shopping and shopping and shots... OH MY!

I don't think I fully understood the phrase "shop till you drop" until this week! Looking carefully over my packing list and smiling each time I draw squiggly lines through a word with my trusty purple pen has made me come to the shocking realization that I leave in less than a week!

This eventful summer has flown by! A brief synopsis to catch you up to the present day...

I started working my second season at Water Country back in January as one of the training coordinators and stayed until July 17th . I have enjoyed the new experience of being a lifeguard instructor and hope I get the opportunity to do it again next year.

I am very happy to say that I have a new sister...well sister-in-law...but Ashleigh fits into the family so well she might as well be a sister. Love you!!!

On June 12th I graduated in Richmond, VA with over two hundred other homeschool graduates at the Convention Center. During our church graduation celebration I was voted most likely to open a veggie burger franchise

I lost my voice two months ago and it was gone for about a month and a half. I went through 12 dry-erase markers! It was unclear as to whether or not I was going to be able to go to Argentina, but nothing can stop the Lord's will. I was diagnosed with severe muscle tension dysphonia caused by Larangytis. I have been working with a Speech Therapist, who is awesome, and I am happy to say that my vocal pitch has dropped from 340 back to a normal 220 :)

My FBI background check came back and they were unable to find anything on me ;)

Grandmom and I celebrated our birthdays... I am officially 18!

I got my shots and had no issues which is an answer to prayer!

God is bringing everything together perfectly! I am so grateful to have an awesome support group of people who care about me!

6 MORE DAYS!!!!!
