The summerwind

Yep, I finally gave in to the world of blogging. And I know everyone says this on their first post, but there's something about being home from college with lots of planning for a sister's wedding that makes me want to sit at the computer and hash out all the feelings. Not much going on right now... I know; I should be off in a different country, exploring ruins and sites constructed by our 2,000-yr-old ancestors; but seeing as that is not possible at the moment, I will continue to sit here at my house, discussing with my mother the best consistency and pattern for the cardstock in my sister's wedding invitations.

I'm excited for the wedding... I can hardly believe that my one and only sibling is getting married in LESS THAN A MONTH!!! Woooooohoooo!! Congrats to Mel and Mike.

They're like the hottest couple ever. 

So this Wednesday was the 4th of July, and I realized that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday!!! My mom asked me why and I said, there's so many reasons for it. No expectation of gifts, hot dogs, the blistering Fresno heat, and just an all around great day filled with family, friends, food, and fun. We love our brown friends... this year, we decided to get a water bounce house and it was a blast. 

Days like this are what makes coming home so great. So, I'm excited to be here... even if it means that I have to look at 234932412394 patterns of cardstock and do a whole bunch of other boring stuff. But I can't wait for August 2nd, my sister's wedding, and our exciting trip to the motherland. This summer's gonna be pretty great.
