I bought a car in June! My mom was actually looking at it for herself, but when she decided against it, I snatched it up. I got an incredible deal on it! The challenging part is that I still cannot drive it - I barely got the pink slip in the mail today (because it was leased) even though the car has been in my possession for a couple of weeks now. Thankfully I have been able to drive my parents' third car while I have been waiting. And, my Vue sold in two days. PTL! On the way to drop it off to the new owners, a rock flew up and hit the windshield. Only me!! BUT, they still bought it and my insurance came out and fixed it for them a week later. The Vue was a great car for me. I really liked it - and I heard that Honda's are wonderful as well...so hopefully this car will last me for a looong time!
My family and I traveled down to SoCal for a relative's wedding (decorated very nicely) and a dodger's game in a luxury suite courtesy of Warner Bros. It was the most amazing game I have ever been to!
Here are some pics from the July 4 celebration at Brooke and Ryan's house. We went there last year and again for this year's holiday. The weather wasn't too bad and we enjoyed hanging out and watching some fireworks in the street. The night before my dad and I enjoyed the city's fireworks display from my backyard. I live so close to the football field we thought it would be a great (free) event, but some trees obstructed the view a bit. It was still fun and I am glad we tried it.
I went to Woodleaf this past weekend for a night. We weren't even there for 24 hours and it was a tease to go up and back in such a short period of time. The last time I had been to Woodleaf was right before I left for NJ - five years ago exactly!! So crazy!! It is mostly the same, and so many memories and smells came back to me when I stepped out of the car. I do love YL camp, especially assignment, that is probably one of the things I miss the most about YL staff. We took some Delhi leaders up there to show them around. It was fun seeing it through their eyes for the first time.
Today the high is supposed to be 112. Summer weather is definitely here! On Saturday my family and I leave for another Dodger game...and then Sunday we leave for a week long cruise to the Mexican Riviera. It is a terrible time for me to leave work-wise...but this cruise was booked before Christmas and obviously I had no idea what my schedule would be like at that time. Thankfully my co-workers are filling in for me while I am gone. I am looking forward to some rest and relaxation!
We are in the sixth week of our server being down at work. This has been super hard for me as I am very OCD when it comes to having my office organized and things planned for and done on time. Now my desk is overflowing with past due assignments that cannot be accomplished until the server comes back up. I cannot wait to get my work-life back in order and get caught up!!
I am aggressively looking for work back East. Who knows when and if it will happen, but I am ready to go whenever God opens up an opportunity. I will keep you updated!
