September Highlights

Wow, so September was packed. I felt like it was really the beginning of getting back to normal as I worked, and got to go to real events. But also it was the end of summer, of lots of free time, and held some kind of hard stuff. 

So at the beginning of the month, I was working four days a week. Not gonna lie, that had me pretty stressed. I felt like I was running back and forth to work every day, plus trying to fit in other events. I'm not super good at time management. =P Well, about three weeks into the month... I was let go from my main job. The people I had been babysitting for no longer needed me. So yeah, I'm going to be home a lot more. It's kind of a mixed blessing. I'm glad I no longer have all that stress, but I kind of did like having the paycheck. XD 

One day at work it started raining. In Texas summer this is a big thing, so me and all the kids ran outside. We got soaked and it was a blast. The only thing that wasn't was drinking home wet. ;) 

A lot of times after work this month I met up with family for shopping, or dinners, which was pretty fun. =) 

We had our last day at the water park which felt to me like the end of summer. 

We had smores for no other reason then that we had the stuff for them. 

I did my first scavenger hunt, which was epic!! Our zoo hosted it. We had to find information, take pictures, do videos, and it really was a blast. We got an otter snuggly for participated, which was great! 

My sister Rebekkah and I at the zoo.

My bible study I attended started up again, and we met in the park to just get to know each other. We played Scattergories and 20 questions. It was awesome to meet up with them, even from six feet apart. <3 

A teacher of mine from co-op passed away mid-month. He was an absolutely amazing guy, and I wrote a post about him here. His was the fourth funeral I've ever gone to.

I realized I hadn't cleaned my SD cards off since March. O.o So suddenly deciding it must be done right away, I stayed up till midnight one night cleaning them off and going through the photos. It was worth it. ;) 

I joined my young adult's group in helping a family from our church move. It was a lot of work, but super fun. I hadn't gotten the chance to haul boxes and just hang out with my young adults group in a long time. We worked really hard, ate a lot of pizza, and just had a blast. 

I got to virtually watch High School Musical two with my friend Micaiah. <3 It is surprising how relevant that movie is. 

Yeah, I read a whopping six books. But I enjoyed all of them! A Portrait of Loyalty was my favorite. <3
