Off to camp

Shelby and I finished packing her bag this morning. We left the house at about 11:30 to head downtown to pick up Todd and then be on our way. It was so crazy and busy around Todd's building right at noon...there were so many people walking everywhere-I was afraid I was going to run someone over in our big beast truck, while trying to figure out where I was going...and all the kids talking. One time when we were circling the block waiting for Todd to come, a bus stopped in front of me-I saw it...we stopped-Stu said, "You almost crashed that bus!!" I did not! They're so helpful.... :-) Todd finally came out and we set out for camp. We filled up the truck, grabbed us some lunch and got on the road. Of course, we had to make a stop for the restroom-it's only a 2 hr drive-we made it at about 2:15. I was so happy about the counselor Shelby got and there was actually a girl in her cabin that she stayed with last year. There were also some little girls from a church by our house that were staying next door-I know all of that made her feel a little better-she was a little nervous. I made her bed and put her stuff away while she went on with the rest of her cabin for orientation. Todd and the other kids took off to the playground. After I finished up, Savannah and I headed up to visit with a friend that I worked with at the camp. We visited for a little while and left around 5.

It was a nice day. Sarah didn't want to go to bed in her own room-she went to sleep w/Stu. I hope Shelby has a good time at camp. The kids were talking about her at bedtime...I'm sure she missed them some, too. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...that's what I'm hoping anyways! They get along okay, but I guess where we are all together 24-7....we get on one another's nerves.....

I got to talk to Amber in Honduras tonight. We always have a good time talking on the phone. She's coming home in September-she's having another baby and they thought it would be for the best if she had the baby here. I am so excited to see them. They're missionaries in Honduras-in case you don't remember me mentioning them before. They've been there almost a year-it will be next month. She is such a good friend to me.

I need to get to bed...everyone else is already asleep and I'm tired. Goodnight!
