...It's been a while!

     I'm BACK! I know it has been sooo long since my last update, but honestly I was having too much fun relaxing and not being on a computer during my month off in August that I didn't take the time to update. "But its OCTOBER NOW!" you say. Yes, an entire month has gone by since August, and I sincerely apologize.
Ok. On to a brief update:
    We are currently in our third week of the first session of ACE (Alternative Classroom Experience) here at Pfeifer Camp. This session I am in one of the two girl cabins with my co-counselor Clara. Clara hails from Indiana and is pretty awesome. We have had our ups and downs with our girls so far. (They are a gossipy group). But we love them all the same. We have had a couple very successful camp-outs the last two weeks, and the girls are so excited for the one this week because they are determined to cook dinner for Ms. Clara and me.
    They are having fun in the cabin too and have decorated our cabin- dubbing it the Rockstar Cabin! There are streamers everywhere and the girls have decorated shiny stars and drew pictures as themselves as Rockstars! They even came up with Rockstar names. There costumes in the pictures contain a lot of color and spikey hair!
      As for how I am feeling this session; I have to admit that I am having a pretty darn good time. I am so happy that I decided to come back for a second year and am blessed that I have two other returners to lean on as well in Heather and Mike. They are two great people and I have enjoyed the time we have spent together so far this year.
    A thought that has really helped to sustain and motivate me throughout the first month here is that I KNOW I am really making a difference in the life of a kid. I know I could be so many other places and do that as well, but to have this beautiful environment, an inspiring returning staff and administration, and a program that works really helps to keep me grounded and helps me get through the tough times.
   In my next blog I will put some pictures up of our awesome cabin and let y'all know how our third week went!
Loves!
