July!
wow I can't believe it's august already!! This summer has flown by . . . but every moment has been amazing! I can't even remeber everything I've done this month but I'll do my best!
Vacation: went to Luddington for the 4th of July and all of my mom's family was there. It was so great to see everyone b/c we don't all get together very often. And the fireworks were so sweet because we stayed in this hotel right on Lake Michigan and so we had a really good view. And my cousin gave me the coolest pair of pants! Well they're capris actually but i <3 them ... so much that they can't be travelling pants. sorry girls i want them for myself! = )
Harry Potter: absolutly amazing!! It was so sweet I read it in like 3 days . . . can't wait for the next one! My new favorite word is snogging. But I must say I was disappointed with downtown naperville on harry potter night...except for the fact that the Fold was playing on the riverwalk!! But I only got to stay for one song i was so crushed. = (
Toga Toga: um yeah I decided toga parties are awesome. Eileen got me addicted to diet coke this summer and parker definitly didn't have any . . . but did have like $150 of energy drinks!! And I learned that I am not good at assembling a toga, it's acutally a very complicated process i must say. I decided that toga parties need to happen once a month. It shoud be the law.
Golf Corses: So this month I discovered that not all grass is yucky. Playing on golf corse grass is sooo much fun. I decided that when I have a house of my own I want golf corse grass in my yard. It'll be great! And I realizd how hard it is to play golf. I have a new found appreciation for golfers b/c its really hard to hit the ball far enough! (but it probably didn't help that we didn't have golf tees and it was nightime so we couldn't see a thing!)
Streaking Party: haha not really but it just sounds funnier that way. Me, Kate, and Jeanine all dyed our hair with the help of Eileen. I am now a redhead ... well cinaberry to be exact, but barely b/c it's mostly worn off so i'll have to dye it again before school starts! Kate turned brunette and it looks awesome!! And Jeanine is darker brown now and looks HOTT! Eileen was a most excellent helper except for when she spilled neene's dye...but we forgive her b/c shes amazing!
Mission Trip: So I went to Akron, OH for a week with my church and it was the best week of my life! I had an amazing time and met so many new people who I will be friends with forever! And the memories . . . painting curbs, picking up cigarette butts, getting chased by a life sized charlie brown, playing violent rounds of spoons, beating everyone at egyptian ratscrew, our canadian van, our $2 speakers, learning to read military time, winning at mafia (when i wasn't killed!!), sorting smelly clothes, HOMEMADE TWINS!, our corner!, the waterpark, getting lost for 2 hrs trying to find a national park, upside-down pictures, ice cream and chips at 1 in the morning, wake up calls (its the police!), corny morning songs, our orange vests!!, playing dress up, the swively chairs . . . wow like a million more memories . . . it was so great to be around such amazing people who all love Jesus and aren't afraid to show it. I love you guys so much and can't wait for next year!!
My Birthday: my sweet sixteen was actually on the mission trip. It was so amazing because every time I saw someone I knew they would start singing to me and then people I didn't even know would turn around and start wishing me a happy birthday. I felt loved. And I got so many calls and texts from all my friends back home it was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. And while I was gone Kate planned my birthday party for me!! Its on saturday and I'm really excited even though I don't really know all the details. = )
Hrm thats all folks!!
