traveling and so much more
Last Wednesday I flew into Chicago after a full day of traveling due to two delays and pulled up to my sister's new house in Plano at about 1:00am. I spent the next two days there and in Naperville hanging out with my niece and seeing some of the best friends I'll ever have. From there on Saturday I drove to Ohio for Leah's bachlorette party, which was awesome because I got to see a few more of the best friends I'll ever have. Left the party around 2, drove back to Marion with my roommate and crashed. It's actually all a blur to me. The past two weeks of my life have been crazy, but it's been awesome to be able to see everyone too.When I finally rolled out of bed Sunday afternoon I began project "get my room in order" (aka "make my room look like anything but a dorm room") which consists of making curtains and a bedskirt, and sanding and refinishing my desk. I managed to get most of it done in one day too, which is amazing to me because I get easily distracted. By 8:00pm I was sitting on my livingroom floor, on a drop cloth sanding my desk and watching tv. When 10 rolled around I gave up on sanding and just watched tv til I fell asleep. Over the next 3 days I would stain, sand, and stain my desk until finally it was my desired color. I spent most of today hanging pictures, matting frames, and cleaning... and hanging with the roommate of course.
Can I just say that love doing this sort of thing. I've really enjoyed making my room and the rest of my apartment feel like home. So if you've been wondering what I've been up to, and I'm sure you have, there you have it.
On a different note, I went to my roommate's picnic for work and met a bunch of really interesting people. I got to work with her and her teens for a bit and it was really interesting, but sad too. (She works at a foster care agency) I can't imgine the living my life the way these kids have to and in some cases choose to. It is absolutely astounding what parents do to their children sometimes.
I've been looking for ideas for my senior project and my internship this fall and I really think that I want to do something for this place. Foster care creates so much hope for lost kids and a lot of the time it leads to adoption. If you're the praying type, pray that when I do my awareness/fundraising campaign for this place I'm successful so they can be successful too.
Anyway, Leah's wedding is this Saturday and I'm singing and playing in it along with another guitar, two singers and a pianist. We haven't and aren't going to be able to rehearse until the night before, so it's going to be crazy. I'm excited though because Theresa will be there and I haven't seen her in over a year because she was in China! Yay!
Well, there's what's new with me. I might be able to update this more often than I thought because somehow my wireless internet is picking up a signal from someone else. I wasn't going to get internet, but if it's available, I'm gonna use it. Night all.
