Expanding the Family...

We are excited to announce the fact that we are going to be adding to our family. I am due mid-end of February. On top of this, Carrie and Dan are also expecting right around the same time. A lot of excitement at this time in our lives!! We found out the day after Father's Day. Thankfully I have not had any sickness at all. I prayed that if the Lord allowed me to be expecting during camp that I would be able to hide it. The hardest thing to do was hide the fact by my facial expressions when people would make comments. Anyway, we are blessed and trust the Lord that things will go well--this child is His first and foremost.

We are settling into life again. Catching up on laundry--we always wash everything since it smells like camp, clean or dirty. Well, I just heard some thunder, so I am going to run. God is so good!!

16 Hours of Waiting...

We left camp at 4:45 this morning. Our flight leaves at 10:40 tonight, so needless to say it has been a long day. However, we are thrilled to be heading home! We are excited to get back to family, church, work and a regular routine. And especially FRESH vegetables. Just have to say that we were in a Verizon store today in Tempe for 2 hours--I almost want to change phone providers they were highly unprofessional. A lot can be learned from observation. Right now there are only 5 of us waiting for our flight, and we board in an hour. Hopefully connections are on the way in, or maybe we will have a ton of room. I am tired of CNN over and over--they have to be absolutely the MOST liberal of any news out there. I am glad to know the Lord is in control of who wins this next election. I am not worried!! Well, Lord willing, we will arrive home in the morning!

An update a little late and not too detailed...

Well, now that we are on our way back from Canada, and 6 weeks of camp are past, it might be time for me to post my camp update. We have had a wonderful summer traveling with 22 other staff, and believe it or not, we have not had any major problems. This year's traveling was the best ever--no flat tires, however the price of gas has not been too friendly. SC we are ready to get back!

We had several weeks of camp in AZ and then drove to Alberta where we did a teen week and a junior week. Those two weeks of camp were wonderful. Matt and I enjoyed a night at the Chateau on Lake Louise the end of this week. We also met up with Grammie Campbell and had a wonderful time visiting Moraine Lake. Once I get pictures downloaded I will post one that Matt took that is absolutely gorgeous.

It has been a blast having Alli and Sarah around. I am going miss them when they decide to move on. We will have a couple weeks to regroup before heading back to work. Hopefully my blogging will improve!!

Keeping Up...

We have been spending the week with Matt's grandmother in Pensacola, FL, and one thing that has impressed me about Grandmother is her diary keeping over the years. In fact, she said that when she wants to remember certain details from trips, she can go back to those diaries and unfold the experience. It is with that in mind, that I have decided to do something not only to help me remember things I don't want to forget, but also to help me try to keep friends and family up to date on our lives. Hopefully this will be a tool to help me do just that!

This summer we will will head out to AZ for camp and then on to Calgary before we head back to Greenville for the school year. I will do my best to post here as often as possible and hope that you will enjoy keeping up with us just a little. We are excited about all that the Lord is doing as He guides and directs us one day at a time. Shortly I will post a camp update.
