Summer So Far!

So my future wesley housemates...I am a slacker, I didn't realize we were assigned weeks for this post thing, but as I say very often,"Better late than never!"

This summer has been one of the best so far! I never knew I would miss UNC this much, but when you make friends as awesome as Wesley peeps, you are bound to miss them over the summer. With that said, I love my family, which includes three younger brothers that I am extremely proud of but also annoyed by at times. They are hilarious! Plus my parents are pretty cool, I can't believe I survived a whole year without them! (Well I can, but they are super helpful!) I'm super family-oriented if you couldn't tell, but almost as important as family to me are my friends!

Friends, they know you at your best and worst, and will ALWAYS, not matter what make you laugh!!! Laughter, and a lot of it, took place on our 2nd annual beach extravaganza! I had one of the most exciting, interesting, relaxing, and entertaining trips with 8 or so of my closest friends from high school. We call ourselves "The Lunch Table" group, because we all sat together our senior year, lame but it works for us! :) I love them all and can't wait for next year's trip!

Recently, I had another exciting trip to Chapel Hill. This surprise venture was meant to shock Miss Madicella (my roommate...lol) but she is way too smart, and was only slightly shocked when Reed Pomeroy (one of those crazy friends from the beach, also my best friend) and I flew through the doors of the Stone Center during her work hours to spend the rest of the day with her! We had been there way before, thinking she would return, but had epic surprise failure and ended up completely missing the lunch plans, but it worked out quite swell and we got to go with Madicella and Karen to Southpoint and Target. This summer I've had to learn to cope without constant laughter when we were in HoJo this year, but that spontaneous trip was so much fun!!! Can't wait to visit again!

On top of all that fun, I was blessed enough to find a job! My church has a child care center, and I got a part time position watching afterschool/school-age kids. So far they are pretty fun, but also rowdy since its the beginning of the summer. The one other teacher and myself get to round up 21 kids and keep them under control, so I will achieve many lessons in patience, I'm sure. I'm also working out, walking, jogging, and loving it! The book "Made To Crave" by Lysa TerKeurst is very inspirational and encouraging. :)

So, I know this has been long, but I am super excited to call Wesley my home and can't wait until we all arrive in August!!! Hope you each have a fabulous summer!!!
