Whew, it has been way to long since the last time I posted, but then again I sure have been busy. Summer 2011 is here, but it feels like I have gotten more busy! So since the summer is here that means I have completed 2 years of college! Woooaaahhh, wait a minute, that means I am going to be a Junior in college in the fall. Wow!!
Summer began and I jumped head first into doing things I love. Spent one lovely Saturday afternoon the Post Office food drive, then volunteered that next week at Yoke fellow. (I got some good quality time with those cans). I of course have been spending many days at West Lenoir Elementary volunteering, some in the library, some in the classroom, and even one day of proctoring the Science EOG. Took some time one evening to babysit the kids that I have kept for the past seven years at least. (Man, thats a long time, and those kids are growing up way to fast).
I kept the month of May moving along and on May 21st I had the first support group meeting for Hydrocephalus in North Carolina. I took on the role of organizing it and joined with 12 other people that are affected by Hydrocephalus. There were 5 of us that have hydrocephalus and got to learn more about each other. It was a very eventuful weekend. (Skittles wanted to make sure he wasn't forgotten and decided to role off the poarch steps :o).
The next weekend, which was this past weekend was Memorial Day weekend. But if you know me well enough then you my know that Memorial Day weekend means its recital time. I have now finished my 14th year of dancing under the instruction of Star Steps Dance Center. I am so thankful that I am able to dance. This year I not only danced but also worked as stage manager. It truly was a job, but I really enjoyed it!
So between all this, I keep reminding myself that summer is a time to relax. While I will be taking two classes this summer, it is a break from having a heaving load of many hours of classes. I will be volunteering, working, hanging out with friends, spending time with family, traveling a little bit, and what ever else falls into the schedule.
The summer is amazing, and I am thankful that I am getting to enjoy it in my home town. While there my not be much in Lenoir, it is the place I have grown up in, and I continue to find things to do. I have discovered that doing good deeds and helping others tied with feeling relaxed don't often go together for many people. Well for me it sure is. Lenoir has so much to offer that makes one feel good, you just have to take the time to find it!
Well it's only May 31st and the high was 97 degrees. Summer doesn't start till June
