Sorry about that...

I wanted to brighten everyone's day. This is what happens when I get bored at work :)

I know I have been a stranger to the blogger world for a few months but no worries IM BACK! Sorry I have been away but I have been super busy with work and having a good summer. I decided back a before summer started that I was going to have a fantastic summer since this is my last college summer and could possibly be my last summer to do what I want.  So far I have been having a blast and cant wait to see what else is in store. 

As far as the festivities go, I enjoyed a nice vacation at Isle of Palms (my FAV place ever) with my family. There are things in your life that you are so thankful God blessed you with and that would be my family. None of them read this blog but I wanted to tell everyone how special these 5 girls are to me and how much I love them. I absolutely adore my five step-sisters,  their precious beautiful children and I guess they married some great men. (hahaha) It's not only the sisters I adore, I am so glad they have goofy, great husbands that accepted Dusty like they have known him for years, Such a great feeling to know they truly love and get along so well with their future brother in law.  It's a great feeling to sit back, talk with my sisters, and watch the "guys" get along so well. As far as the beach trip, we had a BLAST...who wouldn't have a blast in a 6 bedroom house with 13 adults, 7 kids, and 3 dogs- Even though it sounds packed it was so much FUN and we can't wait to do it again. During the week, we the GIRLS tanned, the guys went deep sea fishing (well their stories is they HATED it because they guy that took them had no clue what he was doing, long story bahahahahaha), the girls got feathers, went to the aquarium, spent a day downtown, ate way too much, drank way too much, and played cornhole from sun up to sundown and then got fussed at by the neighbors. What a week we had, definitely one to put down in the books. It was so much fun that the day we were leaving I looked over to find my Chloe crying. I asked her why she was crying and she said, "I just don't to go home, I want to stay at the beach forever because I love my family." HOW FREAKING SWEET, I started to tear up. We had such a blast that we are already planning another trip next summer.

Pictures to sum up the week...more to come but this is all I could grab off Facebook this morning. Hope you enjoy as much as we did looking back through the pictures :)

Besides the beach trip, I have been busy working EXPO, freshmen orientation. This was my second year working EXPO and I had a BLAST. I have grown very fond of my fellow workers and formed great friendships. Most of the time I just wanted to crawl back into bed but we still had fun. Most of the days consisted of taking freshmen to info sessions and entertaining them with ice breakers. The ice breakers were so much fun and they only got more fun when groups combined together. I would have to say the "winds are blowing" or question game was the biggest hit among the ice breakers. In these games you can learn a lot about someone but most of the time everybody was too busy laughing. As sad it is to say, this was my last summer working EXPO.
