Slam Dunk!

It was my "Michael Jordan" birthday on Thursday. I turned the big "23"! It was a wonderful day thanks to my family and the Schellenberg family. It started with a trip down to Myrtle beach to visit the Schellenberg family. We played bananagrams, went out to eat, boogie boarded and played in the waves, had dance lessons on the beach, and a nice conversation in the car back to my house. To my surprise, my mom had planned a dinner party with neighbors and church friends. It was a lovely time with great food (sushi and brisket) and good conversations.

I don't feel old at all. I feel that life is just beginning. With a new job starting in a week, moving back to Michigan, I have so much adventure and unknown ahead of me. I'm excited! 5 more days until I am in the mitten...

It's Summertime

Wow!! I'm not so good at this blogging thing because the last post was in May and It's already almost the end of July. I need to start making this a habit.

Well, in the months that we missed, I was in a wedding; I accepted a job in Michigan; I said my goodbyes in Honduras; I moved back to North Carolina; I traveled to Georgia, Florida, and New Jersey; I went to the beach almost everyday; and started going to the YMCA again. Life is good. The best part of this summer has been spending time with my family. I hadn't seen them since August of 2010!

Here's a few snapshots of my summer:
