Really, where the heck did August go?!!!! Was it not just 29 April like umm..yesterday? Have I really been in the States for 4 months already? Wowzers! It's definitely time to go back to Turkey!! And I am heading there soon! Just a few more weeks and I get to go back to my husband, home and friends whom I've missed SO much! J-Twice tells me the kitchen and laundry room miss me as well....or it could just be his way of saying HE actually misses me being around. ha. But I also just remembered....I will FINALLY get to see my new dining room table and chairs..and the million and a half rugs J-Twice purchased when I first left! Everything is going to be like brand new to me again! Can't wait! Since I've been gone all summer, there have been lots of people leaving and joining Turkey..so sounds like I will be meeting lots of new faces once I get back also. Nothing like making more friends!
Shawna's wedding (the reason I am still in the States!) is just a mere 2 weeks away from Saturday!!!! I can't believe my best friend is finally getting married!! SO excited for her, she deserves the BEST! A couple weeks ago, a few of us girls took a trip to celebrate her Bachlorette party in Nashville...it was a blast!
We started the day off with lunch, mani/pedi's, shopping, a couple of the girls got tattoos ( I couldn't decide what I wanted), and then dinner at a Sushi restaurant..YES...I tried Sushi..and I admit, actually kind of liked it. That was either because it was actually good or because I wouldn't allow myself to swallow until it was all able to be swallowed (tasting as little as possible). ha ha And then had a night out on the town. It was fun! I didn't take my phone or camera so I have no proof of me trying the Sushi, just take my word! :)
I got to spend quite a few days with the kiddos I used to nanny for. They are a blast, never a dull moment with them. Made me miss them even more, I hate how grown they are now and I'm missing out! The boys are both playing football and the girls are both cheering. They are the cutest kids ever. I forgot how much you are ready for school to start at the end of the summer! Their mother and I just kept giving each other the look of "OMG! Seriously!?" But it was so much fun and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Next week, my family (minus my brother and husband) is heading to the beach. I'll be back in Ohio for a couple days and then heading to KY to celebrate Shawna and Will's wedding. Three days after that, I start my journey back to Turkey! This summer has surely flown by, and I've enjoyed just about every minute of it! No, really...I've enjoyed every minute of it! I couldn't ask for a better family to take care of me while I've been home all this time. Being here for so long will probably make it hard to leave again, but knowing I will be home soon after (just not for a long, extended period of time) will make it just a little bit easier. And knowing that my family plans to come visit Turkey next year will definitely give us something to look forward to.
Until next time!
