Summer 2012 is here and I have a lot of blessings to report! This is pretty much a mad collage of my summer so far in no particular order! I spend the first month of summer in New Zealand on a missions trip for the Church of the Nazarene. That was a time filled with love, God, and so much spiritual/ personal growth. Then I moved back to Point Loma for the summer to work in the office of University Advancement which has turned out to be a wonderful job! It has been a blast living on campus this summer, and getting a chance to do all of the fun things San Diego has to offer that I never have time for when I am in school. For instance the San Diego County Fair! It was a blast and I got to see a free Switchfoot concert which is always a good time in my book! I went with some friends that are also living in the area this summer and there are pictures to prove it :)
Abby and I at the San Diego fair trying to re create an Instagram that Emma Roberts posted!

The theme of the fair was Out of this World so I tried to play the part...
Entering the fair!!!
This is me after experiencing Crazy Mouse for the first time
I was so blessed in New Zealand to have to opportunity to re design the upstairs kids Sunday school room, these two doors were painted with chalkboard paint and I did a sparkly purple boarder. I also got to sew those bean bags and pillows!

I finally joined the succulent club, it is just the cutest low maintenance plant ever!
These are some small shots of the day we went sand boarding in NZ, such a rush I was hesitant for the first 5 mins but after I went down the steep slope head first once I was ready to do it again!
