Diva Does Camp: Update

So sorry it's been such a long time since I blogged last! Things at Kanuga have been so crazy and hectic in the past few weeks. Here's a small rundown on everything that's been going on:
I was in charge of my first carnival and, typical of the mountains, it rained...thus moving us inside. Although extremely stressful, I think we pulled it off pretty well.
I was also in charge of my first Fun Run. For those who aren't aware what exactly a "Fun Run" is...it's pretty much the opposite of fun for the staff. It's when a big group of children aged 3-14 come and run a road race. Then, after they're finished, their counselors and directors corral them up in order to sign them out. It's pretty hectic to say the least. This summer, one of my main goals was to make it a little less chaotic and more organized for the directors and counselors. I'd like to say that I was successful in this goal, but we'll have to see what the parents think when their evaluations get finished and turned in.
This past week was the first week of Guest Period and I was so relieved to see the number of kids who not only I remembered, but those who remembered me as well. It was cool to think that I must have done something right last year that they remembered me. I even had a mom tell me that I looked like I had lost a bunch of weight since last year...thanks I think? Her two sons were some of my favorite, so I really have to take it as a compliment.
Chad came up last weekend for a visit and it was seriously so wonderful to be with him! We went on a hike and spent a lot of time together in the mountains. It was so nice to be together for a short time, but it made me miss him even more. It's hard to believe that we are about to be seniors in college...what a wild ride these past 3 years have been. Speaking of school, I've been working on Student Government a lot while at camp, and it's making me so so excited for orientation and this upcoming school year! (But that's another blog for another time)
I get to go home this weekend and I CANNOT WAIT! It's been more than a month since I've seen my family and all I want right now is a home cooked meal, a cold glass of wine, and some front/back porch sittin' with the best family around. I only have to make it through the next 4 days then it's Darlington bound!
The summer staff this year has been so phenomenal and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the girls I am blessed enough to call my hosuemates. We had a fourth of july party at the waterfront last week and it was seriously one of the greatest nights I've had in a long time! I'll include some pictures below to clue you in on the fun that was had by all.
I know that this is a random and eclectic list of things, but I have to catch you up somehow!
Also, if the ReChaco people are reading this...take care of my babies and get them back to me as soon as possible! You guys are awesome!!! (I sent my chacos in for a facelift along with a postcard and a link to my blog...if it's you guys, hope you aren't disappointed!)
