FINDING JOY in the little things

Vendor Market

My summer wont be all that boring, but after hearing about friends going to Africa and Mexico, it sounds dull. Something to keep me busy tho: My mom and I will be participating in a vendor market tho at Heart to Heart in Hamilton June 11 & 25, July 9& 23, August 13 &27, and September 10 & 24. If you have questions comment.

Hopefully this will be a good way to bring in some money for my trip to Italy. It will be fun, and a good way to bond with my mother. :) Maybe we can get my younger sister involved too in doing some crafts with us.

Home?

I am glad to be finally done with my sophmore year in college, but I am having a hard time adjusting. I've left school, which felt like home to me. I had my family of friends and of course my fiance was there too. But coming back to my real home feels weird. I miss my family from school. They are amazing friends. I miss being cramped into a suite-style room with 3 roomies. I miss the noise. Here it is quiet and relaxing. I feel almost as if it is wrong to relax. My brain is adjusted to always going going going. Being still is strange. Already today I cleaned the entire bathroom and organized everything in it because I couldnt stand taking a nap...

I do have alot to keep me busy, although I am away from college for the summer. There is work this summer( I need 4,000 for a required trip to Italy + a MacBookPro) , and planning the wedding (which I am determined to finish the bulk of before fall). My mom and I will be doing arts and crafts to sell twice a month this summer at a booth for supporting Heart to Heart, so hopefully that will be fun and productive at the same time. This being my last summer at home I would also like to spend quality time with my family. My fiance's family has filled up my summer calendar already (which will mean alot of driving and gas money) but I would like to spend time with them as well.

I think I should seriously start obeying the Sabbath. God knows I need to relax.

Are we really doing this?

My roomies and I are going to play a little joke. We are super glueing quarters to the road outside our window and going to watch people try to pick them up. I only get to do stupid things for a little while longer! It's exam week and we are really looking for some excitement, don't judge.
