WEIRD

Just a proud little moment:

I built a longboard. Yeah...BUILT. With my bare hands. Like a man (but less hairy).

My dad helped me. Alright, more like I helped my dad. But I think we both would agree

that together we each did about 50% of the work. He just read the plans and KNEW what to do.
It was a cool father/daughter project. He was very skeptical at first and I'm pretty sure
he thought it was a dumb idea, but he thinks it's pretty stellar now.
He's already planning on us building a few more.
(Which we are in the process of, so if your interested..let me know)

Here it is...

SO.....

In about 10 weeks I'll be at my college graduation. (YIKES)

In about 11 weeks I'll be in the British Virgin Islands (for the 2nd time in my life).

Sailing a boat like this.

(My friend Lacey and I about 4 years ago.)

Napping in a hammock like this.

AND taking pictures of views like this.
(although pictures in paradise do not do anything NEAR justice to the real thing)

In about 12 weeks (literally a few days after coming home from vacation) I will be packing my car full of all my crap (clothes, laptop, backpack, nalgene, longboard, Bible, iPod, toothbrush, stuffed dog named Ross, and other various necessities) to Independence, MO for my year-long internship.

It weird to think that this big new change in my life is only 2 months away. I'm not even close to thinking about graduating (even though I'm aware it's dangerously close) and leaving all of my friends and the life I've known for the last few years.

I'm not really sure what to expect. When I have this thought I tell myself, "Self, you can't have ANY expectatins." (I don't always refer to myself as 'Self', but saying it's one of those weird things we do at kamp so I can't resist.)
No expectaions is always hard for me, because that makes me see nothing but a huge question mark when I think post-graduation and family vaca.
Who likes looking at a big question mark when it's lurking around in your future? Eeeeeeek.

Hmmmmm........I guess before any of this I have to finish my homework.

Story of my life..
