Camp Chof Overview

(Beth and I forget her name were included in this picture even though they were on the staff, but they pretty much lived with us because they were Mindy's friends)

Well I'm back! Camp was pretty fun even though if I hadn't known before that it was a Baptist church camp I wouldn't have been able to figure that out except for the messages. Of course other than the messages I wouldn't have thought that it was a church camp at all, but that is a whole other story in itself.

There were 10 people in my cabin including me: Mindy ( our counselor), Katie Dickerson (Matt's girlfriend :), Kayti Sayer (my free ride), Nicole (goes to NBBC), Kara (also goes to NBBC and reminds me of Kelston except for she's a lot nicer not that Kelston isn't nice but Kara was in her own league), Your's truly :D, Jordan (she was nice and very competitive), Kaili (nice also but boy-oriented or at least one boy), Sam (quieter than the others but still one of the quadruplets), and Anna (very unique and very worried about having to go to juvie because of a car accident where she accidentally hit a motorcyclists and he died).




By the way I joined a gang, and I happen to think that we are pretty cool.
Here's us doing our gang sign. Jeffrey wasn't supposed to be in it.(I didn't take any of these pics)


I was also told that if it had been a Southern Baptist camp it would've been less colorful in many ways.

All in all my favorite part of camp was the watermelon game where you pretty much wrestle a watermelon to the other team's side of the pool without drowning (no one got seriously injured but wow was there a lot of hate!)

Tell you guys more later!

SHOPPING!!!

Today I'm going thrift store shopping with the my mom, Mrs. Sayer, and Kayti. We're getting ready for the church camp that I'm going to with Kayti(Collision Camp in Camp Chof). Mr. Sayer is a veteran so his kids get in free and they are allowed to bring a friend for free!

We had our pictures taken a couple of days ago with Sam, and I actually liked the picture!!! That's a first cause I usually hate my pics (I'm not very photogenic). Grandpa Merringer took us out to eat afterwards to what he and grandma called a smorgasbord aka Sally's Buffet just outside of the Indian Mound Mall (at least I think that's which one it was it was the mall in Newark). Some of their food tasted delis, but some of it didn't taste so great. It mostly tasted good though[I especially liked the m&m's they had for their ice cream (I unfortunately didn't have any of that:'( )] and I had a really good time.

I still hate running, but I'm obviously still alive so yeah. Lately, I've been trying to blackmail mom into letting me have ice cream by saying if she does certain stuff that she shouldn't that she'll have to buy me ice cream. Unfortunately, this is working very well for her, and she is behaving herself while I am going crazy from lack of ice cream during the summer (yes, I realize we just had a party a couple of days ago with ice cream- which happened to taste very good :D- but that was a while ago and by the time I'm allowed to eat ice cream again I will get it once and be fine so please don't worry about me perishing from an overdose on lactose- hey that rhymes!!! I'm a poet and didn't even know it!- I'll be fine- wow this is a really long parenthesis thingy).

I can't believe I wrote this much so see ya later!

Not gut

1. My leg is sore.
2. I am grumpy and tired.
3. I don't want to do the exercising Mrs. Dempsey said to do.
4. I hate running and don't want to be told to do it or any other form of exercise.
5. My mom won't let me eat sweets until I start exercising.
6. I was nice to my cat and let her sleep on my bed. The favor was returned by her waking me up at 5:30 in the morning. (I locked her out of my room and ignored her until about a half an hour ago)
Conclusion:
This is gonna be a great day.

Graduations and the Weather

Yesterday, I went to Matt and Chase's graduation. Let me tell you I didn't realize that Mrs. Harshbarger and Matt were so emotional! I can understand, but since I've never been to a graduation before this one I didn't really realize what was going on. Lauren is graduating in one day. ONE DAY!!!! then I will have another cousing graduated (I don't really count the other 2 though cause I never see them) I feel really special when I remember that I am the second oldest girl cousin though cause it makes me feel like I'm gonna be graduating soon- which I'm not since in a few days I'll only be a sophmore but watev.

Lets just put it likes this I love subway! It takes good and is healthy and it smells good too.

O yeah question of the day: Why do mosquito bites by your eyes make your eyes swell up but they don't really do anything anywhere else?

O yeah it's really hot- if I said that at school everyone would be a little bit happy cause the school is freezing which is a good thing now that I think about it but not so good since most people wear sweaters and sweatshirts when it feels like summer.

Talk to ya later

Exams, Annoying Cats, and Prayer Request

Well I was so excited this morning that I could sleep in since I was exempt(that word makes me feel really smart:) from all my exams, but Sweetie had a different idea for what I could do in the morning. I ended up waking up an hour and 45 mins earlier than normal. I then locked Sweetie in the basement, and I went back to bed. At the normal time for us to wake up Sweetie was set free, and I was again tormented by that poor hungry cat that couldn't wait until a decent hour in the morning to eat! I ended up feeding her while everyone else was getting ready for the day, and she was happy and has left me alone to enjoy my morning.

Please pass the word around to pray for a girl named Emilie that has started to come to youth group. She and her family have a lot of issues and she is having trouble coping. Thanks!

O yeah P.S. Lauren graduates in a couple of days! Thats just crazy!

ouch!

Earlier today I was going downstairs and Sweetie must've spilled her water cause my left foot(luckily) landed in it and i completely wiped out. My right knee and toes took most of the so I'm fine but it was really close to hitting my bad knee into the floor which would of hurt a lot.
A few minutes ago I was taking the trash out and forgot to move my head and hit myself in the head with the door going to the garage so that felt good.
Overall it's been a pretty good albeit painful day today though :)
talk to ya later!
