So as Summer 2011 draws to a close,
I find it necessary to reflect on what has made this summer so great.
It started off a bit shaky.
My graduation party rolled around,
and I came to the realization that though a lot of people didn't show up,
the small large group that did;
is more than I ever could have asked for!
Those 20ish friends that showed up,
have been the ones I've spent so much of my time with this summer.
From swimming to camping,
I have loved every moment!
From Erick's "I saw her nipple!"
To Cassandra's "I'm about to shiz my pants!"
I have had a lot of fun.
When we saved that kid's life at ahquabi,
I think it has brought us all closer.
Life is precious,
and you never know when your's will end.
I think some of us really learned this that night on that level-b.
But level-b's are good for something,
campouts!
Though, I didn't talk much that night;
I learned a lot.
I learned that I needed to spend more time just talking to God.
Not to mention escaping talk and behavior that I disliked.
Speaking of campouts,
the campout at my second home was probably the best night of my summer.
We were real with each other that night.
Us going around in a circle telling each other what we really thought about each other was a great idea.
That's what we need to do as a group;
be honest with each other.
I have found that it is the times where you do nothing but hang out,
that bring friends together.
I like our little group so much!
We started out the summer having inappropriate fun,
but now we can get together and have fun without acting immature.
We are even to the point where we hang out and go to church as a group.
That is what has helped us all to have such a good summer together;
God.
God has been the highlight of my summer.
Tristate was the best!
I'm sorry to say it to my friends but I miss it and I'd rather be there;
except with all of you!
I can't explain the greatness of it,
you have to experience it yourself.
I made amazing friendships there;
not to mention my new family and learning that I am social.
I know now that I can do great in college and life;
and it is because of the great friendships I've made this summer.
I wouldn't be who I am now without you guys!
I want to leave so that I can impact new people and take with me all that I have learned this summer;
but it still sucks to have to leave :(
So we won't say goodbye.
Instead we will say hello.
Hello to new oppurtunities for us all to live the life God intended. :)
Peace...for now.
Ya'll know you'll be hearing from me real soon :)
