Friends

It has been way too long since I've posted! Summer has flown by. But I've had a lot of cool adventures! The first (and biggest!) was my brother's graduation open house. We had just under 200 people at our house! And surprisingly, there was a lot of leftover food. :)
Second, I got my drivers license!! The road test wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it might be. But it was a really monotonous drive.
Third, string festival! This happened the first week in August, and it's a great way to start practicing again. After slacking the whole summer and then playing every day from 12:30 - 5pm...first, you are really sore...second, you can't stop playing. :) I got to be concert mistress for one of the songs! That was super fun and a totally new experience!
Fourth: I met a girl from Japan, Karen, and we had a lot of fun trying to communicate through the language barrier! I learned that I talk really fast, and through only smiles and laughing you can become friends. We went to Lake MI with her and other friends for a day. We had so much fun!
The waves were huge! (we later learned it was a day that was really too dangerous to swim, but we didn't know at the time.)
Everyone had life jackets on so we'd just float on the waves. Karen and I were a little scared at first, so we'd clench hands and tough it out. And then laugh hysterically at each other. It was so much fun!
I'll get some more photos on here soon of our whole day, but here is one of Karen and I, crazy hair and all!
