Is Summer Over Yet???

What a night! Ok so the day started off not the best cause I had to work at 9:30AM, which meant getting up at 7:30AM. But work went well, and actually pretty fast. After work, I went to Terra Jean's house for a partay. Mandi came over too. We had a really good time, just us three girls! First we ate dinner; can you say BBQ??? I have realized that BBQing is just one of the most fantastic things to do with friends. Be prepared for lots of this going on next year y'all! So we ate some great food (hats off to the chef, Mr.Sandquist) and of course did what us girls do best: talked. Through all of our reminiscing, I have become so excited for what we are going to experience next fall. Throughout this last year, we have all built such great bonds with each other. There now lays a firm foundation just waiting to see what we will build on it. I really just can't wait for this summer to be over with. I now that's sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it is true. I want to be back in Mankato, with the troops that i love so dearly. Don't get me wrong, I am so thrilled that I have no test to study for or a paper to write, but I miss my friends. I miss the laughter, the hugs, the smiles, the movies... I do love being with my family. I missed them a lot this year. Not going home much definitely was a strain for me. I really wish we could all just be together all the time: friends and family! I do know this time away is good for all of us. Not that we need a break from each other cause we are sick of being around each other, at least I hope that's not the case. But, we need time to grow on our own, away from the stresses of school. We need to be able to have a break from the people that we saw every single day of the semester. Then we can come back in the fall, ready for what God is going to use us all together for. I am just so excited to see what that is! I just know it is going to be great!
