However, with this summer approaching in it's fullest force, and the idea of just about all my friends heading to far off places, I decided it was time to embrace a more public blog to keep everyone updated on what goes on in my life this summer.
For those of you who are unaware: At about 6 a.m. on June 10th, I'll be leaving to spend 6 1/2 weeks in Jasper, Georgia working at the Salvation Army camp there. Back in February, Sam and I threw around the idea of working a camp, but didn't really want to go to NEOSA where we already know 50% of the staff. So, we both started filling out application after application for camps in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Tennessee, Boston, and of course Georgia. Finally, during Easter break, we both got hired as counselors at Camp Grandview.
While I'm incredibly nervous for this experience, I'm even more excited!! I just want it to be here now!
New place. New people. New experiences. Not to mention so many new opportunities.
I have no expectations, because I have no idea WHAT to expect. All I know are the amazing things that some of the returning staff have had to say... I'm sure I'll come home with some great stories... along with everyone else :)
I'll look forward to everyone's stories from PNG, Brasil, Adirondack Mountains, Kenya, Europe, Japan, and wherever else in the world my friends are ending up this summer. I love you guys.
