Summer

I haven't blogged in several weeks so while I have some down time I thought I would catch up a little. The summer has been busy with youth camp and camp-meetings all over. Toccoa Youth Camp was great as well as camp-meeting that followed a few weeks later. I was able to attend Virginia camp-meeting in Dry Fork; which I hadn't been to since I moved to Georgia. The school which I attended and graduated from Community Lighthouse Academy in Liberty, SC had a camp-meeting the end of July. Lots that kept me busy and wasn't able to become bored. Also, during all that I had school. How I juggled it all is beyond me except with God's help. Hartwell had a pre-4th the end of June and it was fun. They had couple of venders including Bruster's Ice cream, watermelon, along with an orchestra band; around 9pm they shot some fireworks that were just beautiful. I mean what fireworks aren't? In mid July, a local TV station in Greenville FOX Carolina came to downtown Clemson on Friday morning for 5-9am for a tour they were doing called, Celebrate the Carolinas. Relay For Life Pendleton-Clemson sent up a booth with free bagels and coffee sponsored by a local bagel shop located in Clemson, Hudson Bagel. I was privileged to go downtown along with lots of other folks and help represent RFL and being a survivor. For my mom's birthday on July 21, me, her, and my grandpa took a ride in the mountains for the day. It was nice besides the fact that it rained some of the trip.  I have included some pictures taken through my adventurous summer.
