So, the last month has gone by in a blur. I am SO thankful for such wonderful family and coworkers.
I got hired to work at the public library ANNND to work for this local day camp-type-thing. Which means I end up working from 8:30-5 with a half hour lunch break, which tires me out... A LOT. It makes it realy hard for me to get to hang out with people during the week and to get my runs in. But I really love my jobs, and I sure do love the money!
I GET MY BRACES OFF FRIDAY!!! Holy crap FINALLY, after three freaking years!  Can I just say finally, again?
I reaallyyyy really can't wait to get them off so when I smile my bottom lip won't do this weird thing where it pushes out and looks huge anymore! Yayy.
Anyways, the past couple weekends I've been getting to hang out with my older siblngs and the interns teaching the day camp, and last weekend we went out for a super fun hike to a waterfall! And then this week we drove out to a beautiful lake and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores and tanned, and then on the way back I  went bridge jumping for the first time! It was a little freaky because I have nightmares about falling, but it was SO MUCH fun. Anyways, I gotta go.

Whale whale whale...
I don't know why I just said that...
Well, I SHOULD be going to sleep right now, but of course I get inspired to write on here.
So some exciting stuff happening! And some.. Not so exciting stuff.
Let start with the good! I get my braces off in four weeks! Finally free of these shackles!
I'm also stoked to start my job at the public library tomorrow, awesome sauce!
My mom's been going through some stuff recently, 'cause her lung were all filled with fluids from when she was sick, which made it hard for her to breathe which brought her blood pressure up, and there's a cyst or something somewhere (I don't remember where) but they're pretty certain it's not cancer or anything to worry about... I'm definitely praying, she'll know tomorrow morning.
But on a brighter note, today was a pretty good day! And productive!
My morning was pretty lazy, but I went to school, got back and started cleaning (my mom had left a list or chores) so I unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, washed all the cups that had gross leftover residue (which was a LOT of cups), swept and washed the floors, swept the porches, and wiped down the staircase walls. After I was done cleaning my friend Helga came over and hung out for a bit, and then we went running... I ran with Helga, Sweater, and Texas., and then after we went running we decided to go to my house for some oreo pie that I made... And then my other friend FunSize. who I have known for FOREVER texted me and told me she was in town for a bit so she came too, and it was super random but fun.(: But then after everyone left but the FunSize, and we hung out and talked serious and talked silly and had fun(: Gosh I love that girl's guts. But yeah, yay friends and running. <3
