It's gonna be hard to catch up the last two weeks...Got moved to Richardson on Friday, started work at Fossil on Monday, and it's been fast and furious ever since. My computer isn't hooked up yet, so I'm about to go into deprevation over that. Better posts later. For now...
Things I won't miss about camp:
*sleeping on the breezeway and getting attached by rabid bugs
*sweating constantly, even in the shower
*crucifixion and all that entails
*ham
*middle-of-the-night bathroom runs
*counting kids constantly
*the heat (oh, wait, it was 106 here today...)
*licking my plate
*stairs
*the laundry room
Things I will miss about camp:
*playing with kids
*hiking with Brad into uncharted territory
*soccer games on the weekend
*worship every day
*being surrounded by 40 people my own age all the time
*clean-up and popcorn Friday night
*good conversations

*waking up at camp each morning
*pretty much everything not listed above...
Things I have learned since moving/starting work:
*enjoy the years at school, reality sets in soon enough
*get a map of the place you're working if it's big; that way it won't take you forever to find an exit
*if someone asks you for help, you should help them
*if someone wants to do things on their own, you should let them
*there are many, many people in the cubicles next to you who need to know God
*it is good to see/talk to people you haven't in a while
*missions is still on my heart and mind
*illustrator is much like freehand, praise the Lord
*sugar-free pie is just as amazing as with the sugar
*always have an air-vent in your bathroom
*reading is a luxury
*I miss people...a lot
*families take care of each other (thanks for the calls DM)
*it's time to start running
*don't take for granted having friends to go to church with; it's harder starting from scratch
*learning patience is an ongoing task...

Oh yeah, and I forgot to add that I will miss Grandma's cinnamon rolls and Granny Field's peanut butter cookies :) Feel free to add to the lists...
