Goodbye Summer.

After yesterday's Holiday I can't help feeling disappointed. It's like saying goodbye to your best friend until next year. Summer's over. Over. Done. Now I have months and months and months until it returns. Ironic because just this weekend I was so completely giddy about the upcoming fall. Now I just feel as if I lost something.

Hello crazy emotions, so glad of you to stay awhile.

But I really am disappointed. Summer's my favorite. I count down the days every year from about February to warmer weather and then enjoy and love every single one in between. Now it's over. Tears here please.

But with fall comes...

football.

friends.

cooler weather.

holidays.

dreaming.

and some different happiness.

Okay, I think I'm a bit better now.

Hope your Tuesday is significantly happier than I'm being!

The day I thought I'd have...

Today is field trip day at Camp. So of course I thought I'd be going ice skating with tons of little 5 and 6 year olds. False. They must not like me, cause I sure wasn't on the list but hey whatev's. I'm an adult I can handle it. So instead we sat at camp all day on the "old people's bench" as we counselors dubbed it. Then we counselors balanced on a skinny wooden fence and tried to see who could make it the furthest around. I have got to have my camera around more for pictures of fun stunts like that.

Oh and on a random cute note. My campers are hilarious. Today I asked one of the boys to tie his shoes before we played basketball. He couldn't, so I did. I tied one and then asked him to find the laces from the other shoe so I could tie them. He took off the shoe and looked for them. Pulled one out, searched for the other and then jumped up and yelled "I've been robbed! Someone stole my other shoe lace!" hahahaha I laughed so hard I fell over and the kids all stared at me. I think I secretly love this job.

Happy Tuesday Folks.

Weekend.

This weekend: Hung out with best friend, made plans, broke plans, went shopping at the outlet mall [holllllaaaaa sales!] Wanted to layout at the pool for the house the bestie and I were house sitting at, couldn't cause it rained. Watched movies. Took a walk. Ate tacos, lots and lots of tacos. Made the huuuuuge tub a make-shift jacuzzi. Laughed with Best friend, poured out heart to best friend. Fantastic weekend <3

I love love love her.

12 tacos for $10. All. Over. That.

This is the back of the car of the random guys who tried to get out while we are on the road at a light to talk to us. So much laughter.

Little Cup, big straw. Thank you, Del Taco.

Successful taco experience.

We ate tacos for 2 days. But it was so worth it. Thank goodness for summer weekends and best friends. :)

Hope you had a sweet weekend!

The time I was almost left at Gatorland

Today we went to Gatorland. Yeah that place. With 30-something 5 and 6 year olds. Yippee. And me. And it was 103 degrees out. I forgot how strange and funny kids could be.

And nice side note- they totally almost left me at Gatorland. Yeah as in I was with a 5 year old in the bathroom, looked out and NO ONE WAS THERE. Yep, no one from our camp was in sight. Awesome sauce. And we were supposed to leave out a side gate. Holy moley! Luckily we kept walking and found them. Or I don't know what we would've done. I definitely have the other counselor's numbers now haha.

Summertime List

So Summer is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love the warm weather. Cool nights. Complete freedom. Silly adventures. And the ability to try anything and everything new. Seriously, though, summer is bigger for me that New Year's when it comes to resolutions. And since I have roughly a million dreams for this summer I figured I'd share.

1. Actually use those years of piano lessons I have and play that piano. It's just sitting there calling my name. It's lonely. The least I can do is go back and play it a bit right?

2. Running. I've already run twice since I've been home. And it was awesome. Let's keep that up all summer kay self?

3. SEW. I want to learn to sew. For real. I even have a sewing machine courtesy of a lovely lady. I just really want to learn!

4. Figure out a car engine. I have this theory that I can read a book and understand stuff. That's not always true but I wanna try anyway.

5. Be Artistic. I have all these ideas spinning around in my head. It's time to use some of them.

6. Actually use the guitar sitting in my room. And learn to play something other than "Row your boat".

There's way more to this list but I've postponed posting it for so long that I'm just gonna have to add to it as we go.

Here's to Summer Everyone!

Memorial Day Weekend.

Weekend's like this are why I love summer.

Pool Days. Family. Summertime. Sarcasm. Laughter. Splashing. Food. Smiles. Relaxation. Perfection.

Hope you had a splendid Memorial Day Weekend.

Well Hi There.

Wowza. Welllll it's been a while! But the good news is I. AM. DONE. with this semester! Alleluia! and moved back out of campus life. Now we're just awaiting the wedding of this lovely lady.

I'm very excited. She is absolutely wonderful and I am so blessed to call her my friend! Who ever knew I would be so excited about weddings? Not this kid. But I really love her and her fiance and can't wait to see their marriage and all the awesome things they are gonna do for God.

Oh and P.S- Promise posts will get better now that the crazy of finals week is over. Happy Tuesday Friends!

xoxo, Lo
