Rain Is A Good Thing

The past few months I've had such trouble remembering to update my blog, in case you couldn't tell by the lack of posts. I've been working a ton (or so it seems) but I absolutely love my job at the Greenhouse! I never thought I would waitress, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. I've luckily been able to spend a lot of time with my family this summer, which is awesome since it scares me how quickly my life has been moving. Before I know it, I'll be out on my own! I really do miss them a ton at school and I'm so blessed to be able to get to hang out with them as much as I do. Recently, I've started going to the beach a lot, finally. It's not as if I live 7 minutes away or anything. I've realized I can sit home and hang around at the beach before work just as easily as I can do it at home. And I'll get a tan on the beach. Plus, it is really relaxing (aside from the occasional beach tagger run in). I have been missing school a ton though.

Last week, my best friend finally came down the shore! Justine was in Wildwood for her sister's dance competition. I FINALLY got to meet all of the amazing Ringers, after months of waiting and talking and what not. I am so so happy I got to spend so much time down there last week. Justine is from Long Island and we aren't the typical "friends since preschool" best friends. Justine and I met through a facebook group of girls who dated midshipman of the United States Naval Academy. We started talking last summer and eventually planned a trip, along with another girlfriend, Mersadi, to the Navy-Delaware football game for Labor Day Weekend last year. We've been inseparable ever since (well, maybe in distance, but we're in constant contact). While neither of us are with our former boyfriends anymore, we've decided the whole reason we dated mids was so we got to meet each other (along with a few other super amazing girlfriends and wives:). I honestly don't know what I would do without her. I'd probably have had a few melt downs and gone off the deep end by now. Our friendship is living proof that everything happens for a reason!

This week, my cousins from Philly are coming down so it will be another action packed week. I'm also in the midst of cleaning out and then redecorating my room, hopefully before I go back to school. I decided my room currently looks like a rainbow puked all over it. So not classy enough for a 19 year old "sophisticated college student"( I did re do it in maybe fourth grade, so that could explain it. I have a purple, green, blue, and orange wall, along with a pink boa over one window...). I'm thinking nautical themed, which is really my current style now; stripes, anchors, navy and cream coloring. I'm getting excited just thinking about it! The rest of the summer is going to definitely be a little crazy! There are so many people I want to visit and things I want to do, I'm not sure how I'll find the time! As for now, I'll just try to live in the moment and be happy my summer has been so amazing thus far!
