Hey Folks! It's Wendesday. (in case you didnt know.) And the week is now half over.
I'm sitting here, infront of my computer, with my second cup of coffee. I'm getting kinda antsy though... I really want to go do something. And I think I will soon. I need to make a run downtown. The mall is calling me!
After being on the run all summer, being home where things run a little slower is kinda hard. I need to find myself a job. I really want to apply at this one greenhouse/nursery in town. I've wanted to work there for a couple years, but just never got around to checking it out. Maybe I'll stop in there on my way downtown... Or maybe I'll wait until next week...
Oh, but next week I go for my GED exams! Say a prayer for me Tue., Wed., and Thur. nights, starting at 6pm. Those are the days I take the test. At the moment, I'm not really nervous, but I know the closer it gets, the more nervous I'll get!
Monday morning I sent my application to Southern. Online applications are a breeze! I dont know why I didnt try it sooner! lol My goal is to get down there by January. It's the only school I've applied to, and at the time of my application, I had no diploma or GED, no SATs or ACTs, and no backup plan. This is gonna be a God thing. I'm leaving school completely in His hands. I'm doing my part, getting the GED done and applying, but acceptance is up to Him. If you get a moment, say a prayer for me!
Once I get done with the GED stuff next week, I'll be working on unpacking from camp (yes, I still haven't unpacked!) and moving back into my closet of a bedroom. Then I get to begin cleaning out my junk. I have way too much junk in that little room. The last time I organized and rearranged my room I took out 2 full boxes of stuff, and I haven't missed any of it. They've just been sitting upstairs. They are back in my room now because there wasn't any other place for them. I need to go through those boxes and get rid of stuff I know I will never use again. Then I need to put away stuff I'll want for my future house someday, and stuff I'll want at school.
Ahhh, I come home from camp, and all of a sudden I feel like an adult. At times I like it, and other times it scares me. I've got a lot more to worry about, to figure out, to DO! And money is suddenly an important factor. I actually have money from working at camp still. I haven't spent it all yet! (yay for me!) That really is an accomplishment for me. Usually my paycheck is spent before I get it. Time to break old habits and start new ones!!
And then there's my sweetheart... He's on the road right now, headed to Southern. I miss him so much! He's on my mind and in my prayers a LOT lately. Please keep him in your prayers too! :-)
Well, I think I'm gonna head out now. I need to get moving. Got stuff to do!
Hugs!!

In shock......
Ok, wanna hear a sweet story?
My boyfriend is leaving for college on Tuesday. I haven't seen him since we both left camp a week ago. I didnt know if I was going to be able to see him again before he left. He's been working on putting a new engine in his truck all week, and if he wasn't far enough along by yesterday, he wasn't going to be able to come. Well, he called me last night, and he didn't get enough done, so he wasn't able to come. I was heartbroken! I missed him SO much! We talked on the phone for almost 3 hours, and while we were talking, he was talking to my parents online. They were giving him directions to my house, and to my church. They also gave him my Dad's cell number. They wanted to see him as much as I did! (well, almost as much)
So, this morning, I chose to stay home from church and sleep in. My parents let me, as long as I promised to show up at church for potluck. So, I slept until 10, then got up and ready to go. Little did I know, Jordan had called my Dad's cell just as Dad was getting to church.
When Jordan woke up this morning, he decided on the spot to come see me. So he called Dad to ask if it was ok. Of course it was! But no one told me he was coming! So there I was, eating lunch, talking with people I hadn't seen all summer, minding my own business... I happened to look up at the door just as Jordan walked in. I was so shocked to see him there... I couldnt even speak!
I'm still surprised. :-)
He drove 3 and a half hours this morning, just to see me, and only be able to stay for 4 hours, then drive back home again. So sweet!!!
We spent the afternoon posing, and not posing, for my Mom's camera. The picture above is one of the pictures taken. He and I both dressed up, just for fun, he in his suit from Thailand, and me in my banquet dress that I haven't worn for a year and a half. What we didnt plan was that his dress shirt was almost the same color blue as my dress. :-) We had a good time.
I'm gonna end this now... I'm still smiling from this afternoon. :-) I think I will be for a while.
I think tonight is a good night to watch a chick flick and eat the rest of my Starbucks Java Chip icecream. Good night!!

