Adventure





In May we went camping with Tyler's sister, Tara, and her fiance, Lane. It was a lot of fun, an adventure from the start. We took some crazy roads in the mountains and found some water down below. It was awesome camping near a stream, such a beautiful and peaceful setting. We went on a hike, played games, ate, and slept. It was a great "kickoff" camping trip!

My soul sings

I blogged the lyrics of this song back in
2009. Here I am again, 1:30 in the
morning, listening to the song over and
over on YouTube. To be honest, I am not
the kind of person to associate songs and
events, etc. Some people have a song for
everything, every feeling, every event.
Not me. I have a few that I absolutely
love, but this one is different. I can
still remember singing it at church in 2009
and wanting to stand, smiling at God, for
hours. Something about it. I can't really
explain it, but you should check it out here.

I would love to hear what some of your songs
are that make you feel this way, I hope you
have one!

Summa time

Yes, it is summer! You wouldn't know it by looking outside or by watching me drive to and from class each day....regardless, it is summer.

In May, Tyler started a new job at a brand new Detox center in Boise. He is working nights, but we are getting used to it and adjusting nicely. In fact, although we have less time together, the time we do have is very nice. We make sure we are doing something fun together any chance we get.

We have a new member of the family...Norah. She is an 11 month old St. Bernard/Lab Mix. She is such a sweetheart. We totally lucked out, we adopted her from the shelter, so she could have been quite the handful. She is very sweet and has only misbehaved when company comes over, and it is nothing bad, she just loses her mind for a minute.

I started serving at Buffalo Wing Wings, and then found out that I got an internship with JR Simplot Company. WHOOHOO! So I will only serve on Saturdays and my internship is Monday - Friday until graduation in December. God is really teaching me that His plans sometimes differ from mine. I am okay with that, I am confident that his plans are better than mine.

I just finished 1 of 3 summer classes and my final 2 summer classes start on Monday. Then this fall I only have 4 classes until I graduate with a degree in Accounting and a degree in Finance.

We are going to Spokane two times this month. Once for my cousins wedding, and another time for Hoopfest. I am exciting for the wedding because this will be my first time back with all of the Blaine's...except for my wedding, but that doesn't really count.

Also, I am playing on a co-ed team at Hoopfest. Should be interesting, that's all I can say. I am pumped!

I hope anyone (if anyone is reading) reading this post is having a blessed summer!
