That time I left for camp.

Last day at home. Geez. I never thought it would come so fast. I AM NOT PREPARED.

I've said some final goodbyes and nearly lost it every time. Part of that has to do with the fact I'm a woman. Part of it has to do with the fact that I'm slightly over-emotional. And the last part is I'm actually sad to be leaving these people so soon after arriving home from  college. :(

I'm almost all packed (even though I'm certain I'm forgetting everything I'll actually need), have made a final trip to Teavana (YUM.), and will be packing up the caravan tonight to take off tomorrow morning (8 am, oh yeah).

For anyone that's curious from what I got from Teavana for the summer:
Golden Monkey (Black Tea)
Slimful Chocolate Decadence (Oolong Tea)
CocoCaramel Sea Salt (Herbal Tea)
 - Mix this with Golden Monkey and OH MY GOODNESS MOUTH EXPLOSION DELICIOUSNESS
Gyokuro Genmaicha (Green Tea)

Back to the point at hand: leaving for camp.
WHAT. 
How did I get here. 
Where did the time go. 

I remember Dr. Holleman (whose awesome blog you can find HERE) encouraging me to be a counselor and how it remarkably changed her life. I remember getting a call from the director, lovely Kelly, and meeting in Irving's for my interview. I remember signing my contract and couldn't believe I was actually doing this. 

And now I'm here. Tomorrow I will travel to Lynchburg, VA for lunch with one of the girls in the Bible Study I lead at school, and then will spend the night with a friend from Summer Project in Raleigh, NC. Monday will be touring Raleigh, eating yummy noms and then travelling to Hendersonville, NC for the night.

Tuesday morning, bright and early, I'll report to camp! I can't wait to meet all of the other counselors (even though I'm terrified) and getting to know the layout of the camp again! 

I need to learn to say "ya'll", drink sweet tea, and how to rock cowboy boots (I don't even own cowboy boots).
 - none of which I've done before... properly. 

Please be praying for my safe travels, community with the other counselors, and for the campers that will be arriving in a little over a week! Can't wait!
