I used to love it when summer rolled around because it meant camping trips with the family! Anywhere was sufficient, as long as we had the hobo pie makers and Marshmallows to burn.
I would have to say the most memorable camping night ever was when I pitched a tent With Rhianon, and the gang from California on the top of a Mountain It was cold and litereally sickening, but by far the most memorable! Mt. Whitney was great.
Moving on to this summer, I went previously for a night with the family in my Grandmas Back yard. So, tomorrow should be a joy to get my camp on. It is also the birthday of my long time friend tomorrow, so there is much to celebrate!
As for right now, bonfire in the backyard!
Oh how i would love to go to Cali for 2 days and hang with my brother and sister!

Trust me, I am a profesional
The week at Russ and Amy's was good, relaxing. And nice to be away from home for a while. They do have an adorable place, and it's up for sale!
As for my weekend, I worked. Enjoyed some time with my friends at Sos's open house/ graduation party. Saturday was my grandmas 90th birthday. It was enjoyable to see my aunts and Uncles, but hard to see her cry when she couldn't remember how old she was.
Today I went bowling, and watched a movie with friends. So, i pretty much pack all my fun stuff into a night, and then a day and a half. The rest of my week consists of sleep and work. So, in conclusion, I did a lot this weekend, and I miss my friends because I work a funny schedule. oh, and God rocks my face off!

My Jeep Needs a Name
Well, The weekend was a memorable one! Our sunday school class went up to Silver lake to camp for the weekend and ride the dunes!
It would have been awesome if Chases Jeep wouldn't have broken down before I got there. Since I didn't get to ride the dunes or hang out with him at all because he was working on his Jeep all weekend, it was just great...not awesome.
So, I drove on the dunes for the first time ever! It was enjoyable! I've been quoted as crazy by my friends and I think it kindof freaked my dad out a little bit. Bless his heart for worrying about us so much.
As for my jeep, it was like I was driving around in a beach, there was so much sand everywhere, I cleaned that sucker for about an hour tonight. I did manage to rip off my new fender flares that I just put on, but i can get them back on again... and I'l need to figure out a few things about how it's running, but it runs!
So all in all, it was a fun, out of the ordinary weekend that I will never forget. My grand parents had their honeymoon up there...that's pretty sweet!

As a matter of fact, I do enjoy spending time with my family, thank you very much. I enjoy spending time with my friends, and most of all... there is no most of all.
Bocci ball for 2 hours is a long time, it may have been longer than that. It was a good time eo enjoy my family, and get to know Rachel, Michaels wife.
My dad taught me how to put a muffler and tail pipe on my Jeep today, that was a very very valuable lesson to learn. Well, more like really fun to do.
As for last night, it was a joy to go to the Getty Drive-in. Speaking of drive-ins, I was driving through Grand rapids a couple of months ago and noticed a drive in church. There was no building, it was more like a stage and a bunch of parking spots. I wonder how they do it in the winter. And how the different familys have fellowship together.

The plan is to go up north on sunday after church! I am way excited to see my cousins, their parents, their kids! Everyone, and Whitney is going with us. This means that we WILL be having a botchey ball tournament. As for work, I'm done for the week. My last two clients today decided to stand me up, so iwas a little bummed about that, but Erin got some round brushing practice in on my hair so it's all good. Erin goes to school right now and will be graduating soon. Then she will be working behing the chair with us!
Sorry no fun pictures, I don't have the patience to download them right now.
I am off to play soccer with Russ now! Love you guys!

Basically, I was craving a Starbucks Mocha Chip Frapaccino and I was stuck at work. So, I went over to Beaners and had a chat with the guy taking my order. I told him, I figured he would probubly be upset with my for telling him what i wanted, but he said, tell me anyway, maybe i can make it! So, I explained to him that it was mint with some chocolate chip chunks in it and he said, "I can make something like that, let me figure out a way!" So, he finished after a few minutes and gave me what tasted JUST LIKE ONE! I told him, "I'm never going to starbucks again!" And get this...He put a chocolate chip cookie in it!

Okay, I know, I am horrible at updating my blog.
Life has been so busy lately. I am working, I have been since the begining of April, and I LOVE it! It's so much fun to be able to go to work and do what I love.
Tons of boyfriends but nobody special.
I just bought a JEEP. It's a 1990 and it's going to be so sweet. I am in the slow process of sanding it down and then priming it so I can prepare to paint it and put on some newer bigger fender flares! Yes all, I enjoy working on my Jeep. It's so fun and a great way to pass time or be angry.
I'm playing soccer with Russ and some friends of ours. Chaser playes with us once in a while but not much. It's so hot here and muggy sometimes that it makes it very hard to play for long, but we enjoy getting out there and goofing off.
As for Rhianon and Heath, i think they are coming home soon! So that will be great to have them back for a couple of weeks.
As for right now, I am off to bed because I have and early morning tomorrow. I start my day singing at the church and then... we are going to the beach. Lake michigan is a good 45 minutes from here so we are making a day of it. I just packed everything up so i can leave right after church! Soccer ball, frisbee snacks and all!
Love you Guys!

ITS BEEN WAY TOO LONG
Wow, it certainly has been too long. My apologies to those whom I miss, and those who miss me.
The past couple of months have been filled with catching up with friends, enjoying myself and home, and looking for a job. Part of my job search was getting certified and I can say that I am officially a licensed Cosmetologist now. So, that happened on Friday, my plan for this week is to contact all the places I have applied at and let them know where I stand now.
It is beginning to get hard to not have a job, and not know how long it will take to get one. My every intention is to get one I know I will enjoy, and it's just what I will do.
As for today, my pastor had a great analogy. He was talking about how we should take joy in the suffering we endure. The suffering that God inflicts to make us better. And how we should trust Him like we do a doctor. We put so much faith in doctors these days, we allow them to hurt us and cut us and open us up. All of this is so they can fix us. It's just the same with God. Amazing to me, I never looked at it that way before.
As for you guys, I really do miss you all and one day will be back to see you!

HOME AGAIN
So, it has been quite a while. My intentions were to keep up better than I have been. It is certainly great to be back home. The snow (finally), the family, and friends.
It has been a little harder than I was hoping for to find a job, but I'm not giving up. After this week I should have a better idea of what it will look like to get a job. I may neew to find something temporary while I keep searching, but this is such a slow time of year for salons that they usaually aren't looking. I'm not usually one to ask, but some preayers owuld be great.
As for the weekend, my Aunt and Unkle will be here so that should be fun! They are such sweet people.
We certaily did have fun with Rhianon's birthday presents!
