and the summer is rolling.

I am still in Duncan. I have to say I really enjoy it here. It's a different type of summer than last summer, but none the less still SUPER busy. I have a week until World Changers, then straight to Super Summer, then VBS. It's non stop, but I am a non-stop kinda girl. I love spending time with the youth here. I feel like myself I am just a kid stuck in a 20 year old body. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know students on a personal level and being real with each other. Just livin' life, but lovin' Jesus at the same time.

Today, I went shopping with my friend Kathryn. We went to the city (that's OKC for you Texans!) and shopped our hearts out! Really, we had a great time and I probably spent a penny too much. Then we met up with one of my friends I met at Falls Creek and ate dinner. There is just something so sweet about reuniting with a friend after a year-ish. 

The toughest part of the summer is being away from what is normal.  There is no UMHB here, there is no Jake here (sad, sad), no Ashley's, not one.  There is a lot that happens though when one is out of their comfort zone. I am thankful for the fact that I have one person here to run to - the Lord.  I am thankful for the unbelievable friendships that I have with so many people that require one or two hour conversations. I love hearing about everyone's summers and what's going on. I am trying my best to live in the now, to not rush my summer away. I am in no hurry, at all, to grow up. It's actually starting to scare me. (that's a whole different blog.) 

I did get to see my precious baby sister be the best softball player ever last weekend! They won the tournament!! She has quite the trophy collection now. She is so great, and starting high school in the fall. WAIT, WHAT?! I am not so excited about that, but I know those years are so fun for her. I am proud of who she is, and I am proud to have such a loving baby sister. To me, sure, but to everyone around her. Her joy is contagious, and I love that about her.

 Miss you mamoo.
