Life has been so good. Busy, but fun. I got home from Florence Monday afternoon, August 25th and the whirlwind continued. Tuesday I had a great Father-daughter day with my sweet daddeo. We had a really fun day at the beach and then ended our day with a grill out and family dinner.

Then Wednesday I had lunch with my grandparents and sister and our good friend Melinda. Taste Unlimited, yum.
Then dinner with Granga for her birthday! So much fun with family and so much good food.
In between all those meals I had a lot to do to prepare for my move to Raleigh, I got to see some friends, and I had a bunch of doctors appointments and such. Then Saturday I headed to the BURG! So fun. Got to see a ton of my good friends who I hadn't seen since graduation and just have some silly, fun adventures. Then Tuesday I drove to Radford to visit Nathan, who is now a freshman there. It was amazing to see that sweet boy and let him show me around his new home. Then Radford to Raleigh. My new home for the next nine months. I am living with the Bolash family this year, they are nice enough to be my host family. Anyways, I'm here in Raleigh doing the Raleigh Fellows program through the Church of the Apostles. I am working at Alliance Medical part time, taking seminary classes Monday and Friday, volunteering at Neighbor to Neighbor (a tutoring program for inner city kids in Raleigh), working in student ministries at the church (I got middle school), and learning to live life in community with my fellows. It will be a lot, but no doubt an amazing experience. There are eight of us fellows (Me, Bethany, Cailey, Kelsey, Brian, Aaron, Sam, and Wade) and so far we have had an absolute blast together. We had a three day retreat at Atlantic beach these past few days as a part of orientation. We got back last night and had church all morning this morning. We were introduced at church and got to sit in on the student ministries that we will be participating in.
