Well folks, here it is Thursday and we have one day until I will be at Look Up Lodge and you know I have all my bags packed, minus my arts and craft supplies. Hey, ya never know when you might wanna get a little crafty. With today being one day until camp begins a lot of thoughts are running through my mind. I'm pumped to be at LUL but it still doesn't feel like a year has passed since I was there last summer. However, no matter what I do, round two at LUL will begin tomorrow. My last and final reason I am excited for camp to begin-witnessing God moments.
The summer has really great moments as well as moments when you don't think you can work top zip one more humid day. However, it's in these moments where my own strength ends and God's begins. In these God moments it's a great reminder that we can't do the summer alone. If I were to rely on my own strength and understanding of the summer then I would be solely lost and wore out probably the second week. God moments happen through out the summer in the smallest or biggest ways. A lot of times I'll start to doubt whether or not I'm doing all God has called me to do and he gently reminds me I'm his and doing great to keep trucking onward! God moments also happen with campers. Right at the moment you begin to wonder if the kids are actually taking in everything you are saying and then BAM! There it is! A camper reassures you that there is hope.
Since there will be 24 summer staffers including myself arriving at camp tomorrow I ask that you keep us in your prayers. Pray that we focus, and have strength and also work well together as a team. As far as personal prayer requests, pray that I listen to the voice of truth and focus on the task at hand this summer.
I hope that you continue to check out my blog because I will continue to inform you of prayer requests and things going on at camp.
Tomorrow :) When I will be at LUL.

Crazy Little Games...
Two more days. TWO MORE DAYS. I repeat, TWO MORE DAYS!! Oh where oh where has time gone? Seems like yesterday I gathered the idea to start a blog and now.. Well, here we are two days left in the countdown! But the blogging doesn't stop after Friday. (Well for two weeks I will be disconnected, but after that who knows when I'll be back on). Anyways, Reason number two I am excited for camp to start-Crazy games.
By crazy games I mean carpet ball, 9 square, gaga ball, and much more! I don't know what it is but LUL always has the craziest, silliest, funnest little games that you would have never thought about playing. Literally, last summer I tried the entire summer to master 9 square and did I?? Nope. But hey it sure was a fun process along the way. But, as I recall, I think I did get the most improved player. YAY! All that hard work pays off.
But why do I love these games so much? One word: conversation. When I get to play these games I get to talk to campers that are on my team and other teams. This is exciting because I feel like I am able to put myself out there and talk to campers that normally wouldn't say a word. I think it's important to let the campers know hey, I'm not perfect and I don't have all the answers but I am here for you. Wanna play gaga ball? OKAY! Wanna play 9 square? MY FAVORITE! Carpet ball? EVEN BETTER! See? It's just a fun experience being able to play games because it takes the intense week the campers may be having and turns it into a fun little adventure.
Speaking of adventures I'll tell you my adventure with gaga ball and why I am paranoid every time I am around the court. So this one time, last summer during orientation weekend, the year round staff thought it was a great idea to introduce us to the game and actually have us play a round. Harmless right? WRONG. I got hit in the face with the gaga ball, hopped out of the playing area and low and behold the ball hit me again! The ball kept following me everywhere I went it seemed. Pretty crazy, and a little painful but at the end of the day I was A-Okay and still returned as a staffer.
Til Tomorrow when we will have one day more! ahahahahha

And Then There Were Three...
And then there were three days left in our countdown. Hard to believe there are three more days until time to ship off for the camp life. I feel like time is shrinking and my list of things to do is growing. So with today being three days until camp I figured I'd tell you one more thing that makes me super pumped for camp. Reason number 3 I am excited for camp to start-Stories to tell. And what better way than to tell you three funny (at least to me) stories.
1. One time we were so graciously given many many snacks. And by given I mean the campers left them for us at their cabin. Or maybe they accidentally forgot them. Who knows! Anyways, Eleni and I were unloading the stuff out of Ward's car and Eleni and I had our hands full. BUT, the best thing about these snacks is there were yoohoos and this chick LOVES yoohoos. So what do I do? I grab a yoohoo to take with me and stick it in my pocket, straw already poked through the drink. Well, one other snack we had were apples. The funny thing about apples is they are round and roll if you drop them. So, I walked into the bear den, dropped the apples and continued walking when low and behold I rolled my ankle on a dern apple. Cheetos fly through the air, my yoohoo is dripping on the floor, and I'm laughing/crying because of the pain and my clumsy self. Needless to say, that was a very interesting afternoon adventure for me.
2. One time Eleni and I were having a little lady date and decided to go to the mall and Chilis. Pretty simple, right? No. I told Eleni not to bother with the GPS cause I'm from around the area and as many times as I have been to Greenville I surely would know how to get there. Well, about 45 minutes later we are no where near the Greenville mall and Chilis is not insight. As a matter of fact, nothing in the area seemed familiar at all. As we kept driving we began to see a huge inflatable gorilla on top of a car wash and at that point we decided to trust the GPS. Moral of the story, I am not very good with directions no matter how familiar with the area I think I am.
3. One time Lauren Y., Lauren S., and myself were looking for Creepy Curtis and we could not find that fella anywhere. Well we went to run on stage to see if he was there and little did I know the handle to the trap door was sticking straight up. Before I had any reaction time, I ran my toe into the little handle and had to keep running because Creepy Curtis was out there somewhere. Even though we didn't find him on stage, my toe was a-okay! Thank goodness we finally found Creepy Curtis later that day.
And these my friends, are but a snippet of the many stories I have to tell from one year of camp. Imagine how many crazy stories I might have after two summers. Stay tuned for more hilarious stories through out the summer. I'll keep you updated.
Til tomorrow.

