I miss the beach :(

Well, Big Break was amazing, as always! This picture is the view from our beach side condo! It was so gorgeous! Ok, where do I start? The 20 hour bus ride wasn't too bad because a big chunk of it was at night when we were sleeping, so it seemed to go pretty quickly. This year, we stayed at the Boardwalk Beach Resort, a brand-new resort, and it was so nice! I had 7 roommates, including Lia and Katie J, and then 5 underclassmen that I didn't know before last week. We all got along well and I enjoyed getting to know them! The weather all week was beautiful! It was at least 70 degrees and sunny everyday! This year, we had 72 people on Big Break! It had a really different feel than last year with such a big group, and the majority of them being underclassmen, but it was so much fun getting to know so many new people! I ended up making a group of good friends last week, and even better, they're all going to be here next year! I used to think that all my friends were leaving me after this year, but God has totally been faithful in providing me with good friendships with people that will be here! Katie J and I have grown a lot closer this year and it's been so great just sharing so many things with her! Katie, Lia and I hung out a lot with three guys, Mark, Ben, and John, over Big Break and we all just had a blast together! The evangelism throughout the week went well too! I was a little worried about it because I knew I was going to be paired with underclassmen who most likely hadn't shared their faith before. It was so awesome to see how much more confident I was in sharing my faith with having been to summer project last summer! The girls I went out with were really eager and pretty confident to talk to people, even though most of them hadn't done it before! One girl even led someone to Christ while I talked to another girl! It totally boosted my confidence with having spiritual conversations and I'm really glad to see how much summer project taught me! Anyway, I'm so glad I went to Big Break this year!! But I miss the beach so much! None of us wanted to leave! I really think I could live by the ocean forever. After a summer in San Diego and spending spring break on Panama City Beach, I really don't think I could get sick of the beach and the ocean. I decided I would probably miss snow right around Christmas time, but I would just go home and visit family then and enjoy the snow for a week or so! Maybe I can find a teaching job somewhere warm! :)

Well, school's underway and I have absolutely no motivation to do anything school related right now. I'm really excited though because my mom and stepdad brought up my new car today and I'm meeting with my new boss on Friday! Kyle, the guy who told me about the job, told me today how much he loves working there and that there'll be good summer hours because they're always looking for someone to help out. I can't wait to start working! I really need the money and I think it'll be a great job!!
