sunny days chasing the clouds away

This is Melissa and me in the process of getting beautiful!

School at Bethany ended yesterday. Today everything felt empty and quiet at work. I had forgotten how lonesome the summers can feel at Bethany. We had our end of the year banquet this afternoon and officially shift into summer mode next Monday. Outside of summer camp weeks I will only need to be at Bethany during summer office hours, 8:30-12:00! Yeah for short days.

I have 11 people taking tennis lessons with me this summer. I picked 6 dates this summer and am just packing the afternoons full of lessons. I have decided I want to buy a new digital camera with my tennis money. I love scrapbooking, but have never gotten excited about taking pictures. I am trying to change that.

I started a new summer project last night. I bought a new summer dress pattern and fun fabric. I've gotten all the easy stuff done. I preshrunk the fabric, cut out the pattern, cut out the fabric and am now ready for the hard stuff. I am somewhat hesitant to start sewing because I have so much trouble reading the directions. I am more of a hands on learner. Maybe I can convince Mom to help me this first time!

Tonight is my first summer tennis league match. We are playing over in Michigan City and I am actually a little nervous. My new team is having me play singles all season and I feel high expectations from them. I hope I don't dissapoint. My team is gunning for a bid to nationals this year!
