Strawberry fields forever

So today i went down to my grandma's house. we got brunch, went to pick strawberries, WHICH ARE AMAZING. picking ones grown closer to home are always so good. they are so sweet. and even though they are tinnnyyy. they are amazinggggg.
ahah.
then i helped my grandma clean out the closet in her spare bedroom, because that's where my mother and i will be living. my brother will be in the basement.
i must say i love my grandma and it will be fun to live with her, but me and my mom in the same room. bad. very bad.
i need my own space...
sigh.
plus my grandma lives like 30 mins from my work/internship/camp that i will be working at and all my friends, well almost all my friends.
it's going to be a lot of gas.
sigh.

but anyways i helped my grandma clean out TWO bags of clothing, for good will, ONE bag for this rummage sale her church is doing, and a bunch of things for the yard sale my aunt is having in two weeks. we also had a bag of trash. :)
it was sweet. and i think my grandma appreciated it! i mean she honestly has three closets full of her stuff.
now it's down to two.
one with all her coats/blazers and the other with all her other clothing. haha
it's kind of funny.
but it's good.
and i can tell my grandma is kind of excited for us to live there. she was talking about all the food she can make, and THERE IS A TEN THOUSAND VILLAGES NEAR HER HOUSE!!! which i am ecstatic about! i had no idea there was one down there! it's awesome! so she said we could go to that too :)
haha.
then i came home, ate dinner super fast, well only because i was at my grandma's house for like 6 hours. helping out :)
and then after dinner i went over to my supervisor at my church for my internship's house, to help his wife set up for this jewelry party she was having. and well attend the party.
it was for this cause called Women At Risk.
it's about human trafficking.
It made me so angry to hear about how it is everywhere and no one really does anything about it.
for more information you can check out
www.warinternational.org
I think it's important for women to know about what goes on.
also they have jewelry which women who get out of prostitution and such because of human trafficking make, and it's really amazing. all the money goes to benefit them!
i bought a fish bookmarker...which i decided to wear as a necklace instead, and this super pretty ring.
so now i'm at home again. i should be packing my books up. my uncle and cousins are coming up tomorrow to help load things into this trailer thing my mom is borrowing from a co-worker. so i need to have all my books packed. sighh. i just dont' feel like doing that. plus they are taking away my bed frame. :/ i'll still have my bed though.
sooo i really need to pack.
too bad it's already 10:38 at night... oh well i'll do the books. shower then pack more tomorrow. before they come over.
blahhhh.
okay bye!
please check out that website! it's really informative and i think it's important for people to know about it!

work sounds interesting. fun even. haha. but yay you for making money. boo on your brother for getting a nose ring? or a piercing. that's just weird. sad that you're packing up all your stuff but hey, one day you'll be on your own again right? just bring all that with you :) tiny strawberries sounds so good right now. i will most definitely look at the site you posted. p.s. what is a ten thousands villages?
