7 States later and living as an alien

Another Summer Gone

I apologize now for this being the longest post ever. I feel like I need to go through everything I have done in the last two weeks for me to actually believe that it all a happened.
I had an amazing summer. Hanging out with friends again - my cousin Matt, the church people, my friends Tyler, Pinto, Chris, Dave, and Kristen. We had many great times. I cannot believe that summer is over.

A JOB???

I got a call a two weeks ago last Friday from New Mexico saying you have a job! So I spent that week packing and by Friday the 11th I was on my way.
The week was crazy with last good byes, a HUGE barbecue in honor of my departure from Winnipeg, as well as a last blast at the beach Sunday afternoon. My only wish was to hit Grand Beach one last time - which Sara, Margaret, Matt and Tamara granted.

Sara was voted to be burred, she had no choice - ps. I dug the hole - the others just decided to join in with the fun part and bury her. Fun was had by all - Frisbee, playing in the sand, reminiscing of years gone by, swimming past the buoys, and of course dune jumping.







That is Kristen and I last Christmas in California. Before I left for New Mexico she gave me the sweetest little scrapbook of pictures of us from high school and stuff. It is so cute.

So the last hurrah before I left was bitter sweet. I had a truly amazing summer that was made by reconnecting with old friends - only to leave again. Ah.
