Summer...glad it's over.

Well, its been a pretty crazy, work filled, tiring, but fun summer, and I'm glad its over. It was nice to finally be able to go on some vacations, I think this is the first year in a long time that I've had a good vacation. Mackinac was wondeful, beautiful, amazing...(my list could go on). Cedar Point was kind of fun, but chaotic...my Mom wonders where the time went (she used to be able to ride rollercoasters and have a lot of fun)...I want to know if I missed my time...not quite sure it ever happened. Nauvoo & Iowa were fantastic...I miss my family already and can't wait to go again, I forgot how fun it was to just go and spend time with family...thanks again Aunt Karen, Uncle Kevin, and Jenna. My birthday was great, it was so nice going out with friends to celebrate. The Doty Family reunion was fun, as usual, but hopefully next year we can camp. And then, just like that my summer was over. I spent all of August working almost nonstop between Michigan's Adventure and Double JJ. I worked 26 out of 31 days, most of them being 10am to at least 9pm, between the two. Luckily I was able to get in a few fun days. I went to Michigan's Adventure one morning, just to ride Ripcord and Thunderhawk. I LOVE RIPCORD!!! It was so fun riding with my friends Marci and Emily, I was lucky enough to meet them at work this summer. Then I went to Michigan's Adventure again, with my Mom, sisters, and some of my really good friends. We had a lot of fun. I rode Ripcord again, this time with Amanda and my friend Kelly, that would make it my forth time riding. Sadly my fun ended there, at least for August. I worked the next 12 days straight. Seven of those days were the beginning of September, thank goodness I finally got a day off this last Tuesday, and I've been fortunate enough to have the last three days off, with the exception of going to school Wednesday night. I'm also proud to announce, that as soon as the payment clears, I HAVE PAID OFF MY CAR!!! That takes one HUGE weight off my shoulders. So even though I had a pretty great summer, I'm glad its come to an end. Now I can sit back and relax a little.