Happy Mother's Day!
First off, Happy Mother's Day! Yaya!! I am so excited for all the moms out there. Just to let ya'll know I have the best mom in the world. I honestly have no idea what I would do without that woman! But now that you know about my mom and how wonderful she is, I shall continue. When I go to camp in 4 days (4 DAYS!!) something that will keep me at camp is my mom. Reason number 4 I am ready for camp to start-my mom.
When things get tough at camp (and life in general) I turn to my mother. There were times last year when I was super tired, doubting why I was at LUL, and times when I just needed someone to talk to other than my fellow staffers and my mom was the one I turned to. Once, It had been a very long and hard week and I was so exhausted I had to call my mom about things going on and ended up calling my mom at about 11 o'clock at night. And did she answer?? Of course! She also stayed up for an hour or so, listened to me cry, scream, and frankly she just gave me great advice on how to make it through the rest of the summer. It was incredible. I could not have made it through that night without her. So, I know I can make it through the summer with my mother's support. I just love er! She always offers the best advice and encouragement in times when I need it most. I know I can make it through the summer with my mom's support and encouragement.
Til tomorrow.

P.S. My dad is very supportive too! :)

20ish T-shirts
Reason number 5 why I am ready to go to LUL-T-shirts.
As I was packing yesterday for LUL I realized how many T-shirts I actually take to camp. The what to pack list says 8-10 shirts but I'll be honest... I'm an over packer and I like to have a variety of choices so obviously 8-10 is not enough for this girl. I think it's solid to say I probably have closer to 20ish shirts. But wearing t-shirts during the summer is so much fun! You don't have to worry about if things don't really fit right and you just put a t-shirt on and go! T-shirts can also be great conversation starters with fellow campers and staff members as well. My dear ol friend Miss Eleni was even taking opinions on various t-shirts she had found. Yeah, we take t-shirt picking very seriously! If you are going to be at camp this year you will realize Miss Eleni has some of the best t-shirts including her new addition to the collection. But t-shirts are really awesome because they say a lot about a person. For example, I am in ADPI and low and behold I never realized how many t-shirts I had with ADPI on them until I started packing. I guess I will be repping my sorority this year! T-shirts are so cool groups even gave some to their summer staffers. I was super excited! Nothing screams college kid than getting excited over free t-shirts or free food!
Til tomorrow!

Every Starry Night, it was His Design
Well hello fellow reader! As you know today we have six days until camp starts. The closer we get the more butterflies I get in my stomach and the shakier my hands become while typing. I know this summer is going to go great but there are still small things that even makes a returner nervous. For me, I feel like the experience might increase but the nervousness never goes away. I digress, reason number 6 I am ready for the camp life to begin-The orchard.
To me the most beautiful place is the orchard, day or night. If you were a camper last year you know a little something about climbing the orchard hill. Last year boys had to carry rocks up one of the toughest hills LUL has to offer. Girls had to just walk up the hill and for me that was more than enough. Now obviously I never accompanied the boys up the hill but I did walk along side with our girl campers. Starting out wasn't so bad. You had a slight incline and you could still talk to your campers. However, once you got about midway you felt like you were climbing Mt. Everest... It felt like it went straight up and I told campers I'm sorry if I quit speaking but man, this is taking a lot of the air out of me! Once we made it to the top, everyone was always just so tired they could crash down right where we stood, but we kept hiking more to the very top of orchard hill where the view is breathtaking. The sun would be beaming down on all of us and we'd be sweating, hungry and tired, yet I would look around at the view and say man, so worth it!
Not even going to lie, one night we went to the orchard to star gaze and I never thought I could fall in love with nature but that night I believe I did. It's crazy to see how amazing a view like that is. It blows my mind that God was so creative and had a designers hand. When I have moments like this I can't help but think, okay God, I am tired and not feeling well. I feel like I have ran a marathon and I don't know how much more love is left to give to the campers. BUT you are so good. As long as I have you by my side I know these campers will have more than enough and I will fulfill what you have called me to do this summer.
Til tomorrow when we will have five whole days to LUL! It's crazy cool and I can't wait! :)

