This Summer!

This summer I'm not doing too much stuff - but I'm so so excited for the summer :) One thing I'm going to be doing is going to kamp from June 4 - June 18th and I'm SOOOOOO excited!! 29 more days <3 <3 <3. Hehe :) Kamp is my favorite thing of all time. If I could stay there year round - I would!! This year I'm bringing my friend Leigh to kamp, which is fun! and this is my first year to go back the same term and get to be with all the same people!! So I can't wait to see all my sweet friends :) Literally this place is my heaven on earth!! I adore that we don't have our computers or cell phones or anything like that!! I love it! I love getting away from the world to get to focus on God and strengthening my relationship with Him!! I can't wait to be a counselor there! But this year the theme is "Game On" which I think will be really interesting!! But that is one of my main, main things this summer!! 

Another thing I'm doing is Rush Week in Pensacola, Florida! I'm going on a mission trip with four of the five girls I do a Bible Study with - Brooke Fritcher, Angela Pidala, Blakely Smith, and Ashton Binkley! These people are awesome girls that I can't wait to experience a mission trip with. This will be my first *of many* mission trips and I can't wait!! We will be witnessing to children and working at VBS's in poorer areas and just ministering to the people or Pensacola! I seriously am sooo excited! I can't wait to do this and I think it will be one of the best weeks of my life so far :) My little sister and Brooke Fritchers little sister and Ashton Binkleys little sister (who are all really close although none of them go to school together) are all going as well! So it will be fun to get to spend this time with my baby sister :) and I'm super excited that she'll be going on her first mission trip two years ahead of me so that she can have even more opportunities! I think it'll be cool seeing her in this element and helping her out!! 

Lastly, are the little things I'm doing this summer. The majority of my summer will be spent at home - which is fine by me!! I want to read alot, I have way to many books that I want to read soo bad, but that I haven't been able to because I'm busy with school! So I'm excited about diving into those! Also over the summer I usually really get into community service! I love community service and so do my friends! I think its soo fun :) (as dorky as that may be). I'll also be leading VBS at First Baptist for a week and be doing the Houston Project during July at First Baptist! I hope to also be babysitting my sweet cousins Somya and Saaya this summer!! And any other kids I can babysit - I just love babysitting! There's a single mother on my street (who doesn't work during summers) and I think I'm going to work something out with her so that twice a month I'll babysit her four sweet kids for free so she can have some nights off and not have to worry about paying me! But I guess thats just a little glimpse into my summer!! I'm soo ready for it!! <3
