Summer 2013

well. it's over. well not OFFICIALLY, but SUMMER 2k13 is shutting off its engine. *insert sigh here*

it was a good one, definitely not one for the books, but a good one all the same.. more than anything i'd say it was kind of the summer everyone left. But they're all in good places and are doing good things and hey for all those who have left me, there are those that are coming back.. very soon. ;]

ALSO. this summer i had some growth. no need to go into a cliche "the summer i..." thing but i gained a better testimony and if that wasn't worth the stress, i don't know what is.. but i'm happy about it.
ALSO ALSO. i got a scholarship. (one that adds to my one pima has reissued..) it's $2000! craziness. i knew my essay writing skills would someday come in handy. haha. but i feel so blessed. i have prayed and prayed and fasted and really crossed my fingers for this and i cried my eyes out when i recieved the email that said i had earned it. Tears of joy are something special. I literally felt the months of stress and fear lift off my shoulders. goawwsh. i'm so blessed.

anyway. PICTURE RECAP. summer 2013

spent pretty much my whole summer with these dweebs. oh and that fat chunky baby Abbi has. Ellie!!
like whoda thunk the kid could get so huge. we got to have her for a few days in july.

Payton left me early June

attended Bri Decker's wedding. i loved seeing some of my high school friends.
they're just too cute.

Taylor's farewell lunch. 

AAAND. that's Joey Carico. or josephine. ha. did some sprint workouts with him
he's trying to be a football star or something. and he's a sort of friend.. 

right after she had been set apart, spent the night and we talked all night.
i'm so excited for her. she was like out of her mind ready to go.
she has the most infectious personality and i think she's gonna be great. :]
now i just can't wait til she come home! 18 months can't fly fast enough. where will i be FEB. 2015?

so. that about sums it up. it was the okayest of times.. and it was the okayest of times. 

SO READY TO START SCHOOL AGAIN.
