Summer so far...

After arrving in the US I immediately felt the shocks of culture. I was wishing I was back in America and wasn't too excited about being back to my "home country."
Since I've been back I've been staying at my uncle's house (which is above my aunt's restaurant) in Pennsylvania. It's a small town with not much to do. I did finally make a friend up here though, his name's Josh and he washes dishes at the restaurant. For the first week I was here I set up a new computer, got adjusted to my new cell phone, and walked around this small town eating ice-cream and going to Wal-Mart.
During my second week in America I went down to North Carolina to one of my best friends' brother's wedding. When I got to NC, I met Katie's friend Stef (an exchange student from Germany). In between getting set up for the wedding, Katie, Stef, and I had some fun times eating at the Waffle House while listening to karaoke, trying on interesting clothes at Kohl's (luckily not maternity this time!), and almost getting run over on the highway while trying to get to Wal-Mart with another friend, Sarah. The wedding was amazing. Preston and Angie are so cute together and the party afterwards was fun.
For my third week, Josh invited me to Creation Festival. It's this huge 5 day concert/speaker/worship event where everyone camps out (which I love doing since I'm such an outdoorsy and adventurous person...haha yeah right!) So yeah I slept in a tent, took cold showers with a sink hose, shaved in the grass, had a couple of fun water fights, made some really fun friends, and heard some awesome music like (Switchfoot, David Crowder, Jeremy Camp, Toby Mac, Mute Math, etc.) I hung out with some new friends - Kate, Krista, Justin, and Dan. I had a really great weekend and a fun ride home talking with Krista and Dan and having one final water fight with Dan.
Today's the 4th of July and I'm going over to my aunt's house for a cookout then to see War of the Worlds and Bewitched with a friend and my sister Abby. Sometime this week I'm going to Idlewild (an amusement park) with Krista and Dan. Then on Saturday Abby and I fly down to Orlando to meet up with the rest of my family who has been in Tennessee for the past week.
I guess America's not so bad. God has really been providing for me with friends and others surprises.
