Pie Love You

I’ve realized that life in Ebeye is a whole lot more interesting than life at home. I love being home, but I don’t have much to report on anymore. I’m taking 8 hours over June and July, so I’m pretty busy with homework and sleeping in. :) The last few days my dad has been working on a concrete floor job about an hour and half away. Let me tell you, that stuff is hard work! I went with him a couple times, the first time was ten hours, the second time we were there for twenty-four hours! This man is nuts. I really do enjoy working with my dad though. He’s the hardest working person I know and he’s a good teacher, so I learn a lot. Yesterday was the last day, but I stayed home to finish my homework. I thought I’d congratulate my dad on a job well done by mowing the lawn. Good idea, I thought. About twenty minutes in, the mower stopped working, so I made him a pie instead. He said he liked plan B better anyway, so the congratulations worked!

Home for the Summer

So, plans have changed. Coming home I was a little nervous about my busy summer of condensed classes and camp all squeezed into a tiny amount of time. Well, my "before camp" class got cancelled and my only option was to take a class here in OK for the next two months. So, sadly, no camp for me. I am pretty bummed because Melissa, my good friend from Ozark, was going to work at Camp Cedar Falls with me this summer and we were going to have so much fun.

Cool "masks" we have, huh?

We haven't been together for more than a day since the summer after we graduated. I miss that girl! This could have been God's way of relieving me of the stressful summer I had planned. Now that I won't be working at camp, I will be taking an online religion course and I get to take elective classes that I will actually enjoy: Photoshop and Yoga. Plan B isn't too bad, but I will miss camp a lot. I'm hoping to find some sort of job, at least for the last two months of summer while I won't be taking classes. The little podunk diner down the hill is hiring, maybe I'll check that out. :)

I am still missing Ebeye a lot. I got to Skype Oronia, one of my students, today though. It was good to see her smiling face! I miss those kids. They will never know how they changed my life!
