This summer has been so busy!!
It is amazing to me how busy I've been considering I'm a) not travelling much and b) single in the summer for the first time since my freshman year of high school.
This summer I dedicated myself to making new friends, doing new things, and developing hobbies to make myself more interesting.
I've kept busy. I've worked about 50 hours/week all summer at two different jobs. I love them. I was reassigned to a new supervisor at my AzCIM job and I have been enjoying the tasks much more. I also have started doing office work for my administrative assistant job at the law firm (the one where I used to just watch children). I love it. My day gets broken up with various errands, I get to network with professionals in Tucson, and I get to take a shiny elevator up a fancy building for work. The doors are all like 10 feet tall... Soooo I mean, pretty fancy.
I also have started volunteering (quite recently). I'm in line to be matched with a little sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters Tucson. I used to be a BIG in high school, but never picked it up again after moving here. I look forward to it, I had to agree to commit for a whole year. I also am now volunteering at the Community Food Bank once a week. It is so awesome! I want to keep up with this one during the school year, but we'll see how I do with my schedule.
I've worked on my athletic prowess this summer also. I am getting much better at ultimate frisbee. I love it. There has been more than one occasion where I've played ultimate at the UA Mall past 3 in the morning. I play every week with a group from church, plus whenever else I can manage to get a group together.
I also went to yoga, and plan on continuing that. I loved it. I thought I would hate it. But I didn't. I'm going to make that a regular thing also.
And the other day I played basketball for the first time in years. It was great!
I went dancing the other night with a few of my friends. It was a blast! I loved it. We saw Darude (he did Sandstorm, the most overplayed dance song in the world). It was awesome. And his shirt said "Lettuce Turnip the Beet," which is hilarious.
I'm loving going out with the sister missionaries and attending almost every church activity. I can't wait for people to move into the ward at the beginning of the school year. I really enjoy meeting new people and making new friends.
I'm really happy. I see blessings in my life constantly.
I was in my roommate's wedding. That was incredible. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous. It rained the day of, so the temperature stayed down. Maddy and Kirk are a wonderful couple. I am so happy for them.
That's been a lot of what has been happening here. :) I can't remember the last time I felt so happy and confident about where I am in my life.
What do you call a hooker that you pay with linguini?
A pastatute (or a spaghetti-hoe). HAHAHA.
