Hello World,
This past week I visited Jacksonville to see Ian. Little did I know that we would end up at the cutest, tastiest coffee shop I have ever been to. Its name is The Soap Co. Coffee Shop, and I know once I get back to school I will be spending a lot of my time there. It not only sells coffee and pasties/other foods, but it also sells handmade gifts that were either made by people who work there or from people around town. It is a great spot to study as well. I know I will be dragging Shannon and Taylor there the first Sunday morning of the fall semester; they will thank me later!
I had a great iced vanilla coffee that I finished quickly. This morning I was actually craving it. I had not had any coffee until this afternoon, and the only reason I had any at all was to try to help my headache... and it helped... I kind of think I am starting to rely on coffee to help me with my day. I need to start watching it so I do not end up depending on it to function. As much as I loveeeeee coffee, I do not think I need to have to drink it every day. Maybe being away and working will help me.
Speaking of being away, the next time I blog I will be in Black Mountains, NC. My time has finally come! Although I have not yet started packing,(oops) I have done some shopping with Grandma Mary to get myself ready for my time at Blue Ridge. I have loved spending time with her, and I will miss her this summer. With that being said, I will talk to you all in North Carolina!

Spending Time Outside
Hello World,
Happy Sunday! Tomorrow starts another week and that means I am less than two weeks from North Carolina. I am so excited to begin my own adventure at Blue Ridge.
Yesterday, Ian and I went hiking at Starved Rock. It was a blast! I loved hiking and just enjoying the wonderful view from the top. Ian could not stop telling me what a great time he had. There were a lot of people, but the higher we got the less people there were. I cannot wait to go hiking again. Hopefully being in the Black Mountains will give me more opportunities to do so this summer.
I am already missing my friends from school. It's only been a couple weeks. They are just so much fun to be around and I cannot wait until I get to see them again. I was actually talking to my friend Josh today. He lives in Miami, FL and I am really glad we have become friends through IC. He was telling me how much he enjoys reading my blogs. He thinks they are interesting. It means a lot to me to hear that. It still surprises me when I have someone tell me they actually keep up and enjoy my blog. It makes me smile and I think it is just so cool. I started doing this for myself and just any family that wanted to keep up with me. I like reading their blogs so I thought I would start my own. It is a great way for me to end/start my week. However, the more I hear my friends say they read it, the more I realize I have a bigger audience then I thought.
I ended my Sunday with my parents, the Sgambelluri's, and Fr. Marty. We sat out on their porch, grilled, and just had a great evening. It put me in a very good mood. I really do like spending time with all of them. It has set me up for a good week. I am hoping to explore downtown Springfield with JT sometime this week; just something fun to do. Tomorrow I plan on finally giving my car a good clean. She is so dirty and it will be a great day to do it.

It's Summmmer
Hello World,
So I am finally home from school. I have been home for about two weeks, and it has been so nice not having to worry about school or homework. I am still waiting for grades to come out but I really do not think I have anything to worry about. It was a good semester/year and I was sad to see it end. I will begin the back half of undergrad in the fall. This does not seem possible, yet here I am...
About three days after I came home, the girls in my society went on our annual float trip: Spring Weekend. It is a great time to bond and really just spend time with my sisters in a different environment. I will miss all my sisters dearly this summer, especially with me being in North Carolina in about two weeks! It has all finally hit me that I will be gone for the summer. So far I have nothing but excitement for this adventure. Also over the summer I will need to keep my mind turning about our Rush season. It will begin around the last week of August and I need to make sure I do not leave anything out in my planning. I want to make sure that not only am I ready but my sisters are ready to pull in new members!
JT is in this final week of school which means I will have about a week of just him and me. I have some fun plans and I cannot wait unitl his finals are finished. He has taught himself how to play the guitar and I loveddddd coming home and having him play me a song. He has a ways to go but he seems to really love it and he is always practicing.
Alright, well until I back,
