home
so this past week i got to visit my home in sa. it was so good to see my family and my dog! it was a very eventful trip home in that i had something planned for almost every day. wednesday i took a trip out to camp eagle to visit with them. i had been planning on going for a visit for a while, but a few weeks ago i found out that they were opening up a new position and that my name had been brought up. so of course, i fill out the application and they send me the job description, etc. well, wednesday we actually got to talk in person, and it was good. i didn't want to get my hopes up though because i knew they were considering another person and unlike me, she did not already have commitments for the next 2 months. they told me they were going to talk about it and let me know in the next 2 weeks. so, the next day when i got a phone call from them i was pretty stinkin' excited! anne called me to tell me that they were officially offering me the position and that they were willing to wait until november for me to get there. God is so good in providing exactly what i need! not to mention, this is something i have wanted for a long time! i had wanted to work at camp eagle full time since last year (well, for longer, but i was only able to since last year) and God said "no" then. but i guess He was really just telling me to wait. so cool!
friday my mom, brother and i went to the beach. i was so excited, i had been waiting to go to the beach for a long time! i had really been looking forward to this day! we left around 8 that morning and i drove my mom's car to the beach. we got there and the weather was perfect! it was breezy and hot, the water was about 85 degrees (so warm, i know...), and it was super sunny. great day for the beach! the water was clear and turquoise and so pretty - it actually LOOKED like the gulf of mexico for once! i saw some really fun little sea creatures but i don't know what they were. things i had never seen before, though! once we left the beach we were going to snoopy's for dinner and got into an accident. the exit came too quickly and so we hit a curb and just kinda...lost it. we were all ok, but the wheel and axle were bent, and the wheel had almost popped off the ball-joint. the tow truck man (who came 2 hours after the accident...we spent a lot of time waiting on the side of the road...yay for harry potter!) said that at the speed we were going, if that wheel had popped off the ball joint (which it was sooo close to doing) we would have flipped and would have all been dead. just another thing that shows that God is good and He is looking out for us. He still has a purpose for us on this earth! we eventually did make it to snoopy's and we had to wait for my dad to drive from kerrville to come get us and take us home. we finally got home around 1:30 on saturday morning.
saturday and sunday i spent in college station with heather. it was great fun! it was good to get to see her again and just spend time with her. we also made the obligatory stops to layne's, chicken oil, pepe's, and shivers. so fun!
yesterday i flew back to co and i must confess, i am so glad for the climate change. of course i miss the people back home, but i am glad to be back in this state. so for now i am hanging out with rache and andrew and having a jolly good time. so great! we have played wii resort which is pretty stinkin fun, and went to see monsters vs. aliens last night, which is hilarious! tomorrow i return to camp, and i think i am ready. i miss the people there and i miss the beautiful mountain valley which i call home. i am looking forward to meeting the new people that i will be working with, but i will most definitely miss the wilderness guides.
