spent the weekend in Brookings. It was great to see my favorite kids, Baby Mercy is getting so big and such a happy smiley baby. and the other kids were thrilled to see me. Gave Mercy and Purity their new hair bows too. Did the nursery thing Sunday at church, got to see Miss Quinn, I think I'm her favorite, she never wants me to put her down!

Took the girls lunch at the Dairy Bar on monday and hung out with everyone for a bit, was good to see them too.

I'm definitely ready to be back in Btown permanently, I miss too much being in MN!

Working 3 nights this week and last minute County Arts-In stuff. Hopefully having Bets and the boys over for grilling and swim time friday. Friday night, Aunt J and JR's Engagement party and artsin overnight sat-sun. Then sleepover at Bets newww place!. Such a busy week, will post some pictures of the festivities soon. :)

forgot to add, I went camping for the 2nd time ever! We were supposed to go Sat-Mon but Mother nature decided to throw a unholy fit saturday night, we're talking baseball to grapefruit sized hail, tornados, downpours and straightline winds. Good thing we weren't sleeping in a popup camper that night! We went sunday afternoon and have a blast. Mir, Calvin and I laid on the beach/drank/made 4 trips to the gas station all day. then had random visitors all night to come hang out by our expertly made fire. Stayed up all night just goofing around. We also decided sundays are the best night for camping, cause everyone else leaves and we're there alone! Deff gonna try to go a few more times before the summer is over!

sweet summertime

Whew, it's been a while since I've posted. been crazy busy enjoying my summer and catching up with everyone.

I'm working two nights a week and picking up babysitting gigs here and there, which is really nice for a little extra cash! Spending lots of time with Betsy which is awesome for sure but is gonna suck when I go back to Brookings because I'm gonna miss her!

Got to Chaperone 4H camp last week, that was a great expereience, even if it made me feel a little old (chaperone, yikes right?) It wasn't my county but I had a blast at a new camp and meeting all their counselors and seeing ones that I did winter camp with when I was in high school.

Went out last night with Nikki and Autumn and oh boy, do we know how to have a good time. 2.99 long islands? Yes please. Met a cute boy too who asked for my number, so we'll see how that goes :]

Work tonight and heading back to Brookings for the weekend to pay rent and air out my room and visit my very favorite kids ever, missing them WAY too much!

It's Official! I've moved home, actually on thursday and already have one friday night of work under my belt!

The weekend of the fourth was great. We had horses running both saturday and sunday, did HUGE fireworks at Canterbury saturday night, had two BBQ's and ran around with the Hardy kids (which sounds like we should have been in a book, just our trainers 4 year old Jordan and almost 2 year old Austin) and generally merriment.

Spent today and will be spending tomorrow and wednesday Morning with Betsy, my best friend. We aren't up to anything too excited, just hanging out and having adventures. Lots of fun.

Back to work on Wednesday and it's off from there.