Home at last!
Hello! I'm finally home from camp. I got home around 5-ish on Sunday, and just now have the energy to post.
Camp was a wonderful experience this summer. I have a ton of pictures that I need to sort through and put into an album for you guys. I'll work on that soon. The pictures are visible evidence of all the memories I made over the summer, but they dont do any justice at all.
So many awesome people at camp, I'll try to name them!
Kellen, Scottie, Aryn, Erik, Lisa, James, Darren, Malorie, Hannah, Alycia, Yannick, Sara, Julienne, Juli, Shelley, Steven, Carmen, Laurel, Troy, Dunk, Nor, Klung, Erin, Jesse Ma., Jesse Mc., Josh, Raf, Abdiel, Keri Red, Keri Ray, Sheila, Stephanie, Derek, Robert, Ashleigh, Bec, Ron, Jenny.....Just to name a few...
And then there are 5 people I must mention, and thank them for making this the best summer of my life.
Kasandra, my sister! Of all the people at camp, I had no idea you and I would get so close. I'm so glad we did!! Miss you, pray I'll see you soon at southern, and give your beau a hug for me. I dont know him, but if he's dating you, he must be a keeper. ;-)
Adrianne, roomie. What a summer. I dont know how you put up with the crap load that you got. But you did! I couldnt have picked a better roommate for the summer. I miss you!! We need to get together again before you leave.
And now for my guys. :-)
Micah, you rock. The photo room just wasn't the same after you left. Or maybe it was just the compu crashing... ;-) Either way, you were missed greatly. Don't know if I'll see you next summer, but I sure hope so. Camp won't be the same without its resident ferrit. Plus, we need you to make us our no-bake cookies!!! Love you, man!
Vinny. What can I say? I remember the day I met you, we were handing mics to the crazy people in the play. Ahh, the memories! Starbucks, KRs, days off... heehee. You'd better stay in touch, man. RI isnt that far away. Consider this a hug from me to you!
Last, but certainly not least...
Jordan. I honestly don't know what to say. You and Vinny kept me sane all summer. When I needed a laugh, you were there. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, you were there. And when I just needed to sit and be quiet, you were there. How can I thank you for that? You are wonderful, fantastic, adorable, and completely awesome. I miss you. I love you.
I guess thats all I have to write right now. This was certainly a summer I will not soon forget.
Goodnight!

I'm not dead!
I know, I know, it's been forever since I've written. I apologize. Life has been incredibly busy here at camp. Yep, still at camp! And will be for another week and a half, almost. I can't believe the summer is that close to being over... It was hard work, but I've enjoyed almost every minute of it, and the weeks just flew by! It's already Thursday!
Right now we are in the middle of the first week of Family Camp.Today we are putting on a carnival! It sounds like fun, and it will be, but I still have so much work to do!! I'm the programming assistant for this week. It's my job to make sure all our programs and worships run smoothly and on time. It can be a very stressful job, but the end result is rewarding; knowing the program ran well, and I had a hand in it. It makes me look good. hahah
I bought a new camera recently. And I love it! I've had so much fun going around taking pictures this summer. I have so many between this camera, and my parent's camera... more than last year, I think.
The staff here at camp have been awesome this year, I'm gonna be SO SAD when it's time to leave. This weekend I have the opportunity to go to NYC with a group of staff, and I am so excited! We are taking our 3 Thai staff members, our 5 Aussie staff members, and then three of us Americans. :-) I can't wait! We leave Saturday night.
well, I guess that's all for now. I should get going and find some sort of work to do...
Love you all!

A few spare minutes!!!
Hello my friends! I actually have a few minutes to write! Wow!
Camp is going well. It's been busy, and stressful at times, but fun. I'm really enjoying being here.
I am a cabin counselor, meaning I sleep in the cabin (well, in the counselor's quarters) with my kids. This week I dont have any kids though, and I'm kinda glad. I still need some time to get into the swing of this counselor thing.
Well, breakfast is being served, so I'm gonna head up to the cafe. I dont know when I'll be able to post again, but hopefully this will hold you over until then.
Much love!

Today be the day...
I leave for camp in about 9 hours. I'm excited, but kinda guilty too... I can't wait to get there, but I feel bad about rushing out on my family. But I have to do this. I can't wait to get there, and just be able to take a deep breath. ahhh...
So yeah, I'm not going to stay long here. I've got stuff to do, and places to go (last minute shopping) so I can be ready to leave. Please feel free to email me LOT'S while I'm gone, ok? And some of you have the address for the camp, so write to me! I probably won't have the time to write back, but letters keep me going. Give me energy. :-)
Well, I'm gonna go try to wake up. I'm ony up this early to see my Dad before he leaves for work and I leave for camp. I could NOT leave without seeing him. (Love you Daddy!)

