Camp and Stuff

I'm now living on top of a mountain for about the next 63 days. We're on day 2 of staff orientation, and it's going pretty well. I'm kind of home sick and I miss John and my family a lot.
I guess I'll back track a little bit: Thursday night John came down to stay until Saturday, which is when I left to come up to Horton Center. Friday morning we had to get up early and chaperone a trip to Canobie Lake Park with some of his sixth graders. Two of them walked around with us for most of the day, and they were hysterical. They were convinced my name is Sally, and that John and I were married. Well... he and I TOTALLY missed something if we are! Anyway, that night we got home, Janelle came over for a little bit, then my parents left to go to my aunts cottage in Alstead and John and I took my grandparents back to their apartment, and we visited with them there for a little bit. Saturday we spent the day getting me ready for camp. I was going to try and leave between 3 and 4 and I got out the door at about 5:30 or so. I got here Saturday night, unpacked and crashed, pretty much. Sunday I called my dad to wish him a happy fathers day, then we had a bunch of orientation stuff and what not. Today it's been pretty much the same. I'm on duty for Vespers tonight, I get to help plan the 1/2 hour worship service for the evening. That should be good. I'm working on that with Sadie and Kate. I'm hoping that will help me with my homesickness and the feeling of needing to cry every 10 minutes.
Anyway, that's about it for the day. I've got to get off the computer so the next person can use it. Everyone drop me LOTS of e-mails!!!
Peace!

Okay, I'm FINALLY getting around to updating this thing now! :-) Sorry to those who have been waiting DAYS for this ;-)
So this past weekend was great - John came down on Friday and stayed until Monday morning. We played my dad in tennis on Friday evening, and I STILL got my butt kicked! We played Canadian Doubles, and my dad still managed to beat us both, even though he is older than John and my ages combined! Oh well... one of these days I'll get a winning set under my belt. Saturday I took John over to Keene and we just bopped around the city for a little while, then had a late lunch at Margaritas. Then Sunday we went to church that morning - Katie got confirmed, YAY! That afternoon we played tennis again (yes, I STILL lost!) and then got together with Theresa and Chris to go to Kimballs for ice cream! YUM! :-) It was so fun! We sat on the hill across the street from Kimballs while we ate our ice creams. Then Chris kept stealing Theresas shoes and she kept chasing him all over the hill to get them back - it was so funny! They are so cute together. Monday morning John had to leave to go to work, and then he went home from there. It was sad to have him leave, but I get to see him again tomorrow! Yay! I can't believe he and I have been dating for 2 months already... It's gone by so fast! Not that I'm complaining ;-) It's been a great 2 months!
So I've spent most of today getting ready for heading up to Horton Center on Saturday. If I didn't give you my summer info and you want it, drop me an e-mail or an IM or something. If you don't have either of those... oh well, you don't get to talk to me until the fall! :-) I had to get some stuff in Keene today, but I think I'm just about set. I just need to dig out my duffle bags so I can start packing... I should be able to get everything that's going into two large duffle bags, and a small one, or maybe a backpack. I just can't seem to get myself motivated to pack though... I started packing today, but I just can't seem to get myself going. I'm kinda nervous about being up there for the summer, I'm just afraid I'm going to be a sucky staff member. And I will be if I don't go and re-read the curriculum, so I should be heading out. Happy trails all!

Weekends are so great!

I just got in from a weekend with my favorite person, and I had so much fun! Friday late afternoon I got to Johns house and we pretty much just hung out for the night. He bought LOTR:ROTK so we watched that (even though we both saw it in the theater). Then Saturday he had to teach a lesson (or so we THOUGHT) and I had to go pick up a song book from Brian. It was nice to see him and Hannah and their baby Ethan over the weekend. I can't believe Ethan is going to be 6 months old this week! Anyway, when I got to the PCAC, John was just out wandering in the hallway, because, apparently, the person he was supposed to give the lesson to went on a camping trip for the weekend. Oops! Oh well. After that, we played tennis, and I totally got my butt kicked (as usual!), 6-1, 6-1. I wasn't playing my best that day anyway. We went back to his house and had lunch, then that night we went to see the 3rd Harry Potter movie. It was awesome! I loved it, and they did a great job with the story... I still think I like the book better in that one though. The 3rd is very complex towards the end, so it got a little confusing in the end of the movie. Anywho, Sunday we slept in, and then went to mass in Durham (Yes, I went to a Catholic mass AGAIN, and I STILL am alive to tell about it!!!), so that was good. That afternoon we were going to play tennis with his friend Aaron, but the weather was kind of iffy so we all opted out. Then he and I were going to go to the playground and let loose our inner children, but by the time we got out to go to the car, it was raining... so much for that idea! So then we just layed around on the couch and talked about all sorts of stuff, then we played video games on his computer. I'm still not much good at video games... I need to get a new controller for my computer so I can practice up! Anyone have a gamepad that connects to a USB port they would like to donate to the less fortunate? :-)
I stayed again Sunday night because I had a doctors appointment in Bedford this morning, and I could go right by it on my way home, so it made life a little easier. Plus it was nice to get to have the extra time together. Things are going wonderfully and my parents think very highly of John. Theresa says that my mom won't stop talking about him at work, so I think that's a good sign :-)
Okay, it's time for lunch. I semi-bailed on breakfast this morning so I am starving!!
Peace!!
