this summer

(Disclaimer: All numbers are estimated.)

This summer was crazy. It was chaotic. It was fun. It was stressful. It was joyful. It was tearful. It was jam-backed with good times. It was interesting. It was full of growing experiences. It was...good.

This summer...

...I graduated from High School.
...I spent 5 weeks in WA helping my cousin.
...I went on a road trip with my sister to visit relatives in NM, NV, and CA.
...I drove/traveled somewhere around 4,500 miles (not including daily commute to work).
...I spent somewhere around 250 hours on a tractor.
...I attended my first wedding as a photographer.
...I went 35 days without seeing my dog (it was horrible).
...I was a counselor at a camp for a week.
...I house sat somewhere around 25 days for 3 different families.
...I slept in 9 different beds.
...I said goodbye to my sister for 2 years.
...I started a photography business.
...I bought a car.
...I took over 1,600 pictures (those are just the ones that I have on my new-to-me laptop that I got mid-July, so the 1,600 isn't counting trip pictures or anything...).
...and I learned a lot about God and His unfailing love for me.

Days go by

I can feel 'em flying

Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by

It's all we've been given

So you better start livin' right now

'Cause days go by
