summer you get back here and let me love you. summer. SUMMMER.

Well, it's officially one week left until school starts.



My summer has been as fantastic as any summer filled with new-driver-experiencing, Indianapolis-roaming, coast-to-coast-flying, Marvel-superhero-movie-watching, Silver-Creek-Falls-ing, and girls-camp-tenting adventures can be.

And although 9 hours isn't very long, I can already tell that I love being wisdom-toothless

(got em out this morning)

However this card from my bff made me feel a little less like dying

Love her. 

P.S. check out her new bloggity blog blog "Catch Ya on the Flipside" here.

One summer adventure that I haven't posted about yet is the aforementioned girls-camp-tenting adventure, when I got to be a youth leader for the first time with three other amazin' YCLs and nine flippin' amazin' second years. They seriously were hilarious, our group da sunflowers even made up our own Sunflower Girl's Camp Dictionary. We took turns making up words and definitions for the video camera. I have never laughed so hard, some of them are pretty good.

I have seriously never felt so much love for a group of kids I've never met than what I felt for these incredible 13-year-old girls. I knew them for what, five days, and I already felt like we were a family. Their testimonies are so strong, they just glow :)

I had a blast taking my baby* to camp and recording all our adventures. The girls even took it without me knowing and filmed themselves doing a bunch of raps and messing around and stuff. That night after I got home from camp and looked through all the footage was just the best.

Here's the video :)))



Overall fellas, can I just say I've had a sweet summer being 16? 

And that I am looking forward to Junior year and am equal parts excited/meh-no-biggie/scared (okay maybe a little more of excited/meh-no-biggie). And that I am also 100% freaking out that my little brother is going to be a freshman, seriously what is this? Love you, man.

Alright, goodbye for now! Hopefully I will be guest-posting at Brooke's new blog Catch Ya on the Flipside sometime in the foreseeable future.

Goodbye for now!! :)
be excellent to each other and party on dudes
