My fellow americans,
I hope your 4th of July was as wonderful as mine was! Here's the rundown minus any pictures because my bf, steph, has them all on her camera from the weekend.
Hurricn Alex brought wacky wether all weekend for us but we had an amazing time anyway. I picked Steph up from DFW Airport and we headed for dinner at Joes Crabshack. Aside from the awful, cheesy singing we had a great time. Then we went to a little local bar for a beer and see some authentic Texas. It wasn't really that Texas-ee so we headed for the lake where Ryan and all of his friends were staying for the weekend.
We spent the entire weekend out on Lake Cypress, tubing, boating and eating lots of unhealthy southern food. We played sand volleyball,horse shoes, and watched fireworks on Saturday. It was so nice that Steph got to see why I love the people and lifestyle down here so much. Everyone just takes you in and befriends you like they've known you all there life. On Sunday we got experience some great southern cooking when or campsite made 150 lbs of crawfish for us to eat. I had never had it before and it was a really fun, spicy, experience. That night we just headed back to Tyler so we could finally shower and get some sleep in beds! That morning it was back to DFW to drop Steph off. Ms. Kelly, cant thank you enough for coming to visit me, best friend! Now you just have to move down here so we can do that every weekend and be roomies again!
What's that you asked? What other great news do I have this week? Oh, well let me fill you in!
For starters, as of July 12t I'll be starting my new year of service as a VISTA Leader! It means I'll be the tier inbetween the other VISTA's and Dianna, our supervisor. It also means $200 more in this girl's pocket a month. The only shitty part in that whole deal is my student loans just came out of forbearance and the extra $200 will be put toward that each month.
Next, you are currently reading the blog of the Almond Tree Community Resource and Training Center Employee of the Month! Ya, I just get this paper certificate thing and its really not that big deal but it's a first.
Finally, I'm moving to my new place today. Ryan is coming over to help me just make one trip in his truck. I'm hoping the rain holds off so all my stuff doesn't get wet. Hopefully this new place is a better fit than the old one. I still don't think its ideal but it doesn't have any real restrictions which is perfect for something that isn't ideal, right? I'll let you know when I get all settled in.
Have a great Wednesday!
