This summer. I don't even know where to start. It has been more amazing in ways that I didn't think that it would be. At the beginning of this summer I made a bucket list. It went something like this...
- armadillo hunt.
- make a video of my summer.
- work on loping.
- saddle in less than 5 minutes.
- finish reading "life without limits".
1. This didn't get accomplished...mainly because I learned that sleep is a very valuable thing.
2. In a way I did this one. I'm working on making a music video of us singing songs around the campfire, but I didn't make one of the whole summer.
3. I did this some...not as much as I would've liked to but I did it.
4. I didn't actually time myself on this one, but I'm pretty sure that I can now.
5. I didn't have time to read hardly anything this summer, not even facebook.
But you know what? I'm okay with this because I did things that I wouldn't have thought to put on a bucket list. Like...
- Have a fully clothed staff swim party
- Go "mud-riding" in a golf cart
- Go on a night horse ride
- Have a large camp-wide dance party
- Have a staff movie night
- Become a superhero (at least in a funny skit)
- See two little girls that I know come to know the Lord
- Use a chainsaw like tool to cut limbs on trails
- Spend the weekend with my cousin
- Take pictures in a photobooth with a friend
On a different note. I learned so many things this summer. Things that I didn't think that I would.
- There is more than one way to be encouraging.
- You can tell how much someone loves you by the way they correct you.
- There is a time to speak and I time to listen.
- Pick your battles.
- Chapel decorations can't stay up forever.

- When plans change...go with it.
- God does indeed have a sense of humor.
- Prayer is a very powerful thing.
- Never be too hard on yourself.
- Relationships are one of the most important things in life so take care of them.
- and you will never know how much you love someone until you have to say goodbye.

I have become so close to so many people this summer! I can't wait to see what God has in store for this coming school year and next summer!
