Good Times and Sunshine!

The past couple weeks have been a lot of fun! I'll admit I haven't looked in to jobs and interviews nearly as much as I should have, but oh well... that will come very soon. Last week I got the chance to spend the week at my grandparent's condo in North Myrtle Beach. It was just me and my grandma. Normally I would say that I wouldn't have too much fun without someone my age with me, but I did. I got to spend a lot of time on the beach by myself, as my grandma didn't want to go out a lot. That was the perfect chance to read some and start a little bit of a tan for my brother's wedding that is coming up this weekend. Watching the ocean and listening to the waves never fails to remind me how awesome God is to have created something so beautiful. We also got to go shopping some (if you know me, you know that I LOVE that) and we went for a little while to the American Idol party at Hard Rock Cafe. We both had a lot of fun.

Other than the beach trip, I've been pretty busy doing stuff for my brother's wedding. I've been to a couple of showers, a bridesmaid's luncheon, gotten my dress altered, and things like that. I am excited about the wedding, I know it is going to be beautiful!

I have also gotten to spend some time with David over the past week. Up until now he's been at Furman and I've been at Clemson. Even though they are only about an hour and a half apart, it's still tough sometimes not being able to see him that often. We talk a lot either way, but that doesn't compare to being with him. I'm so happy that we're both home now and able to spend some more time together --yay!! I went to Susannah's graduation with him last Friday, which was very cool. With less that 30 graduates at Shannon Forest, it was a much more intimate setting than my graduation, which had a class of about 500. The part that I liked the most was when the key note speaker, Mr. Sell, spoke to each graduate individually and told them what qualities he saw in them that would allow them to be successful in the future. That was so cool, it made me wish I had been to a smaller high school.
Other than the graudation, we've played some outside (basketball, frisbee, stuff like that), and watched some movies. Our latest adventure was trying to walk Skyler, my dog (Trying is the operative word in that sentence). Let's just say he has a mind of his own. I had already taken Skyler to walk at the park, and I decided to take him to walk with David around his neighborhood. He did ok (other than pulling on the leash and switching sides too much) for a little while. Apparently about half way through, he decided that he was too tired to walk any more, point blank. He sat down in the grass of someone's yard, I don't know whose, and refused to budge. David and I both tried to get him to go, but it wouldn't work. So eventually I had to just go and get my car and drive it to him. Skyler got into the car with out too much trouble. That dog is funny sometimes, and most of the time I regret not getting him trained when he was younger. Oh well- There will be more to come soon :) peace out -- AK
