goodbye summer...

The summer is officially over for me! I am done with the internship, I’m all moved in at OC, and classes start on Monday! This has been an absolutely amazing summer, though! I can safely say it has been one of the most exciting summers that I recall! I am sad to see it pass by, but I know this semester at OC has a lot in store for me as well. I will do a quick recap for everyone and cover some of the main events of the summer!

Cruise to Mexico with Chrissy and Kirby! We had an amazing time hanging out and getting to know each other more. We got to hang out at the beach, get massages at the beach, go snorkeling, and all sorts of other amazing things! We had a blast, to say the least!

Then I started my internship at Park Avenue. There are so many things from this summer that I got to share with y’all through my blog, but there are also so many things that I didn’t. There were so many fun and memorable things to happen while at Park Avenue and it would be impossible to share each and every one.

One of my most memorable times while working with Park Avenue was getting to go to the OC camps. I have attended an OC camp since I was in 7th grade! It was neat to get to go back as a counselor and kind of be on the other side of things. It was tiring and stressful at times, but it was also a lot of fun!

Someone pointed out to Matt and I that we both open our mouths for crazy pictures. I didn't know what they were talking about until I saw these two...

Then there was the mission trip! I just wrote all about that, so there isn’t much left to say about it. It was, however, a life changing experience that I will never forget!

Then, of course, I have to be cheesy and say that another great thing about this summer was meeting Matt! We really hit it off at the very beginning of the summer and I knew that our relationship would grow very quickly… which it did! It’s going to be tough being away from each other this semester, but I know it will work out. We have so much fun together and we can talk about anything and everything with each other. He is very special to me and is truly a blessing in my life. :)

Well those are some of the “highlights” of the summer. I am all moved into my new apartment here at OC. We have to get a few things from the store to finish “decorating” then I will take some pictures to put up! This is going to be a busy, but fun, semester so I’m sure I’ll have plenty of stories to tell. I will post about my classes sometime next week (after I’ve actually BEEN to my classes!!). That’s all for now!
