Living the good life!

It has been awhile since I last posted! A lot has happened! I had a weekend off and we went to a Atlanta braves game. My first ever major leauge baseball game and it was a ton of fun! Patrick(Colorado), Brandon(Michigan), Luke(Illinois), Thomas(year long from last year from Virgina), Octavia(Flordia) and I all went. It was a great time! The week was just like any other working and hanging out. During the week we had our usual intern time where we finished sharing our life stories. Also one night during the week we all listened to a Sermon online and had some great conversation which was probably the highlight of my week.

This past weekend we had a group of 1,000 people stay here!! Our camp only holds about 650 with mattresses on the floor. We used this camp called grandview salvation army camp and we had buses shuttle campers to and from the dorms at the grandview camp. The camp is literally just outside our driveway which is about 2 miles long and winedy! The buses have to go super slow and no one else is allowed on the drive way except one bus at a time! Camp went great for meal times they came in sessions. They had 3 sessions, 4 if you want to count work crew lunch as a session. The kitchen crew did a great job! It was a lot to cook all at once and tipically we ask to have 1 work crew person for every 10 people.  This work crew was incrdibly small they only had 1 person for every 22 people! But the kitchen crew handled it magnificently! Everyone was fed in a timely manner camp ran so smooth it was such a blessing from God and answered prayers! I had the day off the group was here and I ended up going to take my practical exam from national registry which I PASSED!! After my test I headed back to witness the amazing weekend of camp! The only down side to such a large group is the turnover. We had to clean the entire camp not just a few cabins, but we did it!! Now we get to do it all over again next weekend!! The second half of the group is coming this next weekend. I am defineatly living the good life here at camp! Recently my days off have been work a day, off a day ect. which is nice! I am hoping to post some more pictures soon!

First weekend off!

This week was long.... We had a group of crazy kids some of which had a soda and lotion fight in a cabin which we had to clean up and the entire week the camp had trash all over! On the bright side, the kids cleaned up the camp well and made out job easier at the end of the week. It was very much a high stress week, but luckily we get the weekend off to enjoy. All of the girls either went home or to visit some friends. One of the guys went home for the weekend and the other went to TN to go to a football game. So Patrick, Brandon, Luke and I are chilling at camp for the weekend. Last night we enjoyed the Pickens younglife tailgate and football game. After the first quarter we headed to Race Track a gas station that has awesome fountain drinks for those of us who actually drink them. I had a great time!! Last night I had about 12 hours of sleep which was magnificent!! Today I did a couple loads of laundry and met up with the guys to play some 2 on 2 sand volleyball, sadly it started to rain so we headed to the gym to play some bball. Currently we are watching the Michigan football game and we are planning to go to Anne's wedding shower and possibly go to the look out if it is clear to see if we can see Atlanta! I am looking forward to this coming week I feel like after a nice break that we will all have our minds set on the right thing and can be more efficient. I am working on how to add pictures. Here is one of camp!

Jason's Visit

Hey everyone! So it has been awhile. I have been keeping super busy! camp is still in peek season so we have campers almost everyday of the week and we turn over the camp at least 3 or 4 times a week. Cleaning is a lot of fun when your doing it with a bunch of amazing people! This weekend Jason (my brother) was here because hurricane Earl was coming and I am the closest relative. He arrived Thursday night and slept up at Cherokee with all the guy interns. The next day not much was planned at camp, just turnover, so he headed on up to see my family up in Chattanooga about a 2 hr drive. He stayed up there till the next morning when he came back to camp and helped me and Brandon with the laundry before lunch and he enjoyed free time and doing all the the rides such as the climbing wall, quantum leap etc. He also got to see club and enjoyed work crew lunches with me! On Saturday evening after work we headed to the Hornaday's house where I was dog sitting and we had a little get together to watch the LSU game! It was a great time and the dog was incredibly good and super cute!!  It was a fabulous weekend! Luckily next weekend all the interns are off! I am still not sure what I am doing, but whatever it is I am sure it will be fun!
