soulfest 2013

Tomorrow is Sunday and the day after Sunday means Monday which means the day I leave to go on my adventure. The adventure that freaks me out. I’m going to Soulfest and I loved going back in 2009, I was supposed to go with a friend but she got pink eye. But my old staff boss and her family went and I had the best time with them, they welcomed me and it was a lot better than just sitting by myself. This year I feel like a repeat happened, but my friends luckily didn’t get pink eye, one instead moved thousands of miles away and even though I’m happy she was able to do something like this, I’m happy she didn’t go back to another country instead. The other got a job and it is a job like a real one as she graduated and needed a job, I’m really happy and proud of her and I don’t want her to think that I’m not. I actually haven’t talked to her for a while, I probably should write to her. 

It’s just my mom told me this is the last big going away thing before graduation and going out in the real world. After graduation, I have to get a job, there’s no way I can’t. So big city in southern _ _ _ _ _ look out, I’m coming as soon as I can. Why you ask there? I’ve got more friends there than I do where I’m currently at. 

Anyway this year at soulfest, I’ve got other friends going, but I’m going down with complete strangers. It kind of freaks me out. I don’t know these people and I’m hanging out with them for an extra two days because we are leaving Monday, I don’t know why, and I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to ask and I don’t know if I really want to know. 

Oh soulfest this year please be awesome. 

Smile on my face

At the beginning of this summer all I wanted for the summer was it to be just like last years. 

Well, it wasn’t like that at all. I did start off the summer the same way as last years, by going to Natalie’s graduation. I saw Liz at the beginning, along with Ariel. Then following weekend I saw Nevora. So it did start off really well. 

Then I had the summer class of sign language. Then I was stuck in the city of where I go to school and I really didn’t care for that, all I wanted was to be home where all my friends were and after summer class, I made it. 

I was super happy and I was able to hang out with friends and go to church. Church was what I was excited for. 

Now I really don’t remember how this summer is going except last week I had vacation with family and this past Sunday I started something I really felt God put in my mind.

A get together with a few girls from youth group, now that I’m known as a youth leader, I figured these girls would like to have a young adult hanging out with them, I may be 4-8 years older than these girls but it really doesn’t matter to me or them. We’re just hanging out, tomorrow movies, Friday just dance. Sunday’s I think before youth group we will have an actual hang out, I’ll ask them how everything is going and ask them what they want from this. I already have a lot of ideas of what to do and with the help from one of the youth leaders, we may go on an overnight trip, just to my apartment, but it still will be a lot of fun. Why not? 

2013, you may not be the summer I first wanted. You may not include all the friends I really do want to hang out with. But you are definitely a summer that is putting a smile on my face.
