Renovations

Now, when you think of renovations... you think of completely stripping down to nothing and changing everything. Well, that is what I hope you are thinking. I think of renovating a house. Has anyone seen the house renovating shows on TV? the ones where they completely gut out the house and then make it completely beautiful inside?

I have decided this summer is going to be a time to completely renovate me. (wow, that kinda sounds selfish)... well the matter of the fact is that I have not been taking care of myself and therefore hurting others in the process. This summer, I hope to renovate my body, mind, and especially my spirit. It is going to be a battle and I am quite a stubborn person. But I know this is what is best for me because it will help my relationship with my Creator which in turn changes my life daily.

So, the summer has officially begun and I have been keeping myself busy...

First, I actually had an interview with a hospital for a Child Life Internship! I feel that it went quite good and I am praying that if this is what the Lord wants me to do, He will make it happen.

Secondly, my summer job while trying to figure out my future is to babysit three children. There are two girls and one boy. The oldest, Connor, (who is a girl) is going into the fourth grade and definitely acts like a little mother. The second, Clayton, is going into the second grade and loves to dye his hair blue everyday. He is always willing to try something even if it gets him hurt! The third, Claire, is two years old and is quite the girly girl. One day after putting her bathing suit on, she was looking at herself in the mirror and says "I am just so cute!" Claire is definitely the baby of the family and I have a feeling she is going to be a bit of trouble later on in life with all the boys! The pictures are of a trip to the zoo we made this last week!

Third, A group of friends and I are taking a CAKE DECORATING CLASS! It has been quite a challenge. Turns out, making a smooth cake is hard. I love to make the different designs with the different tips. I especially love to make the homemade icing. It is so delicious. Our next class is tomorrow night (Monday at 6) and we have to bring one cake iced with the extra icing to practice in class. Today, I made 6 cakes to freeze to practice on during the week and 3 batches of icing. I am officially a baker!!!

Fourth, I am just relaxing and taking everyday like no other. I have no definite plans for my summer except my job, so therefore I have alot of free time on my hands. I have been reading the Twilight series and they are wonderful. I have also been exercising a lot more trying to work on that renovation!
