"I could keep going!"

Hello Friends!
I know it has been forever since my last blog post. A LOT has happened since that time. I have compiled a list highlighting events of this exciting life I have been living for the past several months.

1. Apply/audition....At the end of the semester, I applied to be a new student orientation leader for the incoming class. The Friday I left for my Spring Break Ukrainian adventure, I received an email offering me a Focus leader position. I said yes! Further down the road, I auditioned for Union's two selective choirs/ensembles. After a week of suspenseful waiting, I received the news that I had been selected for BOTH! I couldn't/still can't believe it. I feel so blessed!

2. Finish all of my classes.... Out of all of my classes this semester, my least favorite was Math for Elementary School Teachers. I know what you're thinking. The word elementary is in the title, but my dear Watson, it was far from elementary. I conquered it and  I consider myself a champ.

3. Move myself out... My wonderful parents were unable to assist my final moving endeavor. (They had moved the bulk of my things 2 weeks before move-out day. They are the best.) Being a girl, I am not ashamed to say that I did not like the "I am woman hear me roar" persona I had to embrace for that daunting task, but I survived.

4. Finish my Freshman year!...C-RAZY!

5. Move back home.... Oh the wonderful things that happen when moving home: sleeping, movie watching/tv shows, catching up with the fam, hanging with friends, and finalizing duties as the maid of honor to my wonderful sister. Say What? Check out her new blog here!

6. Be the Maid of Honor. I have stood in front of people maaany times before, but this task was frightening. Visions of her beautiful dress being ruined swam through my mind (oh wait, that did happen ... but not by my hand. No worries - Mom came to the rescue). Whew, the wedding went off without a hitch. The only hitch-ing that happened was when Bro. Jimmy pronounced them Mr. and Mrs. Brad Boswell. Get it? Hitch...getting hitched...oh goodness.

7. GO TO THE BEACH! My excitement level about the wedding was high during the end of school, but my excitement skyrocketed every time I thought of the week following the wedding: a trip to the beach! Our trip proved well worth the wait. The one downside was when Kyleigh got stung by a jellyfish. You can check out her new blog here. After using shaving cream, meat tenderizer, vinegar, and alternating pain medicine, we were back in the water and having a blast.

8. Go to the movies: X-Men: First Class and Kung Fu Panda=WINNER, Judy Moody and the Not So Bummer Summer= Fun time with friends, and The Green Lantern= Quality time with the parents. If you were worried about the Brassarts breaking the bank with these movie tickets, just know that all of them but one were matinees and dad used his handy dandy gift cards for the others.

The title of my post comes from the show Parks and Recreation. Kyleigh, the one mentioned above, introduced me to it. We love it. One of the characters says that he could keep going on about his awesome ideas of invention and adventure. So far, my summer has been a great adventure. If you know me, you know that I love adventure. Please continue reading as I unfold more of this "not so bummer summer!"
