Well, at the end of June, Me and my future-sister-in law went to New Orleans for an entire week! We got to hang out during the day doing different things and then hang out with Thomas at night. We went bowling at Rock-in-Bowl one night (which by the way is the best place ever to bowl) and downtown on Burbon Street to a Jazz place one night. We did get to eat lunch with Thomas everyday as well! I think that Melissa (FSIL) took a nap everyday while I played SIMS on her computer. We enjoyed this vacation just as much as I think Thomas enjoyed having us!
Then we came home on July 3rd because some of us were walking/running the Peachtree the next day! We were tired when we got back home on Friday, but still had to get up at 5am the next morning to head to the race. This Peachtree was probably the best one that I have ever ran because I ran it 56 minutes! That's 6.3 miles in 56 minutes! I was so proud of myself! Then the rest of the 4th was spent eating and going to see fireworks with Thomas's parents. It was a really good weekend!
The next thing that happened was my roomate got married on July 18th! That week I decided to stay at the apt and spend it with her. We got to hang out before other family and friends came into town on Friday. The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner went great on Friday night! All of the bridesmaids stayed up and talked for a while! It was good to catch up with some friends that have moved away. Then the day of the wedding came and everything came together perfectly. We had a brunch, got our hair done, and then headed to the church for pictures! The wedding was at 7pm and was so pretty! Sarah and Chris were so excited and I was excited for them as well!! They have moved away now, but I know that I will visit them and definitely stay in touch as well!
Then the next week I went to Kids Camp with my church. This week was filled with worship, having fun, and eating. It seemed as though we ate every two hours! LOL. The kids really seemed to enjoy every minute of the week! God was definitely at work in the kids lives and in the adults as well!
Then right after we got back from kids camp, I headed to my grandparents to head to the beach with my family! We got a huge room because my entire immediate family came including my grandma and pop and my brother and his kids. We had 9 people in one room! It turned out to be a fun week just laying on the beach and hanging out with my family! I couldn't believe that July was coming to an end!
Then the day after we got back, I got moved into my new house! My mom, dad, both brothers, and my brother's father-in-law helped me move in! I was so thankful to have them come and help me because I definitely could not have done it alone! We got everything moved in and decorated as well! I love having my own room and bathroom. It is the first time in my whole entire college career! I do miss my old roomie though!
Now that August is here, I have just been anticipating Thomas coming home and getting ready for school. I am student teaching this semester and still do not know whose classroom I am in. This is something that has been bothering me since the beginning of August, but I know that God knows where I am supposed to be and He knows that it is the perfect place for me as well! I am just giving it all to Him and trying not to worry about it even though I am nervous. Thomas comes home on Saturday and me and his parents are going to go help move him back! I have looked forward to this day since the day he told me he was going there for the summer, so you should know that I am SO EXCITED and READY TO SEE HIM! I promise that I will blog more often! Hope that you enjoyed reading about how my July went this summer!
