Days of HECK!

Well, as many of you know, I am taking summer school classes (2) as well as working two jobs. Times are getting stressful. Today I hit my peak. Everything just seemed to fall and NOTHING was working to my advantage. I spent my whole afternoon which I had off, the only day I had off at Home Depot! We have to get all this junk for our presentation and what else happened I got wood stainer on my nice shirt (that doesn't come off btw). To top it all off grades were posted for a project and none to say the least I was not happy.

I am literally counting down the days until this class is done. 6 school days to go with only 9 full days until I leave. Honestly I wouldn't mind staying in Tucson the rest of the summer..... but at this point I need to get away. I think the 5 week vacation (sad yes this will be a vacation just going home) will be nice. I will still be working in tempe but it will be different.

I think the other thing I am looking forward to is air conditioning! We have swamp coolers at our apt. and well when its 51% humidity like its been the past 3 days, it doesn't work so well. The average temp in our apartment since about saturday has been 87 degrees. Its hot and humid and I am ready for at least a cool apartment or the air conditioning at home.

I honestly hope that your summer is going way better than mine! Maybe you can tell me all about your trips once I am done with summer school and I can vicariosly live through you! Have fun! <3

Long time

Whoa! I realized I had not been on in FOREVER! My sisters wedding on May 23 was absolutely beautiful! She looked like a ray coming off the sun just so beyond happy. I will try to post pictures once I figure out how too. Spending the weekend with family and friends was glorious. It really felt like a family reunion. My dads side of the family came and I honestly rarely get to see them so that was nice.

Summer has started and I have actually already finished one classs! It was only three weeks long, but really it turned out to be quite simple! The class was basic skills in counseling and greatest was my teacher was actually a marriage and family therapist... EXACTLY what I wanted to do. I really enjoyed hearing his stories and just talking with him.

Now onto summer one classes......5 weeks of craziness. The first 2 days of class I was stressin. I think my english class is going to be more work than what everyone had told me which made me frusterated. I felt like I got the hard teacher, and contemplated dropping the class, but hey if I get a B its not that bad.

Things have started to look up. As I told my mom in an email today the Lord does answer prayers. As I have been teaching the new member discussions I have realized how much I take this gospel for adventage (that sounds funny in my head but oh well). I feel like I have just taken it for granted. Since sunday I have really stepped up my game. Funny, Erica's visiting teachers came over and while I was in my room I heard one of the girls say something and it really struck me hard. Its just funny how the Lord speaks to us.

OH thats another thing. I moved in with Erica 2.5 weeks ago. Right now we still have our own bedrooms but come august we will share. I am way excited. We get along so well, but we know when we need just me time! I absolutely love living with my best friend!

Well thats all for now. I LOVE YOU all!
