I would have to say that this summer is the best summer of all the summers that I have experienced. When I look at the things that I did and am doing..nothing is really differant except that I have a job. The rest is pretty much the same, counseling at Manna Resort, family vacation, swimming, a few odds and ends...things like that. The thing that makes this summer differant is def. the God factor. I asked him at the beginning of the summer to make me differant...to change me , because frankly, I didn't like me.I was really rather stupid. I still am...but it doesn't show as much. I knew things, but didn't act on them.My belief system wasn't central in my life. It was just kinda there. So there it is..an answer to prayer..I'm pretty pschyed for the future. Last week my family and I ( with Grandma and her sister, my great aunt, and my great aunts' kids and grandkids) got together up at Ft. Robinson outside of Crawford NE. We kinda hung out and the main quote of the week, due to my bachelor uncle, was " sleeping naked on the sidewalk". Yeahhhh.. So anyway, My grandma and her sister have had this "thing" between them for years. They're polite to eachothers faces..but the constantly talk about eachother to their own families. It's nothing big, or major...but it's always there, this tension or irritation...it's wierd..
The temperature soared while we were there and it got up to 112. Not much humidity, just this searing heat. you felt like you were standing next to a giant fire. Pretty amazing. well...thats about all. Heres a picture of my sisters and I after our piano recital in May. We're all a bit sunburned in the face due to the track meet the day before. I'm in the middle, Amber (13) on the left. Hannah ( 15) on the right.
