Not much to say still...sorry

Okok I will write this now, you get no exciting pict's this time. I havent really been taking to many which sucks, but I have not had opportunities or time. Umm..this week was pretty good. I am exhausted from maintenance (cant spell) which I think is a good sign haha. other than having a million guest groups around, the only exciting thing to report is that i managed to get through family retreat. that is one retreat that takes as much energy as possible. It seemed to go REALLY well this year which was sweet. Many families came and seemed to really enjoy the retreat and the food! Good job Laura. I was in the kitchen which kinda sucked for me because I really really wanted to get out there with the people and kids. Having skills in the kitchen has started to give me disadvantages now. Im hoping that through this God will help me grow in maturity. I really want to be with the kids, unfortuantely I have to wait.

We've had many people come in since the last time I poasted, a lot of now faces, but it was really good to see Dave Clark back for another summer. The camp is still lacking on some major people though. Getting prayer for boat drivers, a skate park leader, dishpit crew chiefs, and more male CIT's would be great! Speaking of the skate park...it looks AMAZING! it's kind of weird at camp and looks really different but is well done! When the weather clears up I'll take some pict's and post them.
Another good thing is........I have a house!!! Yes the basement suite that I was looking at I managed to get with the help of God and my parents. I am so excited to move out in sept. It will be a big step in my growth as an adult and in maturity. All I can say about this is...come and visit me in the fall!!!! I have a couple pict's of the place here. The kitchen, living room/front door, and me signing the papers.




Other than that not much is new. If I think of anything I'll post it, but um yeah. Keep camp in your prayers, know that God is doing great things here already, and have a great week. (I sound like scott bayley there haha)

First week of AC

Yes, yes, yes I know I am like overdue for this. But the first week of AC nothing really happened that would take up a whole blog. Anyways...Advanced crew has begun! Though im in for a great 2 months, it is hard being back. The first week was really hard on me emotionally for a number of reasons. Though I am slowly getting through it. Still frustrating, but it is ok. God is good, and the devil is not. (dont ask) Umm this past week I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen as well as on maintenance which has been good. I find that being on maintenance gives me a better chance to connect with people for our hours are all the same and we are able to socialize while cleaning and such.

There are still many people to get to know. But that's ok. Im making the rounds. I managed to have a lot of fun one night with Doug, Phil, and Candice as we went out and did random things on a wed night. Here are a bunch of pict's from that. We had a lot of fun!I am in room 311 AGAIN. Yes this is the 3rd year in a row! (not gonna lie, kinda upset bout that) But it is ok cause I have sweet roomies. Alice, Sheri, Candice, and Alivia is supposed to be in there when she comes. That could change though. It's cool to be with different people that I havent really lived with before, it gives me a chance to get to know all different personalities in a closer way I guess I am trying to say. One night meesh came to visit our room, and she, sheri, and myself had a photoshoot. It was random, yet fun. Here's the one that turned out the best.This week nothing exciting is happening....other than work. I plan on working hard to become closer to the people here for I've kind of been hidden for a number of reasons. Pray that I can put myself out there. Life right now is hard as I try and climb out of a hole I fell into, but it goes on...Im still really deep in the hole, but I am slowly climbing out. Have a good weekend!
