It's the end of the summer.....
I can't believe how fast this has gone by. I hate how time has sped up and I can't slow it down. I was reading my entries from this week two years ago. It's insane how much has changed. Though it seems that the pattern of me being very busy every summer continues. I miss those lazy summers spent by the pool reading my days away.
I don't even know where to place this summer. I am sad, but not as sad as last year. I guess I now know that everyone has changed--just like everyone said they would. I'm just not afraid of losing people. I feel like they will all be here...be coming back to visit. I know that is naiive because in reality this is the last summer that everyone will be coming back home. It's just hard to think otherwise until it happens. I guess I will be really sad then.
I am sad about leaving work though. Working at the daycare center was one of the most rewarding and fun jobs i've had to date. I'm going to miss those kids so much. Seeing those faces everyday, playing with them, seeing them grow and learn--it was so incredible. I was so sad that my favorite child, Dylan, was not there on my last day. Not to mention the girls I work with were awesome. I'm going to miss talking to Danielle about "deeper" things. I can't wait to have kids someday.
I love the summers SO MUCH. They are my favorite time of year and I can't believe that it's time to go back to school already. I love seeing all of my friends. Working blows, but it's really not that bad. I miss all the talking and random hangouts and being able to drive five minutes away to be at my best friend's house. I.E. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. :( So much I'm not looking forward to.
Playing Dungeons and Dragons this summer was another experience that I will never forget. Friday nights with Jon, Tj, Cayle, and Tammy were the best. I wish I could have played for longer but I will def. be back on vacations. Sleepovers and adult soda kicked ass. They are just all cool guys. Being one of the guys was ...interesting ! lol. And Jon has become one of my good friends :)
I've seen sooooo many movies this summer. Pirates of the Carribean and Click topping the list.
Nick was a great boyfriend this summer. Everything I could have asked for. I got a beautiful aquamarine necklace in June for our anniversary and got to go jet skiing for the first time with him. Got to go to the Aquarium with him and his lil bro. Just got to spend a lot of time with him becoming better friends. :)
I even got to see all of my brothers and sisters twice already this year. It's a record! We normally all get together once maybe twice a year. This year it could be double. And I'm a godmother to the most beautiful baby girl- Catherine Hope. And the proud Aunt to the ever-growing Sammy (2) and Mikayla(3). Spending time with them has been great. I love kids SO MUCH.
God, so many memories. Olive Garden, Camping trip, bowling, beach, BBQ's, swimming with the noodles, parties, goin dancing, camping, hiking, ice-cream runs, long night-time drives with the radio blasting (Kt and Jolly ;) ) seeing my bro graduate, girls night at the bedford house, jen's surprise bday.....oh so many countless laughs, smiles, tears......another summer to never forget.
Maybe I am sad afterall. I was driving away from Jolly's house realizing I won't see these people until November and it made me shiver. How I miss everyone when we're away......
Well I must sleep now. Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of my summer. I leave for India. I don't get there until August 8th (24 hr flight-yuck! ) and time change. Get back on Friday August 25th...the flight gets into Boston at 1:30pm for any who are interested. I leave for UNH on the 27th.
It should be the trip of a lifetime. I need a vacation....some me time. Spirtually this should be an interesting trip as well.
Goodnight world. Goodnight Manchester.
Deep Peace and brightest blessings always,
