Happy August 1st.

So as I sit outside my house writing to all of my followers (I have 2 right now), I am watching the lush green grass that looks so nice due to all the rain that I have had to bear through with this summer. I can also feel the blazing sun beating down my neck and I'm thinking, this day is a beautiful way to start off the final month of summer. And while saying that probably makes me sound like a downer I don't care because with August beginning, it means many things for me. First of all it means that I will soon fly back to my mom, step-dad, little sister, and all of my friends. Secondly, it means that I will be able to get back to a normal routine. And Third, its means that I will be starting my Junior year of high school and a brand new school never to be used before, and for some odd reason that excites me to no end. I know, as a high school student it is horrible to say that I am excited for school to resume session but sadly it is true. I'm ready for summer to end and the next chapter of high school to begin.

I have spent these first two months of summer wallowing in the fact that I have very few friends at my dad's. Yes, I have the people I've grown up with, and the few neighbors that I have gotten to know in the time I am here every year. But, whats really sad is that while I have sat her, in my bedroom doing nothing waiting for my plans to come to me. People are out having fun and more than likely laughing that I'm the girl that sits at home every night with nothing to do because of the fact that I don't know anyone because I don't attend school in this tiny rinky-dink town. But with summer coming to a close I am learning that the time a spent by self helped me prepare for the fun that will be had when I get home and get to see all of my real friends for the first time in months. haha.

August has come. In the coming 15 days I have may plans. Helping with my church's Vacation Bible School, Golf Tournaments for the American Cancer Society, working, packing, a Bills v. Bears football game, and last but not least a flight at 6:30 in the morning to return back to reality. Once back into reality though I know these words about being ready to start school again are going to come back and bite me in the butt. I will be waiting for the next break we have off but lets just say for now that I can't wait to be back with the people who I really like to spend my time with.

Happy August 1st! :)
