Summah

Here is a short journey through my summer. First of all I lost my camera this summer. In the midst of moving out of my house in College Station and being slightly sick it was missing for over a month. So part of my summer is missing...sad. It was in the back seat of my car the entire time, in a bag. That morning I prayed that I would find my camera that morning...and I did. Seriously, the Lord is Good.
Bruce and I had a garage sale.

My friend had a Philly themed party for me when I found out I was moving there! Awesome.
Roommate #1 wedding (Laura and Justin) July 12.
Roommate #2 wedding (Ashley and Ben) July 19th. Both weddings were amazing fun.


I found my camera!
Grace Brazile and I have a moment at camp (Hidden Falls Ranch)
Campers..at camp.
Weekends with the Braziles...the normal stuff like midnight vampire book releases with meat trays and stickers.

Palo Duro Canyon..what I got to wake up to every day for four weeks.

good summer.

Here it goes...in West Philadelphia?

Greetings Friends,

Since last writing I have gotten even closer to my goal of working with Mission Year. Through your generous support I have raised well over the $12,000 required for my year of service. I can not thank you enough for your generosity. It means so much to me that you would support me in this way.
I have also figured out that I will be spending the next two years in Philadelphia, PA! I am very excited to head well East and well North of my comfortable Texas home to an entirely new climate and atmosphere. I will be living in a house with five other girls who are from all over the US doing the same thing that I am this year. Get excited!
My summer has been good and God totally worked out my fundraising because I really did not have a whole lot of time to concentrate on it. I spent my summer in between College Station and Amarillo spending time with family and attending the weddings of dear college friends. I also had the opportunity to make some money working as a camp counselor at the camp I grew up going to, Hidden Falls Ranch. It was a trying summer in many ways, but also a great one spent with the people I love. I am very excited about this next phase in my life. I hope you will pray for me as I finish up packing and working on details here in Amarillo. I will try to update my blog here often...


coming soon a pictorial journey through my summer
