This has been one of the most amazing weeks of my summer so far. And yeah, it has just started but that just makes me even more excited for what's to come. It's not like there were these amazing things that happened either but it was just a lot of awesome little things and spending my time with amazing people.

1. I started the week off with work. This week was pretty amazing too. I adore what I do, but sometimes it can get boring just standing around and not having anyone to pass the time with. This week was different and I met tons of kind, lovely people. 
2. I then went to the local farmers market in town. There were so many amazing things there that I would've loved to buy if I had had the money. There were gorgeous flowers, homemade bread, fresh fruit, and homemade honey. I love going to places like that just because of the atmosphere and the fact that everyone is always free to chat if you want to. 
3. Then it as work again for me. This day was also amazing and I got to meet more lovely people and received several hugs from the kids for letting them play with the butterflies. 
4. Then I volunteered at Relay for Life the next night. This is an amazing cause and one I hold in a special place in my heart. When a friend asked me to help her out I decided to go and I definitely don't regret it. I worked at the inflatables and got to meet even more lovely people who are a part of an amazing community. 
5. I woke up the next morning obnoxiously early and left with my youth group to go to The Baptist Children's Home. Which is a "orphanage" type place for kids that is supported by the Baptist church. I adore this place and what they do. We went down for a clean up sort of day and worked in their storage are separating shoes by size etc. This was just a great day of spending time together with people who are what I aspire to be one day. It was inspiring to say the least
6. Then to end the week my cousin, older brother, and I spent last night watching movies and just hanging out. 

It's easy to overlook these things in the long run. Eventually I won't think of these things as anything important, but right now they are and I couldn't be happier about that. I guess it takes time to realize that the little things are what matter. The moments where you stop and think "I'm so glad I'm here doing this right now." even if they aren't what you will always remember.

Love,
