Heaven will be decorated in pink..

These past few weeks have really been tough to over come.

The work at Allaso has been, not only piling up.. but has been completed. Im so lucky to be able to stay on top of work the way i was hoping to when i first came down here. The work loads involve a lot of driving.. eating fast food.. giving out my personal cell number to so many annoying / incompetent texans.. seriously.. I receive at least 20 ish calls a day just to answer a question when an answer has already been given. Such a pain. But its' al apart of the job.

One of our church leaders died last weekend and we held a funeral for her this past week. She was so young, so sweet, and just had the most amazing singing voice.. So thats been a real timely thing of a lot of the fellowship church staff. She fell ill and died all in a matter of four days. Vanessa had her thumb print all over the church.. she decorated.. planned events.. and was usually the most stunning woman in the room.

Brian is here with me now.. but only for ten days which is a huge blessing because we didn't expect this trip to happen. He was able to fly down just in time for our monthly anniversary... YAY! So we celebrated by going to a Rangers vs Blue Jays game in Arlington Texas... Rangers suck. That is all. Brian somehow got free tickets in a totally amazing area.. go brian! (does little dance)

Everyone loves free tickets.

Equally Skilled

Giddy Up…
It has begun. So to give you some back information… As most of you know, Im working for Fellowship Church’s new summer camp called Allasso Ranch. At the moment, this camp has around 4 full time staff.. Barry, Ellen (barry’s wife) Brandon and myself.
I had a meeting with Brandon on Thursday and we talked about how this summers going to look and the business of the weeks ahead. So I had been given a desk and a list of our church members who needed to be called and interviewed for some program positions. Lots more to do on the side of that as well.. I was to start Monday or Tuesday. Sounded good right?

I received a call from Barry (the actual camp director) (the guy who runs the show) (even thought we’ll all be working as a team… he’s the big boss) and in this call, he said that instead of keeping me in Dallas working out of the church… Basically this was an sos call from the big boss. And he pretty much said that during this call…. Hes going to get me out to the camp as soon as possible next week. He’s going to find a place on the camp campus for me to live and work out of so I can start on the admin work and so much more. Once I know more about what im doing, I’ll be sure to write about it. The only thing is, I have no idea how im going to get out there for a few days.. or maybe even more. Mom and I are sharing a car.. she has a full time busy life job and holly (sister) has her own busy life plus school. Oooo Bother. Oh, but I got a new phone. So hurray for that!

I miss my best friend. I miss random hang outs and dinners and the talks. I just need to get to work to pass the time.

Please fasten your seatbelts..

I have lost count to how many times i have travelled on an airplane. The many trips from Ontario to Texas or vise versa.. Flordia, Winnipeg.. and all of the stops in between. I think i've only been on a flight straight to somewhere twice. Yesterday was not one of my favorite of days. Not only was a leaving everything i was familiar with and loved, i was leaving the boy behind for the summer, the family, the car, the church, so many lovely clothes.. I was flying on two of the worst flights i've ever been on.

The flight attendant spilled an entire glass of tomato juice on the poor 'busy life business woman' beside me which made this already turbulance controlled flight just that much more pleasant. (not really) The juicy woman made quite the scene and made sure that everyone knew what happened. She stood up, screamed, yelled, said something about someone needing to re-think their career because it may not be their career after this flight... And this was when i turned on my Ipod, got out my crochet and my blanket in progress and pretended i was sitting on a stoop listening to Jon Forman play is guitar.

So, I'm off to a meeting with some of the other camp staff..
Wish me luck..
