Summer days are drifitn' away...

Hello! It's been a while.

Not too much as happened since I've blogged last! I started my Intro to Business class online and it's going pretty well. Next week I'm going to be a camp counselor! I'm really looking forward to that and finally being completely on the other side of things.

My friend Anna came back from spending 9 months in an orphanage in Haiti and had an amazing time. It was great to be able to hear about her experience!

My days are filled with work, sleep, some homework and family or friends time! I think one of the best parts of summer has been able to be with Evie so much. She's growing and changing daily! I love to be a part of it.

This week I find out if I get accepted into the South Africa program or not for Spring Semester '09, so I'm really anticipating that! I also am considering changing my major to Interpersonal and Organizational Communication Studies with my Biblical Studies minor. So those are the things that are on my mind!

Have wonderful days:)

My friends Melissa and Megan.


Evie about to crawl!

Cute little pony tale :)

Family Weekend!

This was such a great family weekend! Grandma came Friday morning to surprise Mom and Dad for their Installation Sunday where Dr. Steve Babby came and comissioned them as co-pastors of our church! Dad looked so great in his suit and mom of course looked so pretty.

We were able to do a family lunch on Friday, Vacaville Outlets Friday night, Ham at Barbies on Saturday, dinner and pool on Sunday and pizza on Monday!!! It was great to connect with everyone again :)

I'm off to bed. Especially considering I woke up at 3:30am and I'm about to go to bed at 3am! Ha! Luckly I have tomorrow off of work!!! :)

Love,
Paige

Summer update!

Hello Family and Friends!!

Summer has been a busy one so far! This week has been the first week in a while where I feel like I've been able to really relax. I've been working a lot at Starbucks. I really am liking who I work with so that's made it really fun! Today I had my frist 4:30am opening shift which was hard to wake up for, but I was off at 9:15 so that was a perk!! I am working all early mornings, so naps have become a necessity as I still don't want to go to bed early because I will miss out on the fun!

Lauren and Chris' wedding was so great! The day was full of business and pictures but it was so wonderful :) I was able to give a toast to them at the reception and I appreciated that. They are on a Southern Caribbean cruise right now for their honeymoon. It was a surprise for Lauren, so she was greatly surprised! They started off in Puerto Rico. How fun!

My summer is going to be pretty jammed! I decided to be a counselor at camp this year, and two weeks after that I'll be in San Diego for a week for Dad's ordination!! I'm so proud of him!!! I can't believe how he did it, but he finished! Three more weeks I'll be home after ordination and it will already be San Diego vacation with the fam and then one week and school! Don't know if you followed that whole trail, but it's going to be busy busy!

I'm taking summer school and not quite sure how I'll be able to do it too, but I'm sure it will all work out.

Ok, off to get ready for lunch. Have a wonderful week : )

Hello!

Summer has been great! Filled with adventures... but mostly just hanging out : ) I'm really loving being home!! Here are some pictures to enjoy :)


I know you guys have probably seen hundreds of beautiful, wonderful pictures of Evie! Thought I'd share this funny one :)

We threw Lauren a personal shower in the backyard. SO pretty!!! This picture is of Lauren playing a question game about Chris. When she got one wrong she had to put a marshmellow in her mouth :) The wedding is THIS FRIDAY!!! So, I'm busy with planning and in the excitement of that!!

I got my makeup done and took some pics :)

My friend Kalie's dad works for Southwest and so she flew out for free from Monday to Thursday. I know it had only been two weeks, but it felt like I hadn't seen her in a lifetime! It was so great hanging out. We went up to Tahoe with our friend Holly who lives in Gault (and also in the picture, in the middle) and Chad who lives in Pleasenton, as well as Megan. We had a great time hanging out.

This is Kalie:) (Pronounced Kay-lee) She is wonderful :) And loves to make funny faces.

Home Sweet Home!

I'm back in Sacramento!! I think I'm going through detox from seeing some of my friends so much! My good friend Elli is on her way, at this moment, to Israel and Egypt until the 18th, so it's going to be hard not even talking to her!

Everything is still in boxes in my room or the garage. Moving around is so odd! Once I get used to one place I'm packing up.

I'll post some pictures of the last few weeks of school. Enjoy :)

Almost home!

Hello:)

School's going great! I'm really, really enjoying these last two weeks I have here with the amazing people I'm surrounded by :) I'm excited to be home... especially to see EVIE!!!! Brooke sent me a few more videos and she's just jabbering away :) I love it!

This weekend was so much FUN! Friday I went to the beach all afternoon to night. It was really cold so there was no sunbathing! The bonfire was really fun and I got to know a different group of friends a lot better than I had known them and had a blast!

Saturday was a lazy/homework day. I woke up at 12, had lunch and did some homework. Jake and I got to go to dinner that night to Chipotle and catch up which was awesome. Then that night I went SALSA dancing with that fun group from the night before!!! We had SO much fun! We went to the lessons before hand and then when the party started we were able to dance with the guys we brought or from different ones that are there (and actually know how to salsa dance!) All to say, FUN FUN FUN!!! The pictures of the salsa dancing I am wearing the black dress and the red dress. Same event! My friend Kalie and I switched because she was sick of having to pull up the strapless and I was sick on my high heels!

Sunday morning I was on little sleep but really wanted to go to church to hear a great pastor, Francis Chan, speak. He is at a church called Cornerstone Church and I LOVED it! That afternoon I took a much needed nap and then went to a night service at Calvary Chapel with my friends Micah and Kalie, who goes to a Calvary at home. That service was very traditional and the speaker, Chuck Smith, talked for over an hour!! Ha... I was pretty bored but it was nice being back in a traditional setting for a change.

I am very excited because I got a job position at the Undergraduate Registrar's Office here on campus which is a great job! I will be coming back mid August to start on August 18th! Soo exciting :)

I also got my housing assignment!!! I am living with three grrreat girls, Kalie, Elli and Holly, in appartments across the street called Crestview. We got a great apartment and have some guy friends upstairs... so we will be able to control the noise level with a "quiet!" text :) We also have friends all around us in the appartments which will be SO much fun :)

Have a grrreat week!