Why was 6 afraid of 7? Cause 7, 8, 9!
Okay. So yesterday we had 8 days left in our countdown. WHAT??!! Where oh where has the time gone?? I have no idea but LUL is quickly approaching. But what makes it even better is today we have SEVEN days! SEVEN DAYS!! AHHH! Well, instead of being all blah blah blah, since I missed a day (oops, again) I'll go ahead and get to the point.
Reason number 8 I'm ready for camp to start-laughter. Whether it's the laughs exchanged between fellow summer staffers and myself or seeing my campers laugh because for once in their little lives they are out in the great outdoors and they're really not sure how to take it. LUL is known for it's laughter. I mean everything we do is aimed to make others laugh! Well, sorta. I mean think about it. Skits, silly songs, high-fives, and I think it is in the contract that you have to be a funny person in able to work at LUL because the staff is so hilarious! Now of course we don't really laugh during Greg's teachings.. That's kinda serious business and that's okay. We'd really have you pay attention and gather the information versus laughing uncontrollably. I mean you are there to grow in your relationship with God and that's a big deal.
Reason number 7 I'm ready for camp to start-New staff. I'm not sure whether I am able to say or not but we may or may not have someone new working for LUL this summer and I am pumped! Don't worry, our camp is going to be in good hands and you may make a new friend :).
Til tomorrow! (If I don't forget)

Unpacked and Ready to Pack
9 more days... I repeat: 9 MORE DAYS! Whoa... We started with 27ish days and now, well, here we are! Already in the single digits and I can't stand it. It's still a week away but I can't help but find myself packing already. Reason number 9 I am excited for LUL to begin: Packing.
Granted, I do not like packing up to leave a place but I love to pack to go somewhere. It's so exciting and a form of organization and I love organizing! (I'm weird like that...) When I get to pack to go somewhere else there is always a sense of the unknown and the excitement of something new. The unknown: How is the summer going to be? Who is my AP? What will we be teaching? Will my skit ideas be funny to someone other than Tracy and myself? Something new: The summer! The RoHo! New staffers! Wow. Even though I am a returner there is still a lot of new things to happen and I couldn't be more happier. I love changing things up and always doing things differently.
As I write this, I actually do not even have the packing list and it's driving me crazy! Thanks to my good ol pal Laners (some of you may know her from the cow team last year), I now have the what to pack list and have to get to it. Have a great night! Hope all is well and things are going smoothly as final exams are underway, the school year is ending, and summer fever has set in.
Til tomorrow.

B- in Zoology
TEN MORE DAYS!!! Oh my gosh... How crazy it seems to say hey, i'll be at LUL in ten days!!! Well, I have some rather great news I'd like to share... I received a B- in Zoology. Hip-hip hooray! Now, this course has been so much work. I have had to memorize countless note cards, dissect creatures that were quite interesting to say the least, and I also developed a relationship with Wilbert James Hughes (he was my fetal pig for our final dissection). My first test was a 49 and at that moment I seriously said what have I gotten myself into??? I really worked my butt off studying from that day on. I mean staying up til 2-3 am. just to studying for this one class and that's late for this chick. When time to take the final came, I walked in the classroom, gave it my best, found out I had made a 77 on my final lab practical and was sure all my hard work and long nights in the library wouldn't pay off. BUT, you see, I did indeed receive that B-. Yes sir!
Why am I telling you this story?? Well, because I am SUPER pumped, but more importantly because the summer time is much like Zoology. At times I may ask myself, why did God bring me back here to camp? Can I really do this again? I'll have to memorize lessons, rules, and "what to do in case of an emergency plans". I'm pretty sure the first time around I won't get the memory maker right and there are going to be times when I completely slip up. But, with a lot of prayers from my supporters, encouragement, and one on one time with God, all the hard work will pay off for the summer. Yes, I'll remember working super hard in zoology and the long hours, but in the end I can honestly say I worked super hard and received the grade I wanted. The same goes for the summer. The outcome on the summer is totally up to the amount of work I put into it. If I want the campers to end with a crappy week, it'll be because I didn't give it my all. If I want the campers to have the best week ever, it'll be because I worked my but off through tired eyes and exhausted brain. Colossians 3:23-24 says: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." And the Lord Christ I will try my best to serve this summer.
Reason number 10 I am excited for camp to start-Hard work pays off.

