Back in the day when I used to go to church camp in the great state of Iowa, my friend Lindsay and I used to like to be lazy, and the excuse we always gave for being lazy was "It's summer." Well, I can finally use that excuse once again.....It's summer!
A quick update on life for the past few (very busy) weeks: I attempted to educate teenage kids in the month of June = not easy. And yet, the end of the year is always a fun time because you know your students the best, and they know you, and it can just be plain old fun in the classroom. LOFT ended on the Thursday before final exams, and my girls were all so sweet to me. They gave me a bracelet and a nice card. I am already getting pumped for next year's LOFT club! Our school's talent show was a blast, like it always is. I even made an appearance on the stage! If you want to see a version of what I performed...go here. Some of the biggest news of my life is that I have found a place to live for next year! One of my current roommates and I found a really nice condo a week and a half ago, and, although we were one of 5 people looking at the place, we got chosen! It's going to be wonderful....I have had an awesome living situation for the past 4 years out here, but it's time for a change, and this is going to be a good one. So...if anyone has any house items they don't want....I only have a bookself, drawers, desk, and a few mugs to my name....so I am in the market for some cheap stuff. :)
Yesterday was our last day of final exams, and at 11:15 I drove to the airport to pick up a special guest...my brother Joel!! He and his wife Lora just got back to the US from Nica-land a few days ago, and he decided it was time to come check up on his little sis out in Cali. So far we've had a blast....touring my school campus, lunch at Applebee's, swim time at a friend's house, nap, HS graduation ceremony, an evening run, and coffee with Aaron. Today the plan is to head to Oak Glen apple orchard for a picnic and fun outdoors time. Tomorrow after our staff breakfast/goodbye meeting we might head to Disneyland, and then off to Big Bear on Saturday.
Life. Is. Good. It's summer. :)

I seriously JUST told Joe about this the other day. I used "it's summer" as an excuse to not do something (probably laundry) and he didn't think it was legit. UNTIL I told him how you used to say it all the time...and in your special voice. Then he thought it was funny. I CAN'T WAIT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU!!
