Camp

I had camp last week. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. It wasn't as intense as last year, but just as good.
We left Monday afternoon. The camp is only about an hour or so from where I live, so it didn't take that long to get there. After getting settled in our dorms (guys in one, and girls in another, each sharing the dorm room with one or two other churches) we went to a pep rally. Mainly they introduced the staff and went over the rules. They did show this funny video going over the rules though. Next was dinner. While waiting in the line (despite there being two lines, it can take what seems like forever just to get your food!) my youth minister's wife, and two daughters, a 3 year old and a 1 year old (and another one on the way). And let me tell you, they have the cutest kids on the whole entire planet. I can not even tell you how cute and adorable these two girls are.
After dinner was worship (we had a great speaker and band), then church time (I LOVE church time), and then it was time to go back to our dorms. Lights out was at 11:45 P.M., but that doesn't keep everyone from talking late into the night.
Breakfast starts at 8:15 A.M. (sometimes earlier), and I'll admit, I am NOT a morning person. I can sleep till noon (my record is 1:00 in the afternoon-and I still haven't broken it), but I am willing to get up on time, unlike some girls (with one girl, last year we had to tell her there where bugs in her bed just to get her awake and out of bed). The food isn't all that bad-it isn't great, but I'm not trowing up after meals like I want to do after some camp food meals (I've never do it before, but trust me, some camp food is down right SICK!). After breakfast was personal quite time. In addition to my devotion (it's a Point of Grace-one of my favorite bands-devotion), I'm reading a chapter of the book of John.
Next was morning worship. Our speaker talked about having a purpose in this world, and fulfilling our destiny. It was really interesting. And during worship, I really felt called to be a dance teacher when I grow up. It was so cool.
Then it was rec time. Honestly, I didn't do rec. I did one game, and that's it. I just sat in the shade, drank water, and cheered my team on. It was so hot-it was 100 degrees or hotter. You start sweating just by sitting in the shade. Then it was lunch (and with air conditioning-our favorite), and then off to another pep rally, which became more fun (and alot of screaming). After prep rally it was the banana boat time.
I LOVE the banna boat. The first day we did it I fell off, then we tip it. The secound day I fell off, but no tiping. The third day was like the first day. After the banna boat it was the pool, then shower. During intoor activity time, it mainly consiste of chasing my youth minister's 3-year-old (have I told you how cute she is?). Outdoor activity time was the same as rec. Then it was dinner time, then evening worship, followed by church time. The third night during church time we had the Lord's Supper, and that was an amazing time. You could see God working in my friends lives, it was truly amazing. And it was amazing seeing everyone praying for everyone. It was so cool.
On Friday we came home (one of our rental cars was late, so we where home later then expected. Oh well, we had plenty to do). So it was a great week.

I love summer. I love being able to do absolutely nothing. I love being able to sleep till 11:00 A.M. I love being able to watch movies and read all day.

Here's a documentary on J.K. Rowling (my favorite authour of all time). It's really, really good. It comes in severl parts so that's why there's so many:

Recital, and Graduation

Not only are finals are over, but so is my first year of high school. School ended on Tuesday at 1:00 P.M. I had my dance recital last weekend. It really went really well. Here is me in my HUGE (and beautiful) tutu, and my friend (the one in the blue shirt) and her family from church:

They came and watched (with my parents of coarse!), which was really sweet of them!

Today my brother graduated. A whole bunch of family came, and we had a big lunch/dinner (with a HUGE cookie cake for dessert). It was really fun. I have such a sweet and loving family!
