So, Homeschool camp. I know, just by saying those two words, I've already gotten at least one of you to laugh. Odds are, that person could be Michael Bainbridge. Either way, I could care less. Because it's SUCH a blast! I haven't had so much fun in a long time! Every day was fun packed, it was amazing. I even took an HOUR AND THREE MINUTE SHOWER. AND THE HOT WATER DIDN'T DIE. Well. Nate, Justin and I did. We had trunks on, no worries. And we were in our separate showers most of the time, but at the end we sprayed all the showers towards the middle and stood there. It was epic. The whole week was wonderful.
I'll miss the seniors though. Nate, Justin, Aaron, and Anthony. I was finding it sad the other day that, the two people I hung out with the most this year are the two people who won't be here next year. Sad stuff. But next year will still be a blast. Cause I had so many other awesome friends there as well! Goodness. Lap tag was a pain, but so amazingly worth it! I actually got sun burnt! But not to bad, and most of it turned into tan! It was all so great. And most importantly, the God stuff? Was good! Albeit, the worship was hard to hear, and the meetings/videos weren't the world's greatest, it was still awesome! Singing by the camp fire was so empowering, even though it was quite and such, and I actually got a compliment on my voice afterwards! :) So that was nice. And the talks the seniors gave were great! Short mostly, and to the point, but good stuff :) I think my favourite thing however was when Jim Bell talked about obstacles and things. And how God pushes them all aside. I don't even remember exactly what it was, but that speech more than anything moved me/gave me goosebumps, so it was a great feeling. And something I had been struggling with, pushing through obstacles. So I'm pressin on now!
It got me thinking about next year. I'm gonna be a senior next year... I'm gonna have to be the one leaving all these wonderful people. It'll be so sad! I kinda want to do a speech though. And I want to do it on love. I have it all planned out too! I won't spoil it though, in case it actually happens. Either way though, I can't wait till next year. I think the seniors all sort of lead everybody this year and encouraged them all, even if they didn't quite notice, and I hope to be able to do that next year :)
Man oh man. And that's not even the reason I opened this blog! Come to think of it, I'm not really sure why I did. I'm sitting up here at 2:20 AM(goodness!) Doug and Matt are asleep in the basement, Kasey has been quiet on facebook, and Stacey has been quiet on AIM, so I feel somewhat alone at the moment. But it's nice. I feel giddy. I don't know why. Not an hour ago, I was ready to smack my face into the table. But I feel good. I think talking to those two is always a great thing. Kasey's such an awesome person; she's like the most cheery person I know, and I can't help being happy talking to her; it's infectious or something! :) And there's always laughing and smiles during our conversations! And Stacey, well. We have such awesome deep talks. And I get to help her with her book! :) What more could you ask for in two great friends?
I realise I totally neglected Matt and Doug in that last bit. Well, they're awesome! We have good times. There's a lot to be said! They're like my brothers. Well, one is. The other basically is. I dunno. They're great.
Anyway, I think I'm going to head to bed. Goodness, this post is probably the fastest post I've written, and the easiest to write too! Goodnight! Stacey, get better!

I'm so glad homeschool camp was such a blessing to you. I'm also glad you got to be home on the night before your birthday so we got to go out and celebrate like our tradition, this year!
You are going to have a fantastic senior year and be a leader with the heart of Jesus, because that is just the cool type of guy you are.
