take me home, country roads...

...my Mimi said that song would make her cry for homesickness.
It's high time that I come home "fer a spell"
Although my hometown is far from "country"...

I feel like I haven't been home but a week this summer. That one week was an outreach, so I wasn't really home at my house.

It has been a grand summer, for the most part.

the cliffs notes version of my summer:

• The SAT (what a way to kick it off!)
• Housesitting and dogsitting. That helped alleviate the stress of the SAT. 
• Serving in MTYC's kitchen
• counseling at MTYC for the middle girls 
• the SPORT camp outreach! 
• Cooking at HCBC
• counseling at MTYC for the little girls
• a week with my grandparents (on my mom's side) 
• a week in Hilton Head! 
• Back to my mom's parent's house
• My Grandaddy Henline's funeral
• A week with my grandparents on the other side

and now...
a few days here at home and I'm off again!

Well, this summer has been exceptional. I have learned much. Many lessons that I will be able to glean wisdom from in the upcoming years.

On another note: I'm glad that I know the Meaning of Life. Otherwise, I would be SO despairingly depressed. I would be in the absolute pits. Not knowing is a terrible feeling...
