Summer ♥

This summer has probably been the best yet, even though I spent 9 weeks with smelly boys while I worked at a Boy Scout camp. I met some of the craziest and best friends I could imagine and got to spend sometime with old (and still dear) friends.

My summer started off with a somewhat impulsive idea to cut off what was left of my hair.

(Me at the Nasher in Dallas)

Next stop was Boy Scout Camp.. I taught the Art and Pottery merit badges. I got paid to do what I love. The kids had some crazy project ideas, for the decorative project. One boy made a really awesome Minecraft creeper and I asked him to make me one since he finished early. It'll make a nice geeky addition to my dorm decor this year.

I had a little bit of time to work on my own projects and chill in my hammock by the lake on the weekends.

Skyler and I went on a date one Friday. We drove up to the top of the scenic drive with pie from Pam's Diner and milk cartons from the EZ Mart. We got there as the sun was setting and a storm was rolling in. There was lots of lightening but it was really pretty. Once it got dark we couldn't see anything but it stopped raining so we drove to Arkansas just because.
On our other weekends off we'd go to Arkansas with our friends, we'd hit up walmart or target, the movies, and we always ended at Starbucks for a wifi party and good coffee (neither which are readily available at camp). Every weekend was a new adventure.

 

Now that I'm home I've been a bit crafty and artsy. This is a mug I wrote on for Meegan. (We have a bit of a Jane Austen obsession.) (DIY: Sharpie on a mug, bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, dishwasher safe)

Off looking for adventure--♥kb
