The Summer has been a whirlwind. First was my graduation, which was so exciting for my family and I since I'm the first graduate of our homeschool! I might also add that I was valedictorian. (Even if I was the only person in my class, I think it should still count.) My grandparents, aunt and uncle, and a sweet friend who I haven't seen for a very long time came to stay with us for it and we had such a fabulous time together!
Three days after everyone went home, I left for Guatemala. A group from my church went to Agua Viva, a children's home there, and we stayed for a week, working and playing with the niños. I was nervous about going because it was my first time flying and my first time out of the country, but I am so glad I went - it was a fabulous trip! I'll be writing more about it later.
Right now I am home for the week. I have been catching up on a lot of things that I missed while I was away, and also getting ready for my next trip. On Friday my aunt and uncle are driving down and then on Sunday the three of us are heading to the Florida Keys. I am looking forward to it immensely because I've never been to Florida before and I will get to spend lots and lots of special time with my aunt and uncle. I know we will have an amazing time together and I cannot wait!
After Florida it's pretty chill. I have piano but that's about it. Most likely I'll be getting ready for college in August (I think I have some summer reading, too...) and working. This summer has been so wonderful so far, and I have a feeling there is more to come. I have a lot to share about the trip to Guatemala and I've already started writing some, so check back soon for it.
