being back

I'm soo happy to be back home :) I missed Sammy's early morning visits to come in my room to have his adorable little head petted. I missed Elliot's early morning visits (the boys in my house like the mornings :) ) to come in and say something that always make me laugh or ask me what I did after he went to bed. I missed Mom and our late night talks. I missed Dad and the great food he cooks, and our whole family after dinner talks.

This picture was of Elliot filling me in on the latest funny videos, and Sammy being an adorable old man. :)

• beautiful
• rural
• urban (not being contradictory)
• enjoyable
• stressful
• lovely
• impressive
• annoying
• scary
• far away
• impactful (see above :) haha)
• exhausting
• confusing
• polite
• grateful
• surprising

There you have it! Did anyone see the comment I left on the "Drive to Maine" post? Apparently no one did otherwise they would have told my family.... Anyways while we were in Germany I could not access my e-mail because the computer I was using (at the creepy internet cafe) said my password was invalid. That was upsetting. So instead I could access my blog, so I left a comment and hoped my family would see it. They didn't see it until I got home and told them about it. Oh well :) I'll give you a little taste of the 500 some pictures I took soon.

Drive to Maine

 

 Hello Everyone! :) We made it to Maine! Here are some pictures to document the trip. 

Above: Elliot acting like a gangster....(fail!)

 Below: Mom and Dad looking peachy at a Mexican restaurant in Mississippi

 Below: The best travel snack ever! EVER! :D

 Below: Elliot and I on stone mountain in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a lovely hike to break up the sitting.

I'll post more pictures of Maine soon. I'm leaving on Sunday to go to Europe.....i'm getting excited. :)

packing for the summer

This picture says it all. I took all the clothes out of my closet and drawers, sorted through what I wanted to take and what was going to stay then folded everything back up to put into bags. Packing for the summer is a big deal!
 Sammy laid on the floor with his head in my lap the whole time. :) I love Sammy, he's such a delightful companion.

Finals!

I have biology finals in the morning! I'm so excited to just get it done. :) One less class to worry about, and school is almost out. Yes! Today grandpa and I went to a park and studied for 90 min. It was lovely and I feel very prepared for the test. That's why I'm doing a blog post and not studying for the test right now. ;) Pray for me!
