summer update

Today was my first day of Driver's Ed. I have it Mon-Thurs this week and next from 8am-12pm each day. I wasn't thrilled when I found out that I would be taking it over my summer break, but I am so glad I am getting it over with. Like Pastor Steven and Holly said one Sunday...."Sacrifice is about giving up something good for something better."

I'm giving up 8 mornings of my summer....I could be doing something a lot more fun. But I am eventually going to get my license thanks to this class. I will eventually be able to go wherever I want and whenever I want, by myself. I won't need someone to take me somewhere. I won't have to depend on somebody to get me place to place. 8 mornings of my summer being taken away compared to eventually getting my learner's permit and driver's license....I think it is worth it. I would definitely say the payoff is better. More freedom and independence are on the way. Sometimes looking forward to the outcome makes things more positive.

This Friday, my Mom and I are headed to Virginia to see one of our closest friends, Sharon. We are looking forward to a fun trip together. I love these summer trips....and they are even better when it comes to seeing the people we love.

My aunt and I have been planning my trip to come and visit her for a week. Even though it is still one month away, we have each day planned out precisely. I am sooooooo excited. My excitement level just keeps going up, if that is even possible. I seriously cannot wait.

I hope to have more blogs to come. This week is hectic, I will try to squeeze in some blogging time. Happy Monday all.....