Almost time for camp...
Hey folks. It's the week I leave for camp! I haven't figured out what day I'm going down, I think I'd like to go down Wednesday evening, but I'm not sure... If I dont go down Wednesday, then I will go down Thursday. Gotta still talk to Dad about that, see what he thinks. Now that camp is so close, I'm anxious to get there and start my summer. Life here has gotten so confusing, especially concerning one person, I just need a break from seeing them. I need some time to relax and not always be thinking something. Yeah, anyways...
I'm hoping this is going to be a good summer. I dont see why it wouldnt be, but there's always something that could happen. I dont have a boyfriend this year though, which will make things a lot easier. Last summer ended with a breakup, so that wasn't easy. This summer I'm taking a break from dating, so I shouldnt have that problem again. In theory, anyways.
I'm trying to figure out the most economical way to pack. Not easy. I have some stuff packed already, but I'll probably end up starting all over again. And I'll most likely pack everything I wont need and nothing I will need. Such is life. lol Maybe I'll make a list. I always have to when I pack for a weekend, maybe I should for a whole summer... hmmm I'll keep thinking about that.
Man, I'm tired. I think this week is going to be the most stressful for me. Another reason I want to get to camp, I can relax for a couple of days before it gets busy... And if I go down early, I can get settled in before the mad rush on Friday. That will be nice. Gonna have to get as much sleep as I can this week, cause I know I wont get as much as I'm used to once I'm at camp. But thats ok, it's part of the fun.
I suppose I should go work on packing again. I'll try to post more this week, and I definatly will before I leave. I dont know how the summer is gonna go for posting, but I'll try to keep up. If not, I'll try to fill you all in once I'm home again for good.
Love ya!

Time to vent a little? Maybe...
Yeah, so, I'm feeling gray.
Life is overwhelming, it really is. Just when you think everything is under control, BAM, something hits and everything kind of explodes into a million peices.
Or maybe, everything is already on the verge of exploding, and just when something tiny bumps it, then everything falls apart.
Or maybe both.
Yeah, as you have probably figured out, I'm a little frustrated with my life right now. I'm sick and tired of my plans changing for one reason or another. I wish I could just depend on something. Right now, I can't depend on anything! I'm having issues with trusting people, even though things are OK with the person who caused that I'm still having problems. I feel like I'm on the brink of being depressed, if not already there, thanks to school issues, relationship issues, and spiritual issues. I'm a mess! (I put on a good front, dont I?) I don't want to talk about this with anyone, and I really don't know why. I just dont want to. I'm not the one who supposed to have problems. I'm the one who helps other people. Ok that doesnt sound right... I'm the one who's supposed to be the support, thats what I love doing. I shouldn't need to be supported. Nah thats not quite right either. Oh well. Forget it.
If I dont think about my life too hard, I'm fine. All hunky dory. I just need to keep busy.
Yeah, if you know me personally and read this, don't worry. I'm fine. Just dont ask me about school, and dont ask me if I have a boyfriend, and we'll be all set!
Going to bed now, long day tomorrow...

HAPPY JUNE!!!
It's June!! Yay! And what a gorgeous day it is too! What a way to bring in the month.
But sadly, it was also my last day at the office. :-( I loved working there, the people were fantastic!! They even had a "last day of work" mini-party for me! I got there, and I was handed a card, and told to go downstairs, where they had icecream waiting! lol Everyone had already gotten into it, since they didnt really have time to wait for me, but it was still a "sweet" gesture! I talked to my boss about working there again in the fall, after camp, and he said "We'll talk." I'm sure I'll be able to. I'd rather work there than a McDonalds or a Shaws. Nothing against those places, mind you, I just dont think I'd be able to stand it for very long at all.
I'm hopfully going down to the Tech tomorrow afternoon... still haven't made it down there yet. Grr... Oh well. I'm kinda disappointed that I won't be about away to college this fall (for those who didnt know yet) but I think it will be a good thing. I'm just hoping I can get a different bedroom before too long... I can't do another year in this matchbox of a room... Ahh, the dreams I have...
Oh, Jack, if I'm staying home, you had better come see me more often!! lol
I'm gonna have a busy 9 days... Tomorrow we are headed downtown to meet a friend of Moms, then I think I'm going to pick up Amber tomorrow night, and Friday is Aaron's birthday (He's gonna be 18!! *gasp*) Then Sabbath is gonna be BUSY!! Sunday we're going to Maine for the PTA graduation. (Alyssa, I hope you'll still be here!) And then all of next week will be getting ready, packing, and buying any last minute stuff for camp, which starts for me on the 10th!
Once camp starts, I don't know how often I'll be able to post, but we'll see.
I should go now and see what there is for supper... I'm hungry!
Tata, my friends!

