Beginnings of summer

After finishing the semester, I had high hopes for getting a summer job, earn some money, stay busy for the summer. I filled out numerous applications, had a few interviews, but nothing stuck. Fast forward to the beginning of June, still no job! As it turns out, my cousin needed help remodeling her house(new paint on the inside, moulding, carpet). So after having no luck finding a 'real' job, I agreed to help her out. In return she fed me every day and even gave me about $250(she was family, and i'd take anything!).  Anyways, that lasted for about 5 weeks, and took up quite a bit of time, which I was thankful for.  The summer didn't find me traveling very much, except to Monmouth one weekend to see my sister graduate(lucky!).  Wow, I didn't think I could sum up the majority of my summer in a paragraph! I did take a road trip with my sister for about two weeks in August, which I'll cover in the next entry(with pictures!)
