The end of the Summer was eventful, emotional and I learned a lot about myself. Sure, it was just the end of a season but, "season" has many meanings and I find myself having gone through one the last little while and find myself entering a new one as Summer ends.
First my parents and I dug up our front yard. We had some ugly shrub things there for about, sixteen years and we removed them finally. Woot.
It was time for my wisdom teeth to come out. I wasn't nervous about the surgery so much as I was about "going under." I don't like to think about sleep for too long even if I'm just going to bed. It makes me nervous, and being put to sleep made me more nervous. But, I came out alive. I wasn't in too much pain afterwards, but it wasn't something I'd ever want to do again. I got some nice gifts though: flowers, balloons and large lollipops!
I received my diploma from Weber State. Just an Associate degree, but it is an accomplishment.
I had a few friends over from '06 band. It was fun to get together again and see how much we've changed, and how much we've stayed the same.
I was finally able to visit the new Newseum. For those who might be unaware: I love the news and media. It was expensive to go to this museum but, it was worth all the money. Also you can see in this picture I bought myself new sunglasses. They are extra fly. :)
Mom, Dad and I went to Duck in the Outer Banks of NC again this year. It was a blast. We only spent a few days there but, I soaked it up in the Atlantic as well as in our backyard pool. This picture won't rotate for some reason. Sorry.
My good friend Sarah and I went to KingsD. We rode all the major roller coasters, the carousel, ate chicken sandwiches and ice cream and purchased a funnel cake for the journey home. A great day!
I finished the best summer job ever. I loved every minute of it. I already miss my coworkers and all the fun that I had with them this summer! Here are a few of those who kept me cracking up. They made me the shirt I am wearing in this picture.
I was able to see Jamie and her family for a few days as I made my way out to Boise. I will miss living so close to their family this year.
Now I am living in Boise. I just finished my first week of band camp and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and the school year. Go Broncos!