Hello my friends.
It is raining. Still. I think I'm getting moldy.
Sorry I haven't written in a while, I've had a lot on my mind, and didnt feel like posting. But I think I'm better now!
I'm sitting here, with my mocha beside me (how many times have we seen that?) thinking about a lot of things... I'm not sure how much I want to type here though. Hmmm...
Camp is coming in two short weeks...I am not even ready yet. I've got shopping to do! My last paychecks from the office are going towards stuff for camp. My list isnt that long, but its things I'm not gonna be able to do without.
Oh, I need to set up a checking acct soon... I've got my savings, but that's not always convenient.
I have one week of work left at the office, and I'm gonna miss it there! I think I'm going to talk to my boss about working there again after camp, maybe actually answer telephones this time. heehee I really don't mind the work there. It's all filing, which doesnt take too much brain power. I just have to know my ABCs!
So, yesterday evening I was a wreck. The weight of school finally got me. My GED has been pushed back to August. I haven't sent in my applications for college yet because I dont have the money for the fees. And I dont have time to get all of that done before camp.
Hmm, I don't think I want to get into the rest of that right now... I need to go hop through the shower.
Bye!

Camp is coming in two short weeks...I am not even ready yet. I've got shopping to do! My last paychecks from the office are going towards stuff for camp. My list isnt that long, but its things I'm not gonna be able to do without.
Oh, I need to set up a checking acct soon... I've got my savings, but that's not always convenient.
I have one week of work left at the office, and I'm gonna miss it there! I think I'm going to talk to my boss about working there again after camp, maybe actually answer telephones this time. heehee I really don't mind the work there. It's all filing, which doesnt take too much brain power. I just have to know my ABCs!
So, yesterday evening I was a wreck. The weight of school finally got me. My GED has been pushed back to August. I haven't sent in my applications for college yet because I dont have the money for the fees. And I dont have time to get all of that done before camp.
Hmm, I don't think I want to get into the rest of that right now... I need to go hop through the shower.
Bye!

Woohoo!!
Wow, I'm tired! haha!
Star Wars last night was... good! I won't write my thoughts just yet, I'll give you all a chance to see it first. Then you can form your own opinion. :-)
Tomorrow morning we leave for the prayer retreat! YEAH! I've been waiting for this for a LONG TIME! I'm trying to get my friend Adrianne to go, but it's REALLY last minute, so that probably won't work. But hey, I can try! lol
I've got a lot of driving to do tomorrow. I'm hoping to get us outta here by 9-30-ish. That's the plan anyways. heehee. Let's see... 3 and 1/2 hours at least to get there... I wonder how many CDs I can go through in that time... Lets find out! haha
Well, I gotta go peel potatoes. I probably won't have time to post before I leave tomorrow, so, until the next time I write, have a wonderful weekend!!
God Bless!

Hey look, I'm GREEN!! hahahaha
How are yall doin'? I think I'm finally over being sick, for the most part. I can sing again! I drove my brother nuts on the way home from the Bible study last night, I turned on my country radio station, and was singing along. He didnt like it much. The music, not my singing. Can you believe he doesnt like country music? Its unbelievable! Who could NOT like country music?? lol
I guess I'll keep him though, for Amber's sake. haha!
Prayer Retreat is in a week!!! YEAH! I am SO HAPPY!!! I found out last night at the study that there are a LOT of people from my church going. We're gonna be the Concord Contingent! We'll cordon off a part of the lodge just for Concord people. lol We'll take up half the meeting house!! hahahaha Well, Ok, maybe I'm exadurrating a little bit... But there will be many of us! The poor church back home is gonna be empty next weekend. Between the Prayer Retreat and the Pathfinders all being gone somewhere... wow.
So, I was thinking the other night, and reading some in my Bible, and I came across some cool stuff. With all thats been happening lately in my dating life, I've been thinking a lot about relationships and being single and letting God direct that part of my life. The other night I found some verses that really help with that. Most of them are just verses about God leading in your life, but they can apply to this too. I'll post them here later today.
Mom and Sam and Aaron are going out today, groceries! So the twins and I are gonna have some fun girl time here....after chores are done, of course. But since I'm in charge, even chores will be fun! I mean, how can you not have fun doing dishes when you have Superchick or Hawk Nelson or BarlowGirl playing LOUDLY over the stereo?! Maybe I'll even put in some Brad Paisley or Rascall Flatts! hahahaha I will convert this family to country music someday!
Ok, I need to get going for now. Need to take my shower and start my day. I've spent the last couple hours since I woke up reading. I had to finish my book so I can move onto the next one! (Just finished book 3 in a 5 book series.) I plan on starting the next book today...sometime... :-)
Going now!
Hugs!

