Too Hott to Handle

Beach Camp 2013!

Where I'm going to be until the 5th!

Yay. I am so excited. Like so so so so excited. 

I am always excited for beach camp but this year I am extra excited for a few reasons. 

First reason - I was told that I wasn't going to be able to go because there were too many leaders signed up for the girls. And that made me really sad. Cause like I have been going to beach camp since 2009 and I love beach camp. And I have been waiting all summer for this. And now I get to go and it made me so so happy when I found out I was back on as a leader. I may or may not have cried a little when they told me I couldn't go so ya. I love this camp.

Secondly - The interns that are going to be on the trip. This year we have a girl intern at our church. And she is 19 too. And she is kind of perfect and I think we are going to be really good friends by the time we get back from Cali. 

Thirdly - Worshiping on the bluffs at Point Loma is possibly one of the most beautiful things I have experienced in my life. And the past two years we didn't go to Point Loma so I'm so excited to go back. 

This is our view while worshiping + our youth pastor 

What is beach camp? It's my church's high school summer camp. We go to a Christian college in California and we spend the week growing closer to each other and to God. And it is a total life changing experience every time I go.

The leaders 

Last year we didn't go to beach camp. We went to IYC instead and OMG it was so amazing. We are going again next year and it will be in Nashville and I am so excited to go there. 

Last year was also my first year as a leader and a lot of learning was done. Mainly learning that its hard for the students to see me as a leader because I had gone through youth group with them. And hopefully I can be seen as a leader soonly.

The Worship Project

I am so ready for whatever the week is going to bring to me. I know amazing things are going to happen. 

I can't believe how much I have grown in the span of these pictures. I didn't realize before how much older I actually look now. But I must say I am an entirely different person from the first camp to the most recent camp. And even from 2012-2013 I feel like I am a different person.

Things that need appreciating

So I was thinking about all the things that have been annoying me lately. And the things I really don't appreciate. And that got me thinking. I should really try to appreciate little things more when they are working properly and forget about being me just being mad at them when they aren't working properly.  

So heres just a few things that I decided don't get appreciated enough.

Seals on fridges/freezers that keep the door shut - this is what got me thinking about this. I  am so mad at our fridge. Its one of those stacked ones so its the fridge on top and freezer on bottom. And every time you open and then close the fridge door the freezer door opens a little bit and then 30 seconds later you hear the door beep at you cause its been open for too long. But you can't remember to shut the freezer every time you open the fridge! I am so over walking back to the kitchen when I'm in my room just to shut a door that I didn't even open!!!
But I'm not mad at it. I just appreciate a door that works properly...

Sleep timers on televisions
The little plastic things on the ends of bobby pins
Having something to rest your arm on while you are driving 
The little glue thing that keeps hair ties together
Spoons that don't have a owies on them from getting stuck in the garbage disposal while its on.
Doors that don't bounce open when you shut them. 
Clocks that aren't 10 minutes fast because they go a minute faster about every month 
Dogs that don't growl at you when you try to cuddle with them
Leg hairs that aren't ingrown hairs 
Mailmans that pick up your mail from your mail box when you put the red flag up 
Fruits that don't go bad before you eat them


Thats all for now. 

But I think we should all try harder to appreciate little things instead of being flustered at little things
I think the world would be a much happier place if we did so. 

Where I Work Wednesday!

This is Roo. I call him Roo Roo. He is my best friend at work. He isn't my all time favorite little dog at work (you will meet her later). But Roo is there everyday. Maybe if he wasn't there all the time he'd be my favorite cause I'd miss him more. But anyways.

 I actually did not like Roo one bit when I first started working there. I felt really bad for his sister for having to live Roo cause she was so sweet and he was such a brat. But my manager at the time I got hired told me to pay more attention to the dogs you don't like then the dogs you do like. Mainly because there was probably a reason you didn't like the dog i.e the barked too much and you couldn't get them to stop (that's what Roo did). 

So I payed attention to him. An figured out how to get him to stop barking. And once I did that I realized that he had a lot of cute characteristics (: 

And I also realized his sister is the real brat. She just wears a "I'm totally cute and innocent" facade. 

Roo likes when I blow in his face. He rubs his face up against my leg and rolls onto his back and it's so adorable. 

So that's my bestie. He's a little stink but he's my stink.
