What a summer! So many changes, trips, and great times.
It started off with the school year ending June 5th. Then about two weeks later on the 18th, my dad and I took a summer, father/daughter road trip. We drove straight through the first night and day, the 18 hours to the Grand Canyon. Made a loop passing through Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Seattle, and then to our home sweet home. We made the trip in seven days. What an adventure on the road.
Then I continued slinging coffee at CCC, going to concerts with Lindsey and the rest of the gang, some late night convos, Patty and I doing our "thang", and hitting the gym when I could.
The girls and I took a trip the the desert. It was hot, hot, HOT! Palm Springs- a great place to go and relax, even in 115 degree temps. We made our way to Anaheim to hit up Disneyland on Linds' birthday and went to LA to visit Michael. He gave us a tour of E! Entertainment and got to meet "Topanga" and Bill Nye the Science Guy while watching a recording of The Dish.
Then it was back to slinging coffee, cheer practice, some more late night convos, outings with friends, an audition, cheer camp, and summer school.
Another big event happened on August 15th. One of my best friends, since we were three years old, got married. Sheena and Gran's wedding was wonderful and Sheena was beautiful! What a blast helping her put one of the most important days of her life together.
Then, a huge decision was made. I decided that I'm going back to school. What a hard choice to make to leave an area with my closest friends and great jobs, but I know it is the best thing for me. I've been talking about change all summer and now I'm doing it- for me. It's time. I am so excited for my future and to see where the road will take me.
I've also met someone absolutely amazing. Day by day, but we are enjoying each other and what we have. He makes me happy and I feel great about myself!
I'm happy.
