Rockclimbing wall!

I refuse to get sentimental...

This is my last week and i plan on just rollin into the RA thing at TFC without one single stupid little tear. That's why i'm procrastinating on writing the Koreans the letter im going to give them along witht the picture album and shell cross i made. Im also trying not to take too many pictures. Once i start i feel like if i dont get a picture of everything it's the end of the world. Silly. 

So this is going to be a 'in the moment' post and not a 'this has been a wonderful summer..sniff..tear..' post, k?

Tomorrow my groupies and i are going to build a rock climbing wall! How fantastic is that? We finished the monkey bars and ladder for the fort today and we almost have the rest of the fort finished. We also have one of the two swing sets almost completely built. Don't worry, I will get pictures. 

I will head straight to Toccoa on Sunday from MB... tell me about it.

Love!

boiled peanuts and choco-toffee coffee


Sitting at the Chesterfield again waiting on my last group of campers.. yeh I said that last time, but remember my last post? I get one more group and we are going to build a surprise playground for the Koreans!!! Im still trying to figure out how to split up the projects for my campers, but im sure when I meet them all ill know where they fit. We finished up worksites this past weekend and Matt helped me practice my “skilsaw skills”. (I liked that too.) We finished roofing a house, scraping tar and repainting a house, and doing some little painting and railing at the Waccamma boy’s home. It was hard work, but I love getting a little painty and dirty.


Something I don’t love as much: getting into accidents. Yes. This morning Emily, Noah, Gus, and I had the grand idea of doing our laundry at the mat before church. It was raining and S. Kings Ave. was flooding. There’s too much detail to be interesting, but basically I got into a fender bender and the side of my car isn’t too pretty. That’s the facts. Talking about it too much makes me a little queasy.


Some fun facts: Jack just gave me boiled peanuts and I made some chocolate toffee coffee. I also finished my book “So long insecurity” by Beth Moore. I always feel a little embarrassed telling people that I’m reading that and it makes me feel a tad better just to say that. So now that it’s out I going to tell you that you should read it. No, it wasn’t a self-help book. (as if you’re arguing with me) It was just wonderful and friendly written. I love how she writes like she talks. It’s like one side of a conversation. I highly recommend it whether you struggle with insecurity or not (I think everyone does a little), but it’s definitely a girl’s read.


So that leads me to another paragraph: Does anyone have any book suggestions? I know you guys read because you’re reading this (clever!) I would love novel suggestions (in the unique sense and in the type of book sense). 


Letteth me knoweth!

All of you are wonderful human beings.

Love.
