Cape Cod!!!

On Monday, Anna and I leave for Cape Cod!!! We will be driving up with Uncle John and Aunt Nancy to meet up with the Silards and Kristen to spend six days at the beach...shore...whatever. Ahh! I can't wait. Yesterday, Anna and I went shopping to get last minute things and I finnaly used my Boarders gift card to purchase the O.C.R. soundtrack of Beauty and the Beast! We are going to wait to listen to it until we are in the car on the way to the Cape so that we have something to look forward to about the eleven hour car ride. It is very tempting not to open it up, and stick it in my cd player...but I think it will be all the better if I wait. =) Lizzy has a blog full of beautiful pictures of the water, and the sand and the dunes and stuff. http://sandyneckfotos.blogspot.com/.

While I am away, I hope to read through All Things For Good, by Thomas Watson. It's a wonderful book that Anna let me read while we were at the beach together in the beginning of the summer. Then she bought me my very own copy, which I have been saving to read for Cape Cod. I highly recommend it! (Though I have only read the first twenty pages or so.)

Summer has been amazing...I have like ten hours now, so that's good. My dad finnally let me put on the radio while driving!!! So that was exciting.

Enjoy your summer!

Summer is Here!!! =)

I realize it has been quite awhile since I've posted. Summer has been awesome. Way greater than I ever expected! God has blessed me soooo much! I actually just got home from the beach yesterday. I did a wonderful job of allowing the sun to burn me...hopefully the swelling will die down soon. (And yes, I did put on sun screen...it just didn't work I guess.) It was so great to spend time with my mom, sister and my mom's sisters and thier kids. I have like 27 cousins on my mom's side and every year we get this great beach house for two weeks. We don't all fit in it anymore. So for the first four days of the two weeks, it was just my Grandmother, my mom's two sisters and thier kids and us. One of my cousins is living in Ocean City this Summer but other than that I was the oldest cousin there. That was just strange, cause I'm like ninth in the line up. But we had a blast. It was good to be at the beach with everyone again. On the way home we listened to the Orginal Broadway Cast Recording of Les Mis. I forgot how good it was. I found myself in tears most of the time because of how beautiful the music is. (Is "is" a preposition? Cuase if it is then I just broke a grammer rule.)


I got my permit about a month ago, but I still have 57 hours to go...so it'll be awhile! But driving is fun. My dad is constantly telling me to use the gas pedel...cause I forget about it. (scary....I know.) And I cannot understand how to fill in the manuel thing that keeps track of your hours....so I have to like figure that one out still....

I've been zipping through my booklist. Right now I am reading Lost Moon. It's about Apollo 13 and written by one of my mom's friends who writes for Time Magazine. It's quite good.

Edit: I just realized I said, 57 hours to go...what I meant was 53...
