Hesston round 2

Well, summer's practiacally over. I'm out in Kansas again doing RA training before classes start. It is nice to be settled into a room that I know will be mine for the next 9 months.

I got to be home this year for my birthday! This hasn't happened since I was 15 so it was wonderful. I had a tractor cake that was Hawkeye colored; it was pretty much amazing. Also my parents, Jessica and Jeremy, and my grandma were all there; basically I got to be around my amazing family just like old times ('sept my brothers).

I got home August 1 and stayed there for 11 days chilling with my parents, having a bonfire, hanging with Ohio friends, and staining the deck. Great times.

I really am glad that I was able to spend this summer living in Iowa. Volunteering at Elements was a great experience as was watching all the children during the week. I'm going to miss the kids as I know that I will most likely not make it to Iowa near as much as I used to growing up.
Lisa told me that Tray was asking when I was going to watch them again; oh the innocence of 3 year olds. It made me smile and yet be sad all at the same time.
