One week Vacation

I have been in Southern California for almost a week now.  Even though I have not made it too Santa Cruz, I have been enjoying the first week of my 12-week journey here with my grandparents.  It has been a week full of fun trips to Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Downtown Huntington beach adventures and just relaxing.  I am sad to say that I have not actually enjoyed the beach and sun yet, as I have not had time to lay out on the beach.  BUT, I have 11 more weeks for that ;)

I actually have to remind myself that I am going to Santa Cruz, as being on vacation for the first week has made me think as if I am going home to Ohio first! I am excited to say that I will be finally in Santa Cruz on Wednesday.  My grandparents and I will embark on the 360 mile drive from Huntington Beach (near Los Angeles), up to Santa Cruz.  We will take the scenic route over two days, making stops in Santa Barbara, Morrow Bay, and driving up the Pacific Coast highway along the water and mountains.  

I am a mix of every emotion heading to Project.  But I am prepared for a radically changing summer that is filled with meeting 60+ people that will forever be in my life.  To sacrifice my summer, and give it to the glory of the Lord will bring so many blessings and willingness to follow where the Lord wants me, beckons me even further to follow the Lord. 

Two more days, and I will be in my summer haven :)