I'm back
Hello my friends!
I truly apologise for not writing more. I've had a ton of stuff on my mind, and haven't really felt like sitting down to write. But I'm here now, so watch out! :-)
So lets see, whats been happening... Well, I think I mentioned I was sick... but I dont remember... so, Guess what?! I was sick ALL last week! Like really sick, spent all day in bed, achy all over, unable to breathe, THAT kind of sick! Not fun! But I'm all set now... just still have the stuffy/runny nose thing, and my voice hasn't come back yet. I was told by my loving cousin this weekend that I sounded like I've been smoking. haha (the same cousin who used to call me Ashtray)
My brother just came in, fresh out of the shower, and he looks like one of those really shaggy dogs. lol I guess he's waiting for a haircut.
Oh, I got my new glasses last week! They're dark green, but look black sometimes. I love them so much! I got prescription sunglasses too, which are totally cool. I'm happy. :-)
Prayer Retreat is coming up in a week and a half!!! May 20-22!! I am SO excited... I need it so much! With all the stuff I've been dealing with, that retreat will be more like a vacation! One of the highlights is the Golden Silence, two full hours of no speaking. Everyone goes off on their own, they can do what they want, but it must be silent. The last few times, I've spent the time with Jeremy, who cannot stay that quiet for that long. :-P (You know I'm right, Jeremy!) So this time I am making sure I'm alone. Just me, my blanket, my Bible, and my notebook. I know exactly where I'm gonna go too... but I'm not gonna say where, because then people will follow me there! muahaha
Wow, I was just handed a check for $50!
Man, I hope my voice comes back to normal SOON! I'm listening to my country station, and I wanna sing, but I cant!:'-( Thats been the hardest part about being sick, I can't sing. I just need to be able to sing for the retreat. If I can't sing there, I will be SO man! haha
Well, I suppose I should get going. I have an hour before I need to go to work...less actually, cause I need time to stop at the bank, get gas, and maybe get a coolata. heehee
Hugs to everyone!

Oh my!
It's been a while since I've written! Yikes! I'm slacking off!! :-( But I have good reason this time, I was sick in bed all week! Yucky stuff... But I'm better now, yay!
I really can't write long, headed to bed soon, and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow, but I felt bad about not writing for a while... so here I am!
And there I go!
Goodnight!

Hi!
Hey!
Just thought I'd write before I started considering going to bed for the night. ;-)
I mean... uh... if my parents are reading this, before I DO go to bed for the night!
Actually, I should be going to bed soon anyways, been up late so many nights this week... thanks to SOMEONE!! hahahaha
Tomorrow I get to go visit another cemetary! I can't wait! I enjoy them so much! The history that you can find in them...
Sometimes when I see a particularly eloquent headstone I wonder what kind of person they really were. Did they truly live up to the inscription? Or was their family just trying to be polite one last time? And what about all the stones for babies? Those make me so sad... children who die before they are even a year old. I wonder if they were from a big family, or if they were the only child ever born to their parents. Were they the oldest? the youngest? Or were they unwanted? There are so many questions around each headstone. You could create wonderful lives for the person, or they could be a dastardly villian! It's such a "scope for the imagination!" to quote Anne Shirley.
Ok! I'm done! :-D
Time to go for the night. I want to do some reading, and maybe some writing, before I go to bed. And maybe I'll catch some interesting people online. We'll see how things go. I just need to keep in mind that I can't sleep in tomorrow... blah...
G'night!
