Bugs and bruises and SPOONS...OH MY!




Camp Brackenhurst is over...dun dun dun. But that means i have that much more things to share with you. Well, as i said i went to a home schooling conference ( i had a big problem with forgetting that everyone was home schooled, i kept asking everyone what school they went too...not a good conversation starter there!) It was a lot of fun and i met a lot of new people. i was really amazed at how many people were there and home schooled. Some people traveled 18 hours just to go to it. Any who, it was a bit like summer camp...ok it was absolutely nothing like summer camp accept that there were teens and we played spoons...once...and no one knew how to play nertz so that was retarded. Do we even play spoons at camp? i am getting off subject. It did have the atmosphere of camp especially when we went out in the woods. They had this huge rock wall outside in the middle of no mans land to climb ( i was the wimp who got two steps and froze...honestly i still can't figure out why, i have always been good with heights) and the normal things that you think of at an actual mountain camp! The mountain stuff. We played lots of games and hung out allot. Almost every person i met reminded me of someone! like in the picture with three people the girl on the left looked a lot like a mini Shaunna Purvis, and the girl in the middle looked a lot like Sarah Koser (only the oldest of you church goers will remember her) and the boy on the left was a lot like a mini Chris Ritchie (who knows maybe he knows 5 languages too?) Then the picture that looks like we are in the middle of a big bush, the girl at the right hand corner looked exactly like Kendra two years ago, braids and all! I am not doing very good at staying on subject. We had a lot of talks on our "Worldview" how we see the world and then i think one was on courtship and another on growing up in a home schooling family. to allot of those people they take this whole home schooling thing like a football player takes football, it ain't nottin' to play around with! But it was fun, i learned how to play Ultimate Frisbee...definitely one of the coolest games in the world...excluding "flashlight tag" (underground chur...cough cough) But it was fun....fun. all in all, i am really thankful for all of my friends there!!!!!!! meeting all of these stuckup...i mean really nice, people. REALLY. I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! and i am especially glad that when we get together we aren't all competing for "queen of the group"!!!! I really know i have the best friends ever (and i know people from all around the world so i know what i am saying ) and i miss you! thank you all for still keeping in contact with me! i love you and miss you! Talk to you soon!
