ENOing

I'm starting to realize how much work goes into blogging your life. Don't get me wrong I love doing this, but you definitely have to set aside time to write your life story out. And sometimes I feel like I should be writing my deep thoughts instead of day to day tasks. Thoughts I have through out my day. The thoughts that lead me to changing my opinion or trying new things. I sometimes wonder if I should be blogging those. But when I look back on my life I will remember the event that caused the change and not the actual thought itself.  I guess what I am saying is if I decide to go skydiving I will remember going skydiving and not the events leading up to me making that decision. Or maybe I will. However, in the case of this blog I think I am going to start adding more personal thoughts and less day to day events. By doing this I may appreciate writing more. Writing what is inside my head and not just around it.

Man, I sure hope you kept up with that train of thought. Good luck reading the rest of this post.

Anyways I didn't do much before taking Alaina, Tweetie, Shae and Melanie to work day. They were shoveling grass while I ran around the track to get my workout in. The girls made me excited for camp. I know they will have the best time and I'm blessed to be able to share the experience with them. No matter how much Young Life pisses me off, the true core and mission of the organization is in God's hands. Maybe that is why I haven't quit yet. God has given me a gift through Young Life and sometimes that is what outweighs any decision. I am thankful I have gotten to know these girls and am able to share Christ with them. The memories we will make together at camp will be ones that will last a lifetime. We will make memorable scenes, and I can't wait!

Theresa and I went ENOing after camp workday. It has been forever since I laid in my hammock. Leisure is much appreciated when you can hammock literally anywhere. We opted for the Tree of Life, which is the amazing tree at the Central Market Park off 38th street. It is one of my favorite places to ENO. Last summer I spent several nights in my hammock with friends talking the night away. That is one thing I am looking forward to doing more. Unfortunately for us this was a Friday afternoon. These young kids kept coming up to us and asking about our ENOs. After awhile they managed to get both Theresa and I out of our hammocks and next thing we know we were helping the kids into them. Classic. Come to the park to relax and end up babysitting. Life of a nanny.


After I enjoyed a restful afternoon in my ENO, I changed and headed to Hula Hut for drinks!  I didn't eat anything because I made a delicious dinner for one earlier. Pictured above. I was so dang proud of myself, not to mention this dinner is only 500 calories. Anyways, so a group of six girls ate dinner and drank margaritas on a deck overlooking Lake Austin. Perfection. Grace and I headed back to her house after Hula Hut to play extreme spoons with more friends. We ended up outside in the front yard drinking beers and talking until 1am. That happens almost every time.

My days are getting later and later. So is the time I wake up in the morning. As soon as I figure out what I will be doing this summer my schedule won't be as free. I got the Social Media and Marketing Internship at Ten Thousand Villages but haven't decided if I am going to accept it. My parents are on the fence about it and they are the ones I need to convince. Hopefully everything works out for the best. I know it will. God has my back.

Just finished the very last page of my book. I 100% enjoyed every second I spent reading it. Maybe I'll give you a full review later. As of now it is bedtime. Night!
