Lets Go Racin' Boys!

Today is finally here.

I've packed my clothes, bedding, and a few fun personal items... Where am I going. Camp! Actually, i've packed twice and ive attempted a move out there twice and each time, something always comes up and i end up moving on back to Dallas. Not my most favorite thing to do... but im ok with it. This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend and we're having 100 ish people come out and 'test' the camp. We're going to test paintball, the waterpark, the zip lines and ropes course.. (which makes zero sense to me because we haven't been trained on the zip or ropes course... and to me... it sounds like it could be fairly dangerous... being 60 freakin feet in the air and all) Im just saying. Odd.

So, im leaving in an hour to begin my summer portion of camp. Bye Bye administration junk.. (waves with delight)

Oh.. I have good news! I made a friend! Ok... im sure that sounded extremely lame and possibly a cry for attention, but i assure you, im just very great full. So Kayla (the new friend) is meeting me at the church around 10am and from there we are going to drive out to the camp.. she has no idea how to get there, so she'll follow me in her own car. We'll need to stop at the mall though, because... ok... listen to this...

Yesterday i remembered that im going to need khaki shorts to look nice on drop off days and pick up days... So i drove to the mall and went to Aeropostale and picked up a pair. They were on cheap too! (happy about that) When i got home.. i immediately began to pack, and as im pulling these new shorts out of the bag.. I see that the Anti Theft "No- Go" Alarm thinger is still attached.
( rolls eyes)
So i need to go back .... with my recipiet.... and have them take care of that little mistake. And why didnt the alarm system go off in the first place? Weird.


After this weekend, myself, Brandon, Jeremy, and Jordan will be going out to the outskirts of Fort Worth to complete a zip line and ropes course training... we'll be done around Saturday at lunch. Our camp's training week starts Friday, so we will have missed the first day... oh dear. But oh well. We need to be able to run our ropes course... so this is the price you have to pay. And its not even that big of a deal. Once training week is complete on the 6th... Allaso CAMPERS arrive on the 8th! Im very excited that the time has finally come. But also, im nervous.

Pray for Allaso.
(and for my own personal strength)

....And so it begins.

Evolution of Dance

Today has been amazing. The first set of 2nd interviews was completely successful. We had some great leaders who really showed their true colours.. also had a few shy, timid, 'followers' who also, surprisingly, stepped up and showed us that.. they want this job! ...they want to be apart of allaso ranch camp... and they love our God with all of their heart.
One of these girls who is fairly reserved came to me after the interview and said.. "Thank You. Even if i dont get this job.. because i know im not as outgoing as outgoing as some of these older and more mature leaders... i had a great time." That alone made me so happy. i was proud of her for stepping up and even thinking of saying that to me.

Today is a dancing day! I know that all of us on the executive team will be dancing this week. As of Monday, we will have all of our summer staff hired and that will FINALLY be a brick off my shoulder.
AMEN!

Switchfoot is going to be at Taste of Addison on Friday. Guess where im going to be all day friday the 9th. BOO YAH!
(happy dancing like the guy in the video clip)

The Office



The Office is on again tonight. Hurray!

For 30 minutes, i will let these actors and actress's mold my mind and possibly spoil my clean thoughts. And I dont mind. I look forward to it.
