...again, better late than never! haha

Hey again guys and gals,

I just can't ever seem to remember when I'm supposed to post on this thing, but here goes it:

Since the last post, I have continued with my lovely job at the daycare at my church. The kids are getting crazier, but I'm learning to get more strict, so by the end of the day, everyone is happy! Some fun quotes from the kids at daycare (inspiration from Melissa Robinson's facebook posts about her camp kids) : "Polar bears are from Africa!!!" "You go to UNC, I never knew that!" "Why in the world are we watching a stupid Christmas movie in the middle of July?!?!?!?(in reference to a spongebob christmas special a kid brought in for movie time one day)" That's all I can think of for now, but I have truly been blessed with lessons of patience, laughter, and friendship through my summer job! :)

I also got to take a wonderful road trip to St. Petersburg, Florida for my family reunion! It wasn't the same with Aunt Sarah (my Nana's aunt, the former matriarch of the Davis family), she passed away during this past winter. Her spirit was still there though, and it was tons of fun getting to see all of my cousins and swim in the Gulf of Mexico, without getting stung by a jellyfish! (jellyfish story is a long one for another time...lol) I had a blast, and hit a new record of total time jogging while I was there!!! Yay for progress, haha! On the way down, we stopped in Savannah, GA where I got to see Forrest Gump (impersonnator) but more importantly, JOHN WESLEY's statue!!! I literally jump up and down with excitement!!! My love of the Wesley tradition is deep-rooted, I guess. Savannah was gorgeous! The 12 hour drive on the way home was a lot less entertaining!!! Overall it was a fantastic trip! Can't wait for the next reunion! :)

My family is gearing up for my church's 158th annual camp meeting! It's a whole week of services in our outdoor arbor, with a night of music and homemade ice cream on Saturday the 30th. My family has stayed in the "tents" (cinder block rooms built a very long time ago) for many years, and we cleaned it out and set it up for next week. Although I am dreading the heat, it will be a great time to catch up with all of our fellow campers, and church members that only come back for this week of revival, worship, food, and tradition. The tradition is palpable during camp meeting. I'm super excited!!!! Any and all of you are invited to any of the services if you happen to be nearby! Just shoot me and email or facebook for directions and times!!!

One recent frustration I endured was that my piece of crap CCI laptop had a glich that require me to either ship it to ITS, or bring it in myself. Well, this irritating computer problem turned into a great excuse for me to visit Wesley!!! By Wesley, I mean Madicella and Karen!!!! YAY!!! I had a great night of finally being able to use my computer, and some good "Chapel Hill food" as I have dubbed B'ski's and YoPo!

I am so excited to be back for the fall!!! Can't wait to see you all and be the crazy busy Week Of Welcome fanatic that I am!!! See you all in less than a month!!! :)