Cool People are Cool People
Hello people who follow my blog! You know what? I am so grateful and thankful for the awesome people in my life. Today as I was grabbing lunch with some sisters in my sorority, I began to think... I am a very lucky person. I have great company. Not only at lunch but in my day to day life. This year I have met so many fabulous people and developed deeper relationships with my already existing friends. So shout out to cool people in life! I'd hate to know I had to go through life by myself... Don't get me wrong, a little peace and quite is great but forever?? I mean FOREVER?!?! No. Not for me. I'm more of a "give me a room full of strangers and let the awkward convos begin" kind of person. So reason number 11 I am excited for camp to begin?? Well, I know you are all so impatient and just bursting at the seems to know so here it is... Good company.
"A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company." Charles Hughes. (To read more cool quotes on good company click Here.)
I believe Mr. Hughes was correct. If you have to live with yourself and live life, why not do it in the midst of great company?? Great company can make the difference in a good time and a great time. Think about it... That one time you stayed up late with a partner from school working on a project wasn't the best of times. BUT, that one time you stayed up super late getting into mischief with your BFF?? GREAT time. This summer I will be working my bum off day and sometimes night. There will be hard and challenging times, but I know as long as I have my fellow summer staffers and the rest of LUL staff by my side, I'll be in good company. Things won't seem as bad as long as I am surrounded by good company.On off days, I won't be bored because I will be surrounded by good company. And I so can not wait to make many awesome memories with the cool people God has placed into my life this summer.
Cool people are cool people. And I love cool people.
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya!Tomorrow, you're only a day away!

I Run Marathons... Movie, Marathons that is.
So today is the last Saturday my roommates and I will be spending together. :( Sad face. Needless to say all three of us wanted to do something excited. So what would that be you may ask?? Well, because of Amber's obsession with the Twilight Saga, we are watching all the movies in one day, Which we have already done once this semester. But hey, it's always fun being lazy, eating pizza and painting nails. With today panning out quite nicely, I can't help but look forward to movie nights with my fellow summer staffers. Reason number 12 I am excited for camp-Movie nights.
I know what you are thinking, how on earth do you manage to be the best summer staffers ever and get rest and keep in touch with parents and have movie nights?!? Well, we don't. Movie nights are on off days and normally consists of us coming together, so excited to just sit around and do nothing, and we all end up falling asleep. For example, last summer we began to watch the Princess and the Frog. Sounds like a great movie, right? Well I wouldn't know because I knocked out about ten minutes into the movie. Oops.
However, on the rare occasion we all stayed awake and actually watched a movie, it was honestly a great time. Movie nights were always a great time to bond and just sit around and do nothing. With girls, it was always a chick-flick comedy and for some reason with the guys it was The Patriot. Nothing makes you more proud of being an American that watching that movie.
Well, on that note, I'm proud to be an American and I hope you are too!
Til tomorrow!

Girly Girl
Thirteen days... I repeat THIRTEEN DAYS!!! How banaycray is that?? We are almost in the single digits with our countdown and I can hardly believe it. Each day brings be to reason number 13 I am excited for camp to begin... no makeup!
Don't get me wrong, I am as girly as girly gets, but last year I totally fell in love walking around camp with no makeup on and being okay with it. I didn't realize how attached I was to makeup until I realized how naked I felt without it. But hey, three months without wearing a whole lot of makeup will change a girl-for the better. Now, I am a okay to wear makeup (Cause it's always great to get all dolled up and go out for the night) and I am a okay without wearing makeup.
Well, today's blog was short, simple, to the point and also later than usual but hey, better late than never!
Tomorrow will come quicker than we think... And then there shall be 12 days and we shall be one day closer to Look Up!!!! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Home is Where the Heart is
Day 14. Wow. Where has time gone?? It's been pretty crazy. I guess you could say we started at the bottom now we're here. (aha!) But seriously, today I am excited for camp to start because working at LUL is more than a job (as I have said before), it's more like a second home away from home. Reason number 14 I am excited for camp to start-It's my home away from home.
As cliche as it may seem to some, LUL really is my second home. I have 23 other brothers and sisters (yeah, we are a big family), and we always have the best times together. We help each other get through the hard times of camp and rejoice with each other when something amazing happens that just blows our minds. Not only that, but we actually hang out and watch movies. Be jealous. Oh and make Cook Out runs. YAY! All this to say, I really honestly do love and care for the staffers at camp because they're like my family.
Today's is a little short because I have an exam... at 11:30. And I am kinda winging it. Hey, it's speech so I think I've got the talking thing down. Wish me luck!
Tomorrow, once more.
