Growth! I now have a fully functioning pony tail.. it's mini-oh but it's there.

-I have officially been accepted to YWAM!

-I have avoided serious injury twice in the past two weeks. (I give all the credit to Jesus.)

-After bagging some things for a customer today at market I asked  if he would like any thing else.. His answer was "Well.. I've been getting things slowly." ??? Yes? No? okaybye.

-I'm half way through the book of Job and it's intense. 20 chapters in a row of him arguing with his friends! 

-When my allergies kick in I rub my eyes till they burn.. probably not a good idea.

-If I tried reeeeeeally hard I think I could be a morning person.. maybe.

-I hate the fact that I read more than one book at a time and rarely finish them. Why not just read one and finish it?! Wow.. yea, Linds c'mon. 

-I have some pretty awesome friends. Going from spending every waking minute with them to not seeing their faces for 3 months will be dang hard.

Lance comes home in a few hours. My best friend Sarah leaves for Mexico in a few hours. Tonight will be a good night.

-I'm in love with the newest Hillsong CD. They are so anointed. 

-I've got a pretty steady weekly routine going.. but my room is always a mess and I never fully unpacked.

-I forgot how much garage sales make me excited. 

-I started running. Nothing major, maybe twice a week.

-Friends are a pretty vital part of my summer. I've made some new ones: Ben, Cub, John and Bekah. They're made of green tea and campfires. 

-The need for change is growing stronger in me. I don't like knowing what to expect. Not with everything. So far this summer has kind of caught me off guard which I enjoy. I know the next two years will be like that also. Bring it on!

-I can't fall asleep before midnight easily.

-My favorite color is still yellow.

One thing I love about summer is squeezing as much time as possible out of life. Here I sit at 3:30 am.. for the second night in a row. My day was completely full (minus the rare three hour nap I had this afternoon ;) .. and tomorrow will be busy again- yet I just had to drink that cup of coffee from wawa at .. oh ya know - 11:30pm!!! chuckle chuckle.. have I mentioned how I love summer?

Do you have a best friend? Well, I have two. And they both have the same name.. Sarah. You could also call them red and brown according to their hair colors. I love our dynamic. First of all we've got Sarah Maher (aka brown): Loud, passionate, beautiful, all-or-nothing, hilarious, life of the party. Then we've got Sarah Kuert (aka red): Steady, smart, captivating, caring, fun-loving, dreamer. Then there's me.. you can come up with six words to describe me on your own time. Anyway.. The thing about Sarah, Sarah and me is that ever since junior year of high school we have all, or at least two of us been together. Together meaning living in the same state. When brown moved to TX, red and I had one more year of high school. Then I moved to TX with brown and red started college at Eastern. Then brown moved back to PA with red and I was still in TX. So.. we've all kind of had our little seasons alone and seasons with each other. And this summer we have all reunited in one state. IT IS AWESOME. But come this fall.. we shall all be apart. I will be in North Carolina, red will be in Mexico and brown will be in China. How exciting that we're all moving on at the same time each in a different country! Our next meeting will be so gloriously full of adventures to tell and stories to be remembered and new memories to be made.. I will miss them tremendously; but it is good.

The weeks are going by so fast! I'm having a great summer so far. Working on the weekends.. late nights with friends.. sharing a room with my sister.. trying hard to be disciplined with my money. I just keep thinking what would Dave Ramsey do? :) It's good to be around family. It's crazy how they're all so supportive; I feel really blessed.

Adventures I've been on lately:

-Cliff jumpin at the Quarry in Maryland!

-Camping!

-Sail boating!

-Browsing through the vintage shopes on Queen Street! (wanting it ALL.)

I miss these guys. I'm sad being away from them.. 

My newest treasure is a world globe given to my by Jubilee :) I LOVE looking at where I will be come January 2010.. and picturing where I'll go after that. 

It is now shower time! And then I will try my best to plan/structure another busy week to come. I love summer.

 Some pictures for your enjoyment! Lance and me towards the beginning of our road trip.

Three generations: Grandma Lantz, Mom and me.

I finally met my newest cousin Paisley! 

I also met my grandparents goat Henry. My dad loves showing him off!

I went sailing with my best friends in the world. Sarah and Sarah

Here we are with our SNARK! .. we're pro's now.

I'm doing well-glad to be home. God is so good. He's provided a great job for me this summer working at market for Doug and Mandi. He got my car all the way to PA from TX in one piece! He's given me family and friends that love me.. He's just so good. Thank you Lord for another day.
