My Crazy Life



As you can see my family came up to spend the day with us to celebrate my brother's 22nd birthday. These are my cousin's twins: Luke and Emma. Luke and I are on part of the set that I helped build during training week and where the rest of the program staff runs the shows during camp. Ususally I am in the back running the slides. We just finished up our first week of camp with the kids. I have been working for five weeks: two before the rest of the staff came and three after, but it seems like it has been a lot longer than that. I have been enjoying my time on staff. God has been teaching me a lot of good things and I am excited to see what else he has in store. Some of the highlights have been making a 60 foot blow up whale out of tape and tarp named Doris, getting to know the program team better, and being able to work with my mom and dad. Anyway I am trying to get in all the rest that I can this weekend before more than 200 kids come in tomorrow. This rest has included going into town with my parents and seeing Fantastic Four (a fun movie that I really enjoyed that had some interesting syimagery [symbolism and imagery put together in one easy word] at the end), and helping them buy a new Subaru Outback in a cool orange-red color. (yeah for spontaneous car buying experiences!) I hope you all have a really good week.

"How May I Direct Your Call?"

Thats right...I have started working at the office here at camp and I am quite enjoying myself. I have been getting into a routine of working and then coming home and relaxing but I know that that will all end very soon when camp offically starts on Sunday and I have to give up most of my free time. I am trying to get it all in before hand. Its not that big of a sacrifice because I know that this is where God wants me. So for now I am enjoying being with the fam and watching some good movies like The Queen, Pirates 3, and some oldies like The American President and Absence of Malice*. All of these films were very well made and not a waste of my time at all. I have also been enjoying The Waltons (thanks to my mom's renewed love of her old favorite show) and the first season of American Dreams which my family really like when I was in high school-even though it didn't last very long. It is the extended music edition so we have been enjoying some great music as well. Anyway just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the happenings of my life.

*Just as a side note-I love Paul Newman:)
