Some Lovely Blogs

So I just got back in town from spending a week at an overnight church camp, sleeping in a cabin with 12 nine and ten year old girls while counseling a small group during the day and can I tell you, I.had.a.BLAST! I've been volunteering as a counselor or CILT (back in my younger days), since I was 15 and I've only missed 2 summers due to grad school and low enrollment. Last year was one of the summers I missed and I was hesitant to go back this year because, I really felt like I needed a break from children this summer. An old friend texted and facebook messaged the daylights outta me till I agreed to go back and boy am I GLAD I DID! There's nothing like gettin out in the woods and reconnecting with nature, God, old friends, and children. :) I feel so refreshed and recharged which, is ironic considering that I didn't sleep more than 5 hours during any one night out at camp lol.

Anyways, right before I left for camp, when I was in the middle of coming up with a cabin thing, packing, and trying to finish the last Shades of Grey book (while savoring every second of it), I found out that Antoinette and Emily from 4321teach.blogspot.com and Dede over at 1stgradeevents.blogspot.com BOTH gave me the One Lovely Blog Award!!!! Teehehe, I'm so excited! You know launching your own blog is kinda scary at first, because there are already soooo many other great bloggers and you just wonder if there's room for you. I'm so glad I made this blog and I love that I'm becoming a larger member of a wonderful, teaching community.
