Life moves at a glacial pace sometimes, and then there are the other days that I wake up and wonder where the months of June, July and August went. ZOOM. Right out the window. This summer over all was fantabulous. Don't get me wrong, it was hot and long and sometimes downright wearisome, but through it all I learned a butt load of things about people and myself. So to keep things updated, here's what my life has consisted of lately:
Did the whole "camp" thing. Made tons of friendsies, which is great. The Lord broke my heart and taught me what it means to be a true servant. My favorite part was having an excuse to wear my ridiculous costumes. However, it's not always easy to take care of other people's (bratty) children...
Wilson Road Trip 2011! Gosh darn I love these boogers. Every year it gets harder to leave home and let my broda and sista have a life without me. Hopefully they will be joining me in a few short years. Anyhoo...we journeyed forth to Austin for Shirley's 80th birthday shenanigans. Pure greatness. My grandmother is one of the most resilent and honest women I have ever met. She has lived a long and true life, dedicated to her children and walk with God. I couldn't be prouder to call her my Mama C.
Then I moved in with this girl. Basically, I have the coolest roommate anyone could ever have. We laugh like crazy, do stupid things and watch whole seasons of "Friends" and "Boy Meets World" late into the night. I've never had more fun living with someone before. The Lair prevails!
Bought a hammock. I have never felt more granola in my life. It's just peachy. I took a 2 hour nap in a park by myself the other day, and haven't been that happy since. And to top it all off, my hammock buddy, Madi, and I drove back to the house and hollered at people. I mean, what fun is yelling at people without a penguin suit? Gotta love it. The college life is just swell.
Took a weekend off to go visit high school and camp friends at TCU, and had lots of hooligan activities. Mainly sneaking into closets and rearranging clothes. *snicker snicker*
Ah. So happy to be back at Breakaway. God did so many amazing things in my life my freshman year, and Breakaway was just one of those happy moments. Every Tuesday I get to gather together with 5000 other Aggies and worship our Savior. The worship is incredible, and the talks are always just what I need to hear.
And to top off the summer PLUS September, I got to see one of the most amazing concerts EVA. Matt Nathanson, whom I loved, but am now obsessed with, performed with Train and Maroon 5 on their tour. He was hilarious on stage and incredibly sweet off stage. He even signed my CD! Needless to say, the roommate and I were giddy over meeting him. What a great weekend.
But now its time to hit the books and get back to snatching that diploma. Five tests in three days = no bueno. But hey, at least I'm studying what I love. Except geography. And math. And sociology. Ok, so really only English. But you know what, I wouldn't trade it for nada.
