i can't believe i haven't posted since may. the summer has gone by so fast-but that's okay because its been a pretty good one! from june 1st-August 1 i babysat for a 6 and 8 year old. they are pretty good kids, but i was with them for 50 hours a week and it got old real fast. i'm so glad that's over! i've also decided to "retire" from babysitting. i've been babysitting since i was 10 years old-more than half my life and i can't take it anymore! don't get me wrong-i LOVE kids, but i'm tired of watching other people's kids :)
in summers past i've always tried to take at least one or two trips to the beach. wrightsville beach is only 2 hours away so its not a bad drive. this summer my parents have made day trips to the beach a regular thing. we've gone every other weekend since the summer started and its been so much fun! we've been to wilmington, southport and topsail island. this coming weekend we are headed to carolina beach. day trips are not as hard as you may think. we pack coolers with sandwiches, snacks and drinks and load the car with beach chairs, towels and umbrellas...and that's it! we leave around 8 am and arrive at the beach by 10. we stay till be are sunburned and water logged and then we rinse off in the showers and grab a bite to eat on the way home. its a mini vacation that always feel like more a day trip, with the big bonus of sleeping in my own bed at night!
yesterday i stared my internship at eastway elementary school. i'm so excited to be there! i will post more on the details soon.
and to put the icing on the summer cake-my bestest friend in the whole wide world is coming to visit me next week! this will be her first trip here since i moved here 6 years ago! i haven't seen her in almost 2 years! i'm so excited to see her and show her my life here. i realize this post is a big jumble of info, but i wanted to give you something! bye for now!
