| | I was able to visit home for a couple days this week. Although short, it could be described as very successful and really fun. Wednesday my dad and I worked on my car which, although taking longer than expected, was a great experience. I can now say I know how to change the brakes of my car...I can even change the calipers too! Definitely an exciting moment in my life. :) Thursday my best friend, Trisha, finally arrived back in the States and I was able to spend some time with her and her family. Most of our time was spent shopping with her sister Topaz...Trisha is great at spending other people's money :)
Then, of course, Friday was the 4th. Although wanting to leave from Wheaton early enough to make it to Carmel's parade...it did not happen. Instead I sadly drove the streets of Wheaton as festive people began to line them in anticipation of the upcoming parade. I wished I was staying to celebrate too but I drove home to Carmel alone, without even patriotic music to serenade me. The evening improved my spirits as I spent time with friends from church, wandering around CarmelFest, counting the number of students I saw (I counted 30!). The fireworks were great, my favorites are the white ones that cascade down.
All that to say, here are a few pictures of the last few days :)
