Mid-Ohio Valley Work Camp ~ 2006

Well, this week of work has been interesting. Usually I work Monday through Thursday 12-4 and Friday 8-12. This week is Work Camp and I have been helping feed about 125 people or so lunch everyday. So my hours are definitely different, but I have had a lot of fun. It sounds like Work Camp was successful yet again, even though it is officially not over until sometime tomorrow. And, considering that stupid Satan was trying to ruin the week...well did we have news for him...haha There is no way that rain will ever stop Work Camp from happening.

Last night there was an illusionist and he was amazing. He did a rubberband trick right in front of my face, literally, and I am still amazed. He was great! The speaker for Work Camp this year has been awesome. He knows how to communicate to everyone, teens and adults alike. He has done a great job. Last night he made us bow our head and imagine that we were at our own funeral. He made us listen to what friends and family said about us. He made us think about whether or not people were at peace with the life we lived. He really hit home with a lot of people. So, thinking about that, I want to let all of my friends and family know just how much I love them and I am truly thankful for all of the memories, blessings, and relationships we have shared. I love each and everyone of you!

Anyhoo, please keep my sister in your prayers. Just when she starts doing great and things look promising, something triggers her to react negatively and it sets her back. So, please pray for her and my mom. My mom drives to Barboursville at least once a week and it really wears her out.

Well, I think that is about it. I am ready for Work Camp to be over so I can see my husband again. haha I'll write later.....

Just to let you know...

This summer is going to be crazy. We are almost finished moving from one apartment to another, we are both working, and we have a ton of extra things going on over the summer. Ryan has something every week during July. We are both going to Mystery Mission Trip, especially since it was his idea, we are now going to New Orleans to do some Disaster Relief work, he will be doing Work Camp, which I will go to when I am not working, he is counseling a week of church camp...they tried to get me to come, but I don't do bugs very well, especially spiders..., we have our yearly VBS at GC, not to mention we still do all of our usual events with Powell residents. WOW.....it's going to be crazy...but I'm sure it will be a lot of fun and very worthwhile. OK...I have to go home to fix dinner for the hubby....more to come...when I get a chance!

Yeah for Ryan & Jessie!!!

Ok, so nothing new has really happened since yesterday....EXCEPT....Ryan and I found out that we passed our tests that make us certified teachers. Yeah! It's a good thing since they were really expenisve. $200 a test....and since we both had to take it that made $400 and if we didn't pass and had to take it again then...well you know....so that was great news. Well, that's the only new information I have for you today!
