Quick overview

Well, it's been a whole summer since I've written a blog. So here's a quick overview.

After the excitement of getting a firepit, I then spent the month of July studying for and taking my five Praxis exams for teacher certification...and I passed. Also in July I went to New York for a missions trip with my youth group. It was fun and tiring and stretching, which I wasn't expecting. Then at the beginning of August I found out my cousins were not returning to Ecuador and that meant I had to move. But God is good and I quickly found a new place to live. So the rest of the month was spent packing and preparing to move. The beginning of September I moved into Lancaster city and am living in community with a couple and another guy, well, he has his own living area on the third story, but I share the rest of the house with the couple. It's going really well so far. I love the new place and am now working on the finishing touches of finding homes for the little random things.

Here's some pics from the summer...

That's my twin cousin, Rebecca and her daughter Ella at our family's 4th of July gathering at my Uncle Joel's house. What a fun day!

Two days a week I had the joy of helping out my friend from church with her beautiful boys!

This pic was taken at Six Flags Great Adventure...where I was escorted out of the park! Yep, you read right. I took a video on one of the rides with my camera...apparently that's not allowed, so they made me leave...escorted by security! And I'm not allowed to return until 2009!! Crazy!


I almost forgot! Also in July I had my 10 year college reunion at Houghton. We had a picnic at Letchworth State Park, one of my favorite places! So beautiful. It was a lot of fun to reconnect with some old friends. None of "my girls" were there though, that was kind of sad.

Well, I guess that does it for the update. I'll try not to wait 3 months before writing again. I need to take some pics of my new home to put on here!
