Best. Pun. Ever.
This summer was pretty cool. And even though it's not over yet, it sure feels like it. Stores are already having back-to-school sales! Let's be honest, I LOVE back-to-school shopping. But this year, I find I'm dreading it. Summer in Kelowna is so incredible and vacation-y that you never want it to end...
Ok. Sorry. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you guys a little bit about how wonderful this summer has been.
June went by so fast, I couldn't even believe it. So much happened. Early June we finished school for the year, then shortly after that I got a part-time job at Marketplace IGA, turned 14, and basically just got used to life in Kelowna. It's really not all that different from life back in Sooke, just about 20 degrees warmer. :D
July was gone just like that. I was working lots, and going to the lake even more. :D We had quite a few visitors in July too, people from Sooke and Vancouver/Langley/Lower Mainland area, and it was so nice to see them all! Other than that, July was relaxing and quiet, with little projects going on around the house and yard. I think that once August rolled around, I had finally mentally replaced the word "Kelowna" with the word "home". ;)
Even though August is only half over, it has been super eventful. We've had family visiting from all over, and next weekend we are going to my cousin's wedding in Vancouver! I'll try to take pictures... my camera isn't really operational right now. :S I don't know if I previously mentioned that I bought a video camera? If I can figure out how to upload vids in a way that you guys can see them, then I'll do that. :D
Honestly, I think that I finally feel completely at home here. I mean, I've finally started considering Kelowna to be my home, instead of referring to Sooke as "back home". Through my work, I've made some "acquaintances-soon-to-be-friends" and I'm looking forward to getting "out" a bit more to meet even more people. I really feel like this is exactly where we need to be right now, and I am so, so thankful that God brought us here.
So there was my little summer de-briefing. I know back in July I said I would try to blog more regularly, but it just hasn't worked out that way. :( Once school starts again I'll blog regularly for the purpose of keeping up the quality of my writing, and to keep y'all updated. :D Hopefully things will keep happening so I won't end up writing pointless posts about pigs and lemons... yeah we all remember that one. Anyway, I hope y'all have a fantastic rest of the summer!
