YAY!

I haven't written in a while, so here goes my life....

I've had a very good last couple of weeks. I've been pretty busy. Last week was spent helping with Creative Arts Camp at my church. I got the chance to help out with keeping the young kids of other workers at the camp. I will confess that at first I wasn't overly excited about "babysitting" all week. Honestly I believed I could contribute more by working in music or movement or something like that since I have a musical background. I decided, however, to try and make the very best of the situation. I was amazed how God blessed the time I had doing that. First, I was able to play with ADORABLE kids for three hours a day. Who could complain about that? :) I also got to meet some great people. The mother of twins that I kept was one of them. We talked throughout the week, and I plan to babysit for her and possibly some of her freinds sometime soon. She seemed so excited to have found a "responsible" person that she trusted to keep her kids. I also got the sweetest note from Kim, the coordinator of CAC, on Sunday. She told me how much she appreciated me working and that it made it so much easier for the camp to run smoothly. I know now that there was a reason I was supposed to keep the kids this week, even if I could have worked in another area.

Other than that, I have been doing a little job hunting and gearing up for my next two weeks!! What is going on, you ask? Well, get ready to be jealous!! I am going for one week on a cruise in the carribean (thanks dad and debbie for the grad present!) and for one week to my FAVORITE place on this earth- Edisto Island. I absolutely can not wait. I am glad to have some fun, relaxing time before I buckle down and get a job and begin work. There will certainly be updates after I get back!

I have also had a lot of fun with David the past couple of weeks. We've gotten the chance to do things together at church, and outside of church. I helped him teach a 1st grade sunday school class last sunday-- that was interesting. There are certainly a lot of energetic kids in that class, but I think together we did a good job (I say we- David did all the work and just about all of the teaching). I've had a great time this summer, and I know i've shown him some sides of me that he didn't know were there. Thank you for putting up with my silly, hyper side as well as my sleepy side :) I am going to miss you SO much over the next couple of weeks sweetie, I hope you know that! Have muchos fun at VBS, I wish I could be there! --Peace out
