The obliteration of our front yard

For the last few days my family has been decimating our front yard (or as my friends insist, lack of one) We took out our sidewalk, the wooden barriers that held our yard in and the driveway. We're going to fill in the driveway and sidewalk with dirt and plant some grass to enlarge our lack of yard :o) Our cement stairs that lead to our door are going to be covered up with a wooden deck with stairs going down the side. Right now we are still in the destructive stage (muahaha) Less than a month until my missions trip to New York!!!

I love missions trips!

Hey long time no post, eh? I was going to wait until one of my friends sent me a picture so I could at least interest you in what I put in my blog, but since there seems to be a shortage of photography going on you will all have to live without...
So, updates....
Well, last week at my wonderful youth group, we found out what missions trips we will be going on! After 10 weeks of rigorous requirements and testing, our hard work bore fruit...some lemons and some oranges, but in my case, mostly oranges (mostly)
I found out that not only am I going to New York in July I am also going on Newton missions trip (well yeah, that was a given since it is my church but still...) in August! Those are my oranges. I won't go into the lemons (lol Hannah)
Right when I get back from New York I have to unpack, wash the clothes, pack up again and head for North Carolina! I love camp! So until the second week in July my life will be and has been most monotonous. Everything with escalate and I won't miss my boring summer days (where all you have to do is work) at all!

Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr Golden sun, Please don't burn me!

Ahh, summer vacation is awesome....specially when you get to spend it with friends! I doubt that you can tell in the picture but I have a wicked bad sunburn from going to Hampton Beach Monday...When I went to youth group on Wednesday everybody was like..."Wow,Linda you have a sunburn!"Observant aren't we? I went with Merry to her Grandparents house where we swam(swum?) in their pool. This picture was taken right after I wiped out on their deck lol... well until the next post, Tootles....
