well hello again!

long time no see! i'm back in the good old homestead and i've got a lot going on lately. i know i obviously have a lot i haven't written about, so here it is, in good old fashioned elsa way, here's a list. 

ten things to keep you caught up with me

1. i loved the beach. thats really all there is to it. 

a much needed sun soak has refilled my happiness vitamin D fuel tank. 

2. i gained a few pounds. 

southern food is not the best for my figure, 

no matter how much i may love it. 

let the ceasing of soda drinking begin!

3. i spent 5 days enjoying snippets of my southern life in atlanta

and oh, do i miss it so. 

4. i am the best bridesmaid ever.

all the way to the deep south just for her bridal shower.

or maybe she's the best bride ever for conveniently planning. 

its probably the latter. and i love her for it. 

5. unpacking. it will be the death of me. 

6. i have an official obsession with journals...

it was discovered on a target trip in panama city beach.

7. i've been made the director of girls camp for church. 

its a bit overwhelming to think all girls ages 12-17 will be looking to me 

for fun, certification, and spiritual fulfillment, 

but i am so excited about it all, it helps me forget that.

8.  i read sisterhood of the traveling pants. now that i'm finally 'old enough' to read it, 

i spent the whole time loving the story and trying to get past the differences from movie to book. 

i thought watching the movie first might be better in those situations.

turns out, its about the same. 

9. i' registered for classes for the fall. is it weird that its happened so soon?
i feel like it was just a few weeks ago that we ended winter and now its time for fall.
here comes school slowly leaking into my summer and making me think about it. 

10. i am happy. oh so happy.  

i am also extremely tired. maybe i shouldn't have blogged, and waited for a more creative moment, but i needed to get something out. its been over a week.
