As Summer Closes...

Whoops- Two months without an update to the blogger. What can I say- Summer has been amazing so far. Both good and bad, I've been working about half the hours than I did last summer. I desperately need more money, but I'm 100% glad I have a social life this summer. I haven't really gone anywhere or done anything too out of the ordinary, but it's just been fabulous hanging out with friends, relaxing, and not having any pressure from school or work.

Let's see what else- in addition to my sister's engagement, my brother is also newly engaged to Shannon- FINALLY! I'm sooo excited for their wedding in Oct. 2007.

And I attended my first Dave Matthews Band concert this summer! Had no idea what to expect, but next year we'll know to bring lots of friends, tailgate ahead of time, and get insanely drunk for it. In July I also visited my babe Cassidy in Monroe for a few days- just hung out, had a cook out, sunbathed, got our hair done... Great to see one of my Edgewood friends for the first time all summer.

This past weekend I had a girls weekend up at my trailer which was also much enjoyed. Basically never stopped drinking the whole time we were up there, went swimming at the beach, played drinking games, watched movies, and ate ice cream. And once in back to Green Bay, I went with everyone to the drive-in for movies. I'd have loved to make it to Noah's Ark or Michigan for gambling, but we'll still be able to have a week-long party at my house when my parents go out of town the week before I leave for college, which will consist of lots of alcohol, fun sleepovers, a cook out, a bonfire, and hopefully even a poker night.

But in exactly 16 days I will move back to Madison... and out of my house permanently. I don't plan on living here in GB over winter break or even next summer since I'll have an apartment I'm already paying for in Madison and a full time job there. It's sad to think I'll never live in my house again... won't ever live with my parents again. Exciting, but sad. Let's just not think about it. But I'm pumped to go back to Madison soon. I'll have my Edgewood girls nearby again, my UW-Wisc girls there, and lots of good partying! Not to mention my own apartment with four fabulous girls. Of course I'm dreading having to think and concentrate again for school work, have two jobs, and be away from the rest of my GB friends. It's tough to think this is the last summer all of us will be together, since most of us will be staying in our respective college towns next summer. There will be lots of visiting and road trips to each other, but still... Not to mention my favorite new kid will now be 45 min away instead of 45 seconds away- literally. Ahh, well- what can ya do?

Anyways, I'm gonna try to update this thing again before heading back to Madison- I've got lots more to say, but more exciting things to do yet tonight- like fold my laundry and watch a movie ;)
