Oh man. The last couple weeks have been so busy and I know the next couple aren't gonna be any different. That's okay, though. I like it better this way. Several interesting and exciting things have happened.
I went to church camp! I've been going to church camp since I was in the fourth grade, which is the youngest you can start at our church. I've never missed a year and it's always been one of my favorite parts about summer. This was my last year as a camper, and I probably won't get the chance to be a counselor for awhile, so it was bittersweet. But, overall, it was a fun week and I got tons closer to people that I was just kind of friends with before. One of the saddest parts about church camp was the last day, when I had to say bye to A-Pot for a whole five weeks! It's gonna kill me to have the sole other member of team cra missing for that long. ;)
When I got home from church camp, my mom was waiting with a huge bomb...we're moving. She had kind of hinted at that for awhile, but I really didn't want it to be true. You see, this is the last house that's going to be my house with my mom. And it's been a really good house. I've loved living here a lot, and I know she and Gabe have as well. So, anyway, it's all happened so fast. We're moving in a week. A week. It feels weird to know that when I pack up all the stuff in my room it's not gonna have another home until August. Maybe not even then, I'm sure there's some stuff that I won't be taking that will just be sitting in storage. It's gonna be an emotional experience for sure.
So, we've been working on packing, but also I've had 2 yard sales so far. I was initially planning on only having one big one, but as more and more people brought me stuff I knew there was no way that I was gonna be able to store it all...I guess it's my fault for having generous friends. ;) I've made quite a bit of money that way so far, but I still definitely have more to sell. I'll have maybe one more sale this summer, and then leave the rest of the stuff for my mom to have another sell with more of her stuff later on in the fall or something. There's so much that I'm sure there'll be some left over. I'm just excited for the look on the people who help us move face's when we open up our garage to load up. That'll be funny.
In the midst of all this packing and organizing, I got asked to baby sit every day this week. 9am-2pm. It's a good thing, I know. I'll be making money which will be nice but it just adds to me level of stress knowing that I'm gonna baby sit all day, which wears me out, and then come home and have huge tasks to do because our house has to go from completely unpacked and home like to a bunch of boxes in a matter of a week. It's frustrating, since I don't want to move to begin with, and now I have to stress about it. I know, it's a bad attitude, and I'm trying to make it better, I'm just bummed.
Everything will be alright, though. God has us in his hands and everything works out when we're using His timing. And I know both my mom and I have been praying for God to take care of this, so I know He is.
Finally, I'm still just waiting to hear back about my AIM application...I hate waiting and they notoriously take forever. I suppose I'll just have to wait on God's timing for this as well. So there's that.
It's 1:43 am so I'd probably better get to bed since I have to chase after two crazy kids tomorrow.
