month eight.

Month eight = 2/3 of the way through! It's hard to believe that I'm already at this point. There's only four more months left of JVC, and I'm so excited to see what they will hold. I feel like month eight contained a lot of my favorite memories of JVC so far, and I have a lot more to look forward to coming up. From St. Patrick's Day to spending a weekend on Peak's Island in Maine to Easter weekend, I just had a lot of fun this month, which is always a good thing! That's not to say that it was perfect or always exciting. Some of my favorite moments were just being with my community and just sitting around talking about nothing and everything. I guess that's part of what JVC is about though--embracing simplicity and just enjoying being with people. In short, I am especially grateful for the past month and all that it contained. I'm thankful for the people I have in my life in a special way.
