was this morning when I was complaining summer was taking to long to get here.

-If you saw my last post you would of seen I was very very excited about going to the beach. Well. that never happened. Jason woke up that morning with a fever, canceling our beach day. Hmphhh. I now more then ever want to go to the beach. Oh when shall I ever be able to enjoy such a thing...

-Alex flew in from Texas last night for a two week vacation! Yay! :)

- The annual Lighthouse Volleyball clinic was this past week, and tryouts are this week. My last high school volleyball tryouts ever...but I am excited about the season! We gonna be beast yo. :)

- July is going to be my busy busy busy month. Basically I will not be home. Massachusetts, World View Camp, Camping, Birthday...oh my, July excites me. :)

- The most exciting thing of the summer happened this week. God is so Good. Solomon Mestas was issued his visa, and arrived at RDU airport Wednesday afternoon. You HAVE to check out his AMAZING story at www.jobsdaughters.blogspot.com. God has moved in such amazing ways through this family, whom I love so so so much. I'm so excited to see what happens next! Here is a news clip from the "welcome home party" at the airport wednesday..

hmm :)

I leave in 7 hours to go to the beach for the day with mi familia. This makes me soo so so happy :) I love the beach. I can't wait to lay in the sun and read a book, while I hear the sound of the ocean. I can't wait to jump in the waves. I can't wait to be tanner. I can't wait to "people watch". I can't wait to play with the sand. I can't wait. I've been waiting a very long cold winter for this. mmm beach hereeee I comeee.

poo.

Please excuse the craziness of my blog right now, as I try to fix this jumbled up mess. gracious.

Help.

Today my friend Rachel and I try to leave Starbucks to go pick up ellie (who's like a mile down the street) ..my car doesn't start. Thinking it's the battery, we look in the trunk for jumper cables. This was the only thing we found left in the "car kit". Oh and it was pouring rain. finally a very nice man comes and tries to jump our car. Failure. maybe not the battery? still raining....finally an hour later Ellie's dad comes and rescues us after making friends with the people in Starbucks..dad calls later and the tow truck guys jumps the car and gets it going, apparently our very nice man helper wasn't very good at jumping cars.. haha. That concludes todays adventure...oh what will tomorrow bring? haha

sometimes I just need to ramble...

The following are random ramblings for your enjoyment. Enjoy :)

-Summer is supposed to be a time when you relax and enjoy the vacation from school and activities involved. Well, my gracious am I TIRED for it being a vacation time! Bags under theee eyess. perhaps I shall go to bed before 2am tonight...

- Ellie's home from Uganda!! Their trip was amazing, and other then some flight delays/and some baggage trouble on then way home, it all ran so smoothly. She'll be posting more about the trip now that she's home soon, so be looking! But I'm so happy she's home and I got to see my bestest friend. :)

-For the first time ever in my life, I completely have my OWN room. Like with one bed. When sarah went to college I had my "own room" but her bed and a LOT of her stuff was still in it. So, we weren't personally sharing it for a couple years, but I was still sharing it with all of her stuff. Well though she is living back at home, now that she has graduated. (By the way, Sarah graduated ASU a couple weeks ago! hooray! :) we have changed our "tv room" into her bed room, which meansss I have my own room now! oh my goodness :) I've got a small pull out couch where her bed was, but my gracious there is still so much more space! The room is a work in progress, getting exactly how I want it, but it's on it's way! I love it :)

- I got new gladiator sandals and bathing suit top today! thank youuuu Target, but I didn't appreciate you closing the store and turning out the lights while my friends and I were still in it..

-I have been craving Chinese food alll week.

-I've had a wonderful weekend so far hanging with Ellie and Rachel, and a sleep over/day with Morgan. I like all three of these girls VERY much, and I think I shall keep them as friends :)

Those are all the random ramblings my sleepy brain can think of, so I am off to the wonderful world of sleep.

Hope you are all having a superly duperly wonderful summer so far!

Camp!

Summer has begun! and you know what that means... CAMP. This past week was the first week of over night camp, known as "Early Week"...aka my FAVORITE week of camp all summer. Jason was a camper, I was a CIT once more, and Eric is on staff this summer so he was a cabin counselor. 95% of the majority of campers at early week are homeschooled, and basically the same kids come every year, till they're to old. This year the campers were all awesome, and the CIT's and staff were amazingggg. The week was so tiringg but so good! I knew a lot of first year campers, whom made me all super happy! And well it was just a fun week. :) ......Now to see if God has it planned for me to be there more this summer....

In other "campish" news. For the first time ever I'm going to another camp other then New Life, over the summer! haha. I'm going to a World View Academy Leadership Camp at Liberty University for a week in July :) I'm really excited and Emily is coming with me, which makes me doubly excited! :) I got the "camp packet" the other day, and it's pretty much gonna be super cool :)
