november 2nd & 3rd

You know those weekends where you go into the week just being filled with so much happiness and just filling full?   Well I just had one of those weekends.  Camp always seems to do that to me and that is why I am so thankful for all camp has done in my life.

1. Riley - I'm thankful for his energy, his consistent love of others and of life, and the way he can always make me smile.  I appreciate his openness and the way he is so excited about everything.
2. Katherine - I feel blessed to continue to learn more about her and what drives her.  I appreciated the laughs and the hugs this weekend.
3. Renee - It is always great to talk with a fellow teacher and know that it is ok to seem a little overwhelmed.  I liked hearing her comforting words and just being able to catch up on her life and talk like its the summer again.
4. Sophie - that girl!  I felt so lucky to be friends with little Soph this weekend.  She is such a ball of energy, so full of life, so very caring, and such an amazing friend.  I'm so happy to get to hear about what she is learning about in school and about her best friends.  I'm glad we got  to be afraid of spiders (and Brad) together.   That we got to eat secret bathroom mints and share a blanket on the way home.  She made my heart smile to get to be a counselor again. I hope we can continue to be friends.  Miss her already.
5. Brad - Man, Brad is the best, really really.  We just are so happy to be together.  I am so lucky to have a friend as great as him.  It's the kind of friendship where we don't have to say anything, but just know exactly what each other is thinking.  I missed all the laughs we had together.  The goofy-ness and the real conversations.   I hope we will get to hang out again soon!
6. Katrina - Basically I just want to be her when I grow up.  I love her passion for everyone and everything.  Her honesty, and how real she is with everyone.  She is so funny and such a great mom to her own kids and to us!  I appreciate that she goes after what she wants and does it with everything that she has.  I'm thankful that I got to be with her for the weekend!
