So, it has been longer then I thought since I last posted. A lot has happened since I last posted, Jc has moved to the dorms, so I haven't been around her much. She did come home last night, though, and spent the night. So far, everything is going well for her.

Today our church had a "Servant Day," which means that members of our church signed up for different projects and we went all over town working at charitable organizations. I went with the youth to the Infant Crisis Services, a place that helps mothers with young children, and helped bag food and sort cloths. It was fun to spend time with friends, but I am so tired now.

This afternoon I had to brush down the pool, which is harder then it sounds. It really wears your arms out because the brush (mainly the handle) weighs so much. I also have entered many, many crafty things into the fair, and so I have to work on finishing those projects in about 2 weeks, which is not nearly enough time. So far, all I have started is the drawing, but I need to start everything else.

Back to normal?

I have always thought that there isn't any "normal," but I am more convinced now then I ever was. I have done all sorts of things that don't fit into this category, from spontaneous outings with friends to simply having a different schedule every day. It wears me out so much that sometimes I wish there was a normal to return to.

Anywho, after we got home Sunday night (our trip was great, by the way), I have felt like I have had a million things to do, but I never can remember them all. Choir starts next Tuesday, as does my babysitting job, so I will have more to adjust to. The following Monday, the all consuming and imposing history class starts again. I am excited though, to be back to seeing people regularly again.

I really have so much to do this year, but it should be fun. I will enjoy babysitting, and my jewelry business is always fun (if time consuming). I am hoping to get a webpage for it this fall sometime. I will also get my license in a month or so, which will be cool. I don't have a car, but I will be saving every possible penny so I can maybe get one next year.

Last night I was at a small group sleepover, and we made a late-night run to Taco Bueno (not that terrific). Anyway, I jammed my finger getting out of the car (climbing over a seat), and it hurts dreadfully now. I iced it last night, but it is still swollen and a little purple in one spot, and I am starting to wonder if there is something I need to do about it.

I need to go do other things now, so I will go. Have a happy, un-normal day!

Florida!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Florida! We came down here Monday and have gone to the beach every day since. It has been so much fun to be here in the summer. We usually come to visist our grandparents for Thanksgiving or Christmas. We still go to the beach, but there is so much more you can do when it is warm. I tried not to get a sunsburn, but I failed and now my back and shoulders are in pain
:( I am still having lots of fun. As my birthday was Wednesday, we were supposed to have a picinic by the bay with as many family members as possible (33, to be exact), but it raied so we re-located to our grandparents house. It has been great fun so far, but now I have to get off. I'll post again when we get back on Monday. Till then, goodbye!
