Headed home in just about a week!

I head home next week! I cannot wait!! :-)

I had an interesting week this week...

Monday, I watched Will while Petra had her Dr. appt. Then headed to the hospital for Petra's test that had to be done. After we returned home a couple hours later to play some games.

Tuesday, I did not do much. I watched Will during naptime so Petra could teach her piano lessons.

Wednesday, I went shopping and out to lunch with a friend. Then went to church. After church, I went and played games with friends!W

Thursday, I went scrapbooked with Mandie and then went home. Little Jonathan spent the night at my house.

Friday, I went swimming with Petra, Will, LeeAnn, and Jonathan. I then went to a friends house and spent the night.

Saturday, My friends and I went to the beach and had a beautiful day!!

Jonathan spending the night at my house!

Will and the Zoo we made!

This next week I will be running a girls all sports camp! PRAY FOR ME! LOL I am excited and nervous about it at the same time!

Then next Monday (1st) I head home to Pennsylvania!

Quote for the week: "Sometimes I wish that I was a little more important to people! I don't wish to be center of attention or anything, I just hate being pushed to the curb!"

A visitor from home....

Its been an interesting but boring past few weeks. I know what everyone is thinking...*How can it be interesting but boring?* Let me explain....

Since the summer began I have basically done NOTHING but sit around in my little apart.

Occasionally, I have gone to the beach, to a friend's house, or something like that. Life has been a struggle with the day to day battles like the following: fighting the loneliness of being over 18 hours from my family, difficulties with friendships, and struggling in my walk with Christ. I know the Lord has a plan for my life but finding it has proven to be very difficult! Through these battles this summer, I have grown closer to the Lord, and I am truly thankful that He put me through some things.

Through everything I am learning some things....

1st - Don't ask God to lead your path if your not going to move your feet!

2nd - It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. It's worth the risk to open your heart. ~ thanks Scott

Anyways...back to my interesting/boring summer.

Well last week is where it got AMAZING! My amazing friend from home, Natalie, came all the way down to Florida to visit me before her big day! We had a blast just spending time together like we used to do when I was 11 and she was 9! We went to Islands of Adventure, the mall, the beach, and the pool! All the while talking about the past and what lie ahead of us in the future! It was so good to see her...especially because after I go home for her wedding...I probably won't see her for awhile! We had a blast together! Dropping her off at the airport on Friday night was one of the hardest things I have had to do!

Letting go has always been a hard thing for me...and this song truly has helped me out!

Here we are now, Everything is about to change

We face tomorrow as we say goodbye to yesterday

A chapter ending but the stories only just begun

A page is turning for everyone

So I'm moving on, Letting go,

Holding on to tomorrow

I've always got the memories while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be

We might be apart but I hope you always know

You'll be with me wherever I go

Here are some pictures from our time together!

Nata washing our supper dishes her 1st night here...crazy girl! The drive to Orlando and Islands of Adventure! Spider Man SAVE US!!! Super Heroes! Three girls having a blast at the park! LETS GO FAST!!!

The perfect ending to a GREAT day!

Sorry this has been one big jumbled mess of emotions...but this is my life! LOL and I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Photo Shoot in the Park...kinda

We had a wonderful day! We headed to West Palm for Petra's Dr. appt. I got to hear their little baby's heartbeat for the 1st time! It was amazing! (Due Aug 7th) After the appt., we headed to the park to let Will get some energy out before the dinner meeting. We saw this awesome tree: and I couldn't pass up taking some pictures! **Granted these pics were taken with a phone camera**



After taking pictures, we headed to dinner. After that meeting, we went and had a tour of the hospital where Petra will deliver her baby in the next few weeks! So glad that they have let me be a part of this miracle! Can't wait for this baby to come!!
