not often in life do you get to just get to do things because you really want to and not have to think about someone else relying on you or what people might think. this semester I have really been trying to do things for me. not worry about what others will think or holding back, but just being kellie and doing things that will make me happy.
this weekend was no different. some of my favorite campers from weeks 7 and 8 had decided to meet up to watch one of Kate's tennis matches at a school that the other girls went to. luckily for them they all live within 30 minutes of each other and its not a problem for them to all get together. kate, morgan, nina, emily, katie, and sarah are some of the goofiest girls and are so typical teenage girls that laugh at stupid things they do and take 500 selfies and love each other so hard.
there was no way I could miss out on a chance to be with these girls one more time and surprise them in illinois at kate's tennis match. so after class I packed up my things and took a two hour car ride to la grange.
i loved how they ran down the street when they saw that i was there
that we called tyrell during dinner and said "you can't see me" way too many times
that Kate still told all her random facts and it just made me smile to see her shine
when Nina and Mo are so good together
being back with Mo and loving her smile and how she wants to be in every picture ever taken
emily's pink pants and crazy attitude towards life that makes me want to laugh and be so spontaneous
that even though i thought the twins hated camp so much, they are so excited to be going back to camp week 1 next year and hope that Jenna and I can be back with them too
Even though I couldn't decide if this trip was the right thing to do. I realized quickly after getting there from the overwhelming hugs, the huge smiles, and fun memories; this was where I was supposed to be on this Friday night. Being with these girls if only for a few short hours showed me that I really did make a difference and they definitely had such a great impact on me at the same time.
