Ahh...home at last. I am not completely unpacked, but quite frankly, there is no room for me here. I have accumulated so much cool stuff while living in an apartment that my stuff kind of consumes my bedroom and most of the basement. Ask my parents, they will agree.
I am getting ready to go on a retreat tomorrow. I am so excited about it. Not sure what to expect, but really excited. We are going to Eminence, MO to Discovery Ministries. There will be rock climbing (and not the LaMoine camp rock wall), rapelling, caving, and swimming. It shall be grand!
Another friend is getting married this weekend. I am going to a bridal bruncheon on Saturday, then the wedding is at 3. I have a graduation party to go to between 2-5, then there are lawn games and a dinner reception at 6 pm here in town. It will be a fun day.
I will also spend two weeks at LaMoine this summer. I am teaching for the first week and I am a bit nervous about that, but it should be fine. I might be recruiting a friend to help me. The second week won't have too much pressure, so that is nice.
After the second week of camp, I will be driving with my family to St. Louis to pick up the McMichael 1/2 dozen. We are all so excited. My grandma has been cleaning and making room for all of them at her house. We, on the other, tore apart our back room and bathroom last night and have stripped all of the wallpaper off the walls. It's a bit crazy in there, but hopefully it will be painted by the 16th.
Then, the next week I will celebrate another friend's wedding and marriage with a whole bunch of festivities, including a shower and bachelorette party on my birthday.
Fam Fest begins on the 25th and I think I am helping with worship for that. "Heroes Unmasked" is the theme and it promises to be great!
When that is over, July will be here and we will spend the first week in Branson doing nothing but swimming, boating, laying out, and eating. I can.not.wait.
So, pretty much, my summer is already half over. That schedule doesn't include my "jobs" for the summer, all of the birthdays we have coming up in my family, nor does it include my summer booklist or the preparations I need to make for my internship in Chicago. Man, oh man, it's going to be a good one!
*Quick update: The Honda is in fact broken. She has several problems, the biggest being the broken condensor or evaporator. The cost to fix the A/C is more than half of what the car is still worth in her old age of 13 years and 242,000+ miles. It's going to be one hot summer...
Hope you enjoy June! It will be here and gone before we know it!
