Blessed and Ready-er

Summer has arrived... for some of us. Sorry Cal Poly and public schools, but Cuesta is out for summer! For me, I am out of Cuesta forever! I just graduated with my AA and am set up to transfer the fall I get back from Costa Rica. My fervent need for change and newness has remained in my system, though now it is simmering not boiling. Thankfully too, I aim to enjoy all that the Central Coast before I leave it for such a long time.
Here are a few updates for those following my preparation in leaving. First, I bought a plane ticket!! That was a huge step for me, but I am so peaceful about it! I felt like in the buying of that ticket there was no turning back. None. Somehow, I am really confident in that truth! This is a picture of me right after I bought it, as you can tell I am quite thrilled.

Then, I started to think about how I didn't have a good bag to take! So this started a little shopping and I bought two amazing bags that I love! Again, the excitement was too great and I had to take another #selfie :)

I am just so thrilled with all of it. The ticket, the bags, the adventure, and to be honest the summer too. I'll be backpacking, counseling a group of high school girls at Hume with my church, camping with family, and going to a sewing class with my aunt (all before I leave on August 1st). So many sweet and fun things to do by His good grace, I am so blessed to enjoy it all.
