I L.O.V.E You

I know that I said I would write once a week this summer, but looks like I just can't get around to doing it. I don't want to say that summer is too busy to sit down and write a blog, but in a way it feels like it is. But busy with pleasurable enjoyable activities rather than the usual stress building crap which usually takes up my time. This summer has been so much fun so far, and even though I get to go to Alaska in 2 days I am sad a little bit because tomorrow night is my last night living with Meagan. Her and I have had so much fun together this summer and I'm sad that it is coming to an end. At the beginning of summer we made a list of fun activities we would like to do, and we have done almost all of them now. If it weren't for her I would come home from work everyday and probably just sit in front of the tv the rest of the night, but since Meagan isn't a fan of tv her and I do more fun summer activities. I didn't get to read the bible with her as much as I would have liked this summer. And I know it's partly my fault but through my prayer time I feel like God is showing me that this summer living with her hasn't been a complete waste either. God will do what He wants in her life, and I'm just glad I get to be there for her! It's not like we are saying goodbye forever, we just won't be living together anymore.

But on another note, I am going to Alaska in 2 days and I am very, VERY excited! I'm looking forward to this vacation not just for getting a week off of work but because I'm going to a place I have never been before, and I think it's going to be so much fun. I am super stoked to see Moose!

Emily is back from Laos, and from the little I have talked to her, her mission trip was beyond great, which my roommates and I are thrilled to hear. I am so glad she is back though, and I can't wait until she comes home because she was very much missed this summer!

Anyway, I don't really have a whole lot to say. It's nice to just lay in bed and write and feel comfortable writing without the heat getting to me. Maybe that's why I haven't written that much this summer, because it's too hot to sit down and write. But not tonight. Tonight is cool and breezy and it's going to be a good sleeping night! The little girls I babysit both told me that they loved me today. At first I thought it was weird when they said this because I am not a parent or anything to them, and then I just thought it was cute because they are just little girls. But I can see it on their face that they really mean it, and when I say it back to them I really mean it too. It's weird and I can't really explain it but I love those 2 little girls almost more than anything else in my life right now. I can't even imagine the love between a mom and her kids, being even more strong than the love between me and the girls. I love to just look at their little faces when they snuggle up next to me, I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to one of them. I do love them a lot. And I am so thankful that God put them in my life, even if it is just for a summer-which I'm hoping it will be longer! It's frustrating for me sometimes when I don't have a boyfriend, and I'm not in a relationship with a guy, but it is nice to know that you are loved by other people. And I think God is showing me to be content in who I am right now, and showing me that I am being loved all around me, mostly by Anneliese and Claire =)
