Where to begin?
Well... I've always toyed with the idea of starting a blog. I read people's blogs all the time. Blogs are a glimpse into life, and I think life is so interesting... who people care about, what they think about and spend their time on, where they go, why they do the things they do... interesting stuff. So yes, I like blogs. Starting my own? Well, it's summer... and I'm bored. Where this will go? Who knows. But I do know it will be an outlet. Sometimes it will be serious. Sometimes it will be goofy. Sometimes it will probably be pretty pointless. But no matter what it is, it will be me. (Another reason? I want to be able to "follow" my friends who are blogging from literally all over the world, and rather than bookmarking all of their pages... this is easier :))
So... summer.
It has been a whirlwind so far. Finals ended. I did well. I kept my scholarship (thanks, God). I moved home. My brother got married. I have a sister now, which is awesome. However, it's super weird that my brother will, after 20 years, never again be right across the hall from me. As I said to him at the end of the semester, "Why do we have to grow up?" It's just... weird. But I'm adjusting. Life changes. But change is good. And I'm excited to see what the future holds. Anyways, after the wedding, I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed. I was out of it for like, 4 days (and I developed an obsession for The OC... I need to find Season 2 on DVD). Then, I went back to work at Target after being on academic leave for 8 months. I thought it was going to be dreadful, but it really isn't. I work with nice people. It's easy work. Heck, I live in Michigan and I have a job... which is more than 14% of our state can say, so I'm thankful. On top of working at Target, I babysit one afternoon a week... 3 of the cutest kids ever. It's fun, easy, and pays well. Gotta love it. And of course, I've been hanging out with friends, and in doing so, putting a lot of miles on my car (but at 207,000 she's still going strong). What is lacking this summer? Community. I miss GV. I miss literally being surrounded by awesome Christian friends. I miss living with Katelyn. I miss having my best friends within a 2 mile radius at any given moment. I love summer, but I love the school year too...
Welp, it's late. And in an attempt to maintain a somewhat normal sleeping schedule this summer, bedtime is calling. Hopefully, I'll be writing again soon :)
Adios.
