I’m a teacher.  And because people are kind and interested, they ask me what I’m up to this summer, since I have no school.  It’s a valid question, and one that I must answer quite often. 

I’ve already been to Philly to visit family, and Guatemala for a missions trip.  I’ve hung out with three really fun and amazing interns too.  There are projects that I’m working on, both for school and for church…I’m not bored.  My last couple weeks have kept me pretty tired, although I’m not completely sure why.  Life, relationships and projects haven’t all gone on without a hitch, but nonetheless, I have been having a great summer. 

I did a 5K (there’s that word, "did", again)…you can read Katie’s version of that marathon here.  Esp
ecially if you know her, It’s the kind of funny that you might end up saying, "I almost peed my pants!"  Here’s the picture of four of us who were there that day.

The 4th of July was spent with some really great friends…including my roommate, who turned 28 that day. (Happy Birthday, once again, Jen!)

Oh, and I can’t forget my two great PA friends, Jamie and Leah.

This past weekend I had the honor of being with my friend as she got married.  This is Christina, Jen, Anne Marie and me on the big day.

Monday night I treated a group of friends to a free meal at Chipotle…I won a contest by putting my Altar
Worker business card in the little bowl at the register!  So we celebrated JT’s birthday too.  (I was without my camera…so my phone had to do)
