3 more weeks of school!!!!! Okay now I can add exclamation marks, and here's why. Things are starting to solidify. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before on the blog, but last summer I spent a month living with my grandpa and acting as caretaker for both him and the property. My aunt and uncle began a pretty extensive vegetable garden on the property and while they were away for the month I picked and cooked vegetables like nobody's business. Well they've taken that garden and expanded it tenfold. They began a community garden on another piece of the property, and from what they say, it's the size of three football fields. I am beyond excited to finally go back! That month was one of the best in my life. I got to cook, garden, deepen my relationship with my grandpa, and spend some much needed time with myself. Internet is mostly nonexistent, cell service is spotty, and it's too hot to sit and watch TV. It can be lonely at times, but I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. And now I get to go back, and while the work is going to be ten times harder than last summer, I'm looking forward to it so much. Living in the city makes me crave the outdoors and the heat and extensive physical activity and pretty soon I'll have more than I'll know what to do with! I'm giddy!
On top of that, I'll be going from Sonora to Hawaii for my sister's wedding. I've hardly ever been out of California so this is going to be such an adventure. I'll have plenty of wedding preparations to work on while I'm at my grandpa's so there shouldn't be a dull moment. After the wedding I'll have just a few weeks of August until school starts once again. Things are starting to take shape right before my eyes and let me tell you, I am loving the way it looks.
