Alright, though delayed, here's the post you've been begging me for. Sorry, but I haven't been on blog recently so...
Anyway, here it is.
So what can I write that hasn't been said, what can I think that hasn't been thought? Should I go on about how Camp is amazing like everyone else, or can I think a though of my own? For me, Camp Hope seems to almost capsulate and capture my life, no, not my life, but the way I think of life, or perhaps the way I live it, I don't know.
When we're doing something so amazing and enjoyable, like singing in Chapel, or playing volleyball while dusk is falling and all you can see is sand in the air, and your eyes are hurting but you don't really care. Like when me and Elizabeth leaned over to talk to each other in our bunk beds and have our own "emotional devotional", while we're really just talking about things that some could say don't really matter. Or when Katie and I walked down to chapel together, and when I showed Nathan the horses, or when I chased Sam around the soccer field. Or when we drove up to Goat's Peak singing when I really didn't want to sing, or when we finally reached the top of the mountain and you were left to view the incredible glory of God's creation. Those moments, which seem even more precious when you think back to them make me remember and think back to other moments of my life, not just Camp Hope, but moments that have happened all through my life.
I will normally think about all those things, and come close to tears and laugh at the same time. I always come to one conclusion. I am soo blessed!

Here, here Michaela.
Thanks for visiting.
Wow, that sounded really pathetic, oh, and do you know if Kacy is still on vacation?
I know I know!!!
she's back.
this is her other half speaking, but I saw her not too long ago. she was carrying a golf bag full of clubs around on a three mile walk for some crazy reason - yeah. don't look at me. I think now she is finding out which way of laying down is least painful...
(yeah, you know this post just wouldn't be me without those dot-dot-dots!)
Michaela, that hardly sounds like you. I mean sort
of, but not all the way. And it isn't pathetic.
I totally agree about how the more you look back & think about stuff like camp the more special the memories become. There's been so many things that have happened this summer that I feel that way about.
What hardly sounds like me, Beth, my post, or my comment?
I just noticed that almost everyone of my comments ends with an ellipsis.
yeah...
Your post. I mean it does, but some of it doesn't. I think it may be because it is well written, but I don't really know so . . .
boy. you think my post is so well written, it doesn't even sound like me?
What does that say about me?
*sighs* oh dear, oh dear...
ah, sisters.
I know, did you know I feel sorry for you that you don't have any sisters (or brothers)?
I love mine so much, I can't imagine not having siblings, anyway...
I'm with you on that one. Just wait till you and them start moving out!! *sobs* I have THREE BROTHERS!! And I haven't seen one of them in close to a year! *sniffs* By the time I do get to see him again it will be almost exactly one year. I miss him... a lot.
I just realized I've been a real damp clothe lately. sorry!
No you haven't, don't worry about it!
No, I agree that you haven't.
And I have an adopted brother! (two, if you count Ben, but I don't really count Ben...that was only for paging)
And I had an exchange student who was as close to a sister as I'll EVER get. I like being an only child, so please don't feel sorry for me! I have so many really close friends!!! You see, I absolutely forbid you to feel sorry for me.
Michaela, I would respectfully suggest a new post...
No kidding.
That last comment was by Beth.
Beth, make sure you are on your account next time.
I'll write a new post, just give me a year or two, JK.
I have three adopted brothers (one of which actually doesn't know I adopted him, but eh).
well, okay, if Ben doesn't count...
why were we talking about this?
never mind.
I have three adopted sisters....
and Senator Unprounceable last name, whatever happened to me and Em and Lindy as your sisters, hmmmm?
How is it I only have one comment on here? Well. . . now two.
Sisters!! Don't you love em?! You know what? It's OK for Kacy to not have any sisters. I don't feel sorry for her because God made her family just the way He wanted, without siblings. Me, I don't know what I would be like without siblings, God gave me plenty, just the way He wanted. Isn't that awesome?
ok, that's how we're related!!! so...now we're quadruplets!!! that's so AWESOME!!!!!!
And you know what Sen. you are. yes, there is sombody, and his name begins with an F! (no, it's NOT Ferrers.)
"And I believe I know what key you will sing in: F Major *cracks up*
never mind. where are all my Jane Austen homies?
oooh! oooh! i'll be part of the jane austen homie troop.
(until the last half hour. then i'll fall asleep)
Jane Austen! Yes!!
I don't think we are going to get Sam to like a nice, fulfilling ending. Where everybody lives happily ever after.
By the way, has anybody seen High School Musical? The second one is premiering on the Disney Channel the 17th, at 8. (FYI)
Okay, think are a little quiet, here at home. I had better go find everyone, make sure everything is doing fine.
