Hey Guys!!!

Can you believe that we will all be together again in about 3 weeks? Words cannot even express how excited I am. I keep trying to talk my parents into letting me move in earlier and earlier lol.

The rest of my summer has been pretty good. I had a wonderful time with my mom in New York. We got to see so much of the city like the Plaza, Central Park, China Town, and we even got to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. I know that both my mom and I will cherish those memories we made together forever. I also went to Ocean Isle Beach with my family and lots of family friends last week. We go there every year so each time I am there with all of those great people it just feels like I’m at a second home (Well third if you count UNC). My friend Morgan went with me and I think the most fun thing we did was go kayaking in the intercoastal waterway. We didn’t really know what we were doing and kept going in a zig zag instead of a straight line and when we came back in after two and a half hours we were so tired but we had so much fun.

I’ve still been working a lot at the hardware store, which has been really great because I just really enjoy working there. Unfortunately there are some legal and monetary issues that the store is experiencing right now. It’s actually a really big mess that I’m not even really supposed to talk about but I would greatly appreciate prayers from you guys for my boss and the store owners.

I also wanted to tell you guys that there is a good chance I will be having some major oral surgery on the 12^th right before we all move in. It’s a surgery that I have been waiting on for years now so I am excited about it. Hopefully I will be all healed up before I move in but if not you guys can totally laugh at me if I look and/or talk funny haha.

I am SO excited about the Summer Birthday Bash tomorrow, and if you are coming I can’t wait to see you there!

Hope you all enjoy the last bit of the summer!
