Camp has been going extremely well so far. Last week was Sr. High which was a lot of fun to staff for, and this week is Staff Week which has been extremely fun all around. Not a whole lot to say at the moment about either and I haven’t taken any pictures, but being at camp again this summer has been very encouraging and challlenging in my walk with Christ. I’m always amazed at how much I grow every year.

On a completely different subject… I’ve been tagged for the first time by Alison, so here goes.

Six unspectacular quirks of mine:

1. I have an obsessive need to pick up trash that I walk by. In fact, a friend and I were just talking about this subject yesterday. I CAN NOT walk by a piece of garbage. I’ve tried. LOL. You just wish you could hear the conversation going on in my head when I try to walk by a piece of garbage.

2. Leaving milk in cereal bowls bugs me. Unless it is pure sugar because of the kind of cereal you were eating, why waste the milk? Come on. Just drink it.

3. I crave salsa. Anytime is a good time for chips and salsa. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not craving the chips. It is definitely the salsa, you just need something to eat it with.

4. I am unambitious. I’m pretty happy with where I am, I’m not sure exactly where I’m going and I’m okay with it. My future is in God’s hands and if I am focusing on him, he will direct my paths. I don’t want to create huge goals and accomplish great things by my own will and power, God’s plan is so much better then I could ever dare ask or hope. My all is for him, wherever he takes me.

5. In every personality quiz I’ve taken, I fall almost directly in the middle ground. Not to far one way or the other. Even-keel describes me to a T.

6. I believe on waiting for the man that God has picked out for me. I have also decided and set aside my first kiss for my husband on our wedding day.

I tag… Rhonda, Moorea, Katy, AJ, Niki, and Valerie.

This morning was the end of Breakaway (Jr. High) week at camp. It was an awesome week, I am completely wiped out. Above is a picture of me and my cabin. I had so much fun with them this week. Next week starts Sr. High and I will be maintenance staff. What’s going on in your summer? Talk to you all next weekend!

Hey all! Life’s been crazy lately. Since my last post there has been a camping trip in the Black Hills, a road trip to Montana, a camp made ready for the season, and staff gathered for the first week of camp. My schedule continues to get crazy as I have five non-stop weeks of camp starting today. I may or may not get some blog posts up on the weekends. Hope your summer is great and I’ll catch up with you all when I can.

I’m back to quilting again. I have been working on this quilt for quite a few hours today. The quilt top is done and now I am just working on the backing. I realized that I didn’t have enough of one fabric to do a solid back, but that I do have a bunch of scrap pieces and leftover pieces from the front of the quilt. So I am doing some random piecing on the back. It will look very interesting when I’m done. Basically the quilt will be reversible. I would love to have it done soon so that my room will be completely finished. Everything else is done. In fact, I am sleeping in our new house for the first time tonight. It is just me and my brother out here at the moment. Our family will be living between two houses until our other house sells, hopefully soon. I will probably be back and forth between the two houses over the next few days. On Monday I am heading out for a week long camping trip with soon youth from our church, and then from there to Montana on a 2-3 day road trip. Life is going to be crazy as soon as June starts. Crazy is good though. I love summer.
