BLYC- best thing in the world!

hey everyone!

well its the first wednesday of camp! pretty cool. having lots an lots of fun! the kids are pretty awesome, they love me an jess for our aussie accents! lol.

starting to get into my job. has been a bit stressful lately...erin an i have been making the staff trading cards, which we're hoping to have in store by the end of the week! (fingers crossed!) but we will see! this first week will be the hardest i think as everyone figures out how to do things and gets into a system! dustin, erin an i (all the media people) are all rookies, but were having fun, so thats ok!

had my day off yesterday. was so much fun! went into town with christina, christina an shanda. just had a girls day out, shopping, coffee, dinner an just having a good time! was the best time! (my day off is still goin...i dont have to be anywhere till 9 so i just thought that id write a blog up for yall before goin for a run. im telling you, i really need to stop eating baker johns food otherwise ill blow up like a balloon!!! hehe

im really really loving it here...everyone is just so so nice, and theirs somthing else here that is so cool that everyone has, like a purpose to everything, an a reason for being. and the fact that we are all here for one specific reason is just so awesome. the kids are really really lucky to have a staff team like this!

well id better run! (literally!) so that my clothes will actually fit me! hehe,
