So I find that even though I don't think I am doing anything interesting this summer, people continually are asking what it is that I fill my days doing because they never see me.
I realize that to me, what I do during the days feels like nothing, but I also have a ridiculous perspective of what nothing is...so here is an update.

I started interning at RH this summer with Student Ministries and have been having the time of my life! I get to be a part of programming, planning, and executing all things Student Ministries specifically related to Middle School. It has been so fun because I get to work with some amazing people, I get to plan some cool events during the summer (Hume Lake, holler!), be more involved on Sunday mornings and I still get to hang out with my girls (they are in 8th grade now...crazy). It is like a dream job! Minus the not being paid part...but hey. It's worth it.
I still nanny for the three precious boys in Newport, but my last day with them is July 30th. We play all day, making videos, going on ice-cream runs, making crafts and playing outside...and I am going to miss them dearly : (
I also still am at the GAP (I am telling you--get your discounts now people, who knows how long I will be there?!?) and usually work few nights a week. It is such a chill job, and I have really grown to love the people that I work with...even though we only see each other at work.
I still am singing on the worship team at RH...it has been a incredible year, and I have gotten to be a part of some cool evenings where I have seen God move in really great ways. I think that this has been part of my year that has meant the most to me because in the midst of being in a position of leadership, God has humbled my heart and shown me the beauty of stepping back and watching others worship him in their own way. It's been really awesome.
Unfortunately, I will not be traveling overseas this summer : ( But I do have the SWEET opportunity to go to Mexico with a team from RockHarbor as part of the GO Campaign. We are doing a house build, similar to what I have done a number of times with my family...but this time I am going on my own, and it is going to be great! I am excited to be able to serve and get to know more people at church, because I find that I tend to stick to the same people, even though everytime I meet someone new I wish I would have known them longer.
Right before leaving for Mexico, I get to be a part of VBS at RH...SO stoked! We are doing it a different way this year, and I am looking forward to leading a house-site and seeing how God uses VBS around the communities of Orange County.
Lastly, I am leaving tomorrow for a fun-filled week at Claremont McKenna college for Girls State. This is an American Legion sponsored camp, where girls (1 from every high school around the state) come and learn about state government. It is a very big deal, and I was privleged to be able to go in high school...so it's fun to be able to go back and to be a counselor. It was kind of a hard decision because there is a lot that I need to be doing back home, but I think that the week is going to be great, and it is so fun to be in a position to give back to a camp and organization that did a lot for me in high school and beyond!
I think that is all...wow. Maybe I am busy. But there you go.
HAGS (Have a Great Summer. World's most overused, and cliche statement. Perfect for this entry...ha)
