That's life

While it's hard to believe that July 1st is almost here, which is the official half-way through summer day (trust me, I have a countdown till move-in day in my agenda), it's also welcome.  But to be honest, I'm feeling a bit better, mentally.  I'm almost done with the hardest portion of the summer...from here on out, I'll mostly be working my regular shift at the nursing home, so I'll feel much more comfortable and ready for work. 

Last week I was back home for my friend's wedding...a week ago we were finishing up last minute details on the wedding program!  Wow.  The time home went really quickly, but it was full of fun times.  A friend from high school who lives in Texas now stayed at my house for the week, and we really reconnected, which was super wonderful.  The wedding itself was fabulous.  Everything went so smoothly, minus being a bit rushed for getting hair done in the morning...but things just went so well, I don't think we could've asked for a more perfect day.  And, let's admit it, I was super excited for the dance, 'cause I haven't been dancing in ages.

And after the wedding the hair went also...at least, my hair!  All nice and chopped off :-).  I grew it out for the wedding, and it got down past my shoulders and was already super heavy.  I have such thick hair, I really don't know how I kept it long for such a long time when I was younger.  It's nice for work now, instead of having to gather it all up into a messy bun to keep it out of the way, it goes in a nice little ponytail.  It really is the little things.

Don't pay attention to the *ahem* unwashed hair.  I don't do very much on my days off.  Maybe I shouldn't mention those are my pajamas either...

So now my days just consist of working on applications for grad schools and beginning to think about the GRE in August, along with getting excited for a week I'll spend home in the middle of July with my mom while Dad's at Philmont with the Scout troop.  We're planning a trip to Branson for part of my time home since my family's never been there before.

And that's life!
