sweet summer.

Well, it's been quite the summer! My friend did a bulleted list of some things she did this summer and I thought I'd do the same:

• drove across the country with my best friend/sicolega/cousin and my brother and SIL.
• discovered Charleston, SC with my SIL, went on a haunted tour at night of the city, and also visited Cypress Gardens
• stopped in Nashville, St. Louis, Nauvoo, Carthage, and spent too long in Kansas :)
• met "bug boys" in both Charlotte and Kansas at church. Went on dates which included bowling until 2 a.m. and a 24-hour pastry shop in NC and a motorcycle ride in Olathe, Kansas.
• started working at Kohl's again, full-time, in the shoe department
• worked as the "shoe supervisor"
• moved in new place with mom/remodeling/unpacking/organizing (still going on)
• started attending a single's ward
• car died
• purchased an adorable pink scooter
• studied, took motorcycle endorsement test, got Lucy inspected, practiced driving in church parking lot and down the street
• picked up license plate, got hit by car, Lucy totaled :(
• first date with NC "bug boy", who consequently became my bf
• many dates with Adam
• spent a week in Spanish Fork with my wonderful family :) Plenty of game nights (me losing usually), swimming in the afternoon, and quesadillas.
• went to fireworks multiple times with my mom and Saturday afternoon lunch dates with mom at Subway
• decided against a long-distance relationship
• mission farewells galore!
• swam in the pool at mom's new place
• visited Cedar for a quick mid-week getaway
• attended a fabulous tea party

Six more days...where did summer go? Well, that's my summer in a nutshell though I'm sure a left out a lot!

I will update soon with tea party pics. They're fabulous folks :)
