I went to the High School today. Wow, I am overwhelmed. I have so much work to do before school starts in (gulp) TWO WEEKS!!! Walking into the classroom was surreal, I felt like my old friends from high school would pop in at any moment. I need to rearrange the room and make it look different, I need to make it my own. So, I need some strong friends to come and help me move heavy bookshelves... any volunteers?
But, before all THAT I went to Orlando for a much needed vacation with my friend, Toffer. We stayed with Ben, Luana and my adorable nephew- Elliott. I also got to see my old mission comp, Aimee Olsen and her two daughters, Megan and Madison. In addition I saw some old friends, Andrea and Adam Daveline, Mallori Evans and Scott Myler. It was a ton of fun! But, I don't think I will ever go to Florida again in the middle of summer- too hot and humid for me! Here are some highlights-

Thanks to Ben & Luana! It was a much needed breath before the storm. And thanks to Toff for coming and having fun with me, I am grateful to have such an awesome friend. :)
Here's to the storm! (Pray for my sanity!)
