"So long. Farewell."

Of course this next post is going to be one of those delightfully cheesy ones where i wax poetic about all the wonderful memories. And seeing as I haven't kept you all updated in quite some time prepare for a long one ;)

To remember:

Sitting on the boatdock late at night...chatting, joking and talking about nothing at all.

Dancing around to crazy kids worship songs.

Those moments when your co-counselor shows up and saves your cabin from imminent death at your hands.

Wondering what is really in that "chicken."

Sitting up till 2am around the fire during camp out.

Praying with campers after the Jesus Walk.

Having life chats with Theranza.

Walking to Mr Twisties for the best Caremel Greek Frozen yogurt ever.

Standing by Niagra Falls and getting soaked by the mist.

Indian food! Jamaican food! Legit Chinese food!

Wondering aimlessly around the most massive Walmart I've ever seen.

Swimming in the pool-taught myself to dive!

Every single camper I was blessed to work with-drove me crazy at times but could also be my saving grace.

Those moments when a camper says something brilliant and hilarious.

Discovering random roads-that one stone cabin with the blue shutters-I could live there quite happily for some time.

Movie nights and dancing the Cotton-Eyed-Joe and chocolate muffins.

Watching my fellow staff members be Jesus to their campers, I was so blessed to get to know each one of them for however short a time.



AND NOW: headed home for 5 days and then off to college for Student Teaching-pray for the much needed and much procrastinated paper work to come through.
