My weekend!!

This weekend was our fifteenth year to do the Highland church family retreat. I took both Thursday and Friday off from work. I thought I was going to be leaving Thursday with my parents but it ended up not being the case. They had a lot going on in their lives and decided to leave on Friday. I found this out and decided to leave Thursday anyway and come down and see my grandma Thursday night and have dinner with her. It was a great night. We had a lot of fun and she really enjoyed me coming over to spend time with her.

Friday I slept in till 9:00. I remember when noon used to be sleeping in. Man I miss those days. Anyway I called my parents to see where they were and I found out that they were about 30 min from when I needed to be leaving to meet them at camp. I got up and ready. Then I packed my stuff and headed out. I really enjoy driving so I had a blast driving over to camp. I thought about the last few months of my life and then for some reason I thought about Job. He loved God so much and even when he hit his lowest of lows he still believed in God. I feel like my life has been shaken lately and I hit rock bottom a few weeks ago but I realized on this ride that my relationship with God has NEVER been better. I feel like some of this was his way of saying HELLO Don’t you remember me?!?!? Wake up! Well I am awake now. I am much happier and most of the stress in my life is gone!! :D YEA! Anyway then I got to camp and unloaded my stuff before my parents arrived and I helped them unload. We then headed to Leakey to meet my grandma for lunch. It was a great lunch. We waited on the food truck and it didn’t show up. We found out it might be awhile so we left. Then we came to camp and finished up stuff here and I went to the top to wait on the truck. I spent an hour on the top just waiting. He never showed. Then my dad and I switched places and finally we got a phone call and he showed up. :D Then my parents unloaded the food truck and I headed to Leakey to get dinner and sugar. Mom always forgets something and this time it was sugar. We checked people in and I went to bed! :D

Saturday I woke up took a shower and headed up to the dining hall. I helped some with breakfast. Then just walked around and talked. My parents went off to other places and I started the meeting. Then I went with the hikers over to the Hayby ranch to start the hike. Then I checked my e-mail and called Jordon to find out if we got tickets to the Jonahs brothers concert. We DID!! :D I am pumped! I can’t wait. It is going to be so much fun. Then I went back to camp. I just chilled most of the day. Some people from Hilcrest which is here staying in Singing Hills got lost on the hike and ended up here at our camp. I went with my parents back to Singing hills to drop them off. That was fun. It is really nice over there and we thought about getting together for worship in the morning but that never worked out. I played some botchee ball but quit when a child came up and wanted to play. I took a 20 min nap helped with dinner and just had some fun. I helped mom with the history of camp. Then I played some 42 shut down the dining hall and went to bed.

Sunday I got up and packed all my stuff up and then I went to eat breakfast. I told my parents that before church they had to have their stuff packed to I could clean our cabin. Then we headed to church. Church was only about 45 min. It was awesome. I had the cabin cleaned and packed by noon. We have to be out by one so that was good. The kitchen and everything else was also cleaned and pretty much packed by noon. We were done and waiting on the camp director to check us out. That doesn’t happen very often.

Overall it was a pretty awesome weekend. I think everyone had fun and got some time to socialize and relax.
