It's Good To Be Home -- Camp Home.

Well, after 5 tests, 2 projects, 2 papers and a presentation, I SURVIVED last week! I loaded my car very quickly on Friday and headed to Cypress to enjoy a super lazy Friday afternoon/evening. We had a little scare with KJ and she ended up being taken to the "Animal Hospital", but after being loaded up with meds, she is all good!

Saturday was probably one of my favorite days of the entire semester.

I left Cypress EARLY Saturday morning, and pulled into Whistle Stop in Livingston around 8:20 to meet Laura for breakfast. We talked and laughed and enjoyed catching up. So good!

Then I headed to camp to work retreats for the day! I got to take my favorite trail out to the lease, and spent a bit setting up for a messy game with Cullen (ran paintball last summer as a part of Activities Team). At one point Nate, my boss from last summer, drove up in a golf cart and gave me the biggest hug. It was SO good seeing both of them!

After the messy game that we led, Cullen and I had about an hour to kill, so met up with Marcus and Barbie (both on leadership last summer with me) and watched TV until lunch.

After lunch I worked kayaks and lifeguarded at the lake for the afternoon with Cullen, Jacob, Michael, Caleb, and Jess (all of who were a part of leadership last summer). I have never had so much fun lifeguarding!

Then the rain came, and at that point I truly felt at home. Rain and camp are two of my favorite things, so when they happen at the same time -- OH MAN! LOVE!

At that point I was done for the day, and the rest of them had more things to do, so I said my goodbyes and headed over to Nate's house because Allyssa was in town! I spent about an hour over there talking with them and playing with his new puppy. I loved getting to catch up with both of them!

All in all, such a WONDERFUL Saturday -- it was so good to be back at camp!

I spent all of Sunday working on a research paper and being lazy at home, and then drove back to Bryan this morning! Such a good and restful weekend -- now on to the next 5 weeks where I have something EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND... Here we go!
