Hello world!

Well, this is it! My first big girl blog! I just moved into my first apartment last weekend, so I felt the need to start a new chapter with a new blog. Hopefully, this will be the place where I can rave about how well school is going in the fall or just complain about how crazy my students are making me. I will be teaching second grade. Woo…it will be a challenging year.

For now, I’m just working at the public library, which is about a two minute walk from where I live. It’s kind of a boring job sometimes, but it’s awesome in terms of stress. A lot less than working with kids like I have done for the past three summers!

Earlier in the summer, I went on several trips. The first was to RUF Summer Conference in Panama City Beach, FL. It was amazing!! Beach, Bible, and babes (as Justin says). After that I stayed with my friend Julia in Memphis one night. We went to a local Theatre Festival, which was pretty neat. Something small towns don’t have much of. Soon after that, I went to Chicago to check out the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry. Then of course, I had a 10 day trip to Ukraine and Austria with my church college choir. It was busy, but lots of fun! Since I love taking pictures, there are hundreds from these trips alone. I’ll just try to attach a few below to give you an idea of my summer thus far. Enjoy

We ate out during Summer Conference at Margaritaville!

We enjoyed lots of free time on the beach!

I got this done at the Theatre Festival in Memphis.

They had facepainting too!

David & I took several pictures of the bean at Millenium Park in Chicago.

Here’s an ad for the Harry Potter Exhibition inside the museum.

These are a few of the kids we worked with all week in Ukraine.

We had lots of fun in Europe and even saw a symphony!
