Oh my goodness time has flown by...
I haven't been in the mood for blogging lately and I think that is an okay thing. I figured it was time for an update as to what is going on with me...
This summer was amazing!
Camp was probably THE best summer out of the three that I have been at IMC. I feel honored to work with such wonderful, high-quality people year after year and it is such a wonderful family to belong to! Thank you to all who were a part of that this summer! I am already excited about going back next year
After IMC ended, Tim and I headed up to Winnipeg for a wonderful week hanging out with camp friends and exploring the area. It was the best vacation either one of us could ask for. Thanks to Tony, Kirsten and the kids for letting us stay in their basement for a week!!After our time in Winnipeg was up, we headed to Ely to meet with my family. Tim stayed for a few days and then headed home and I just got back home on Tuesday. It was good, but I am glad to be back and getting things lined up for this fall!
I start my student teaching in just a few weeks in Northfield and I feel ready to do that - to move to Northfield for most of the week and be back here for the weekends. Over the summer and especially in Winnipeg the rest of my life (aka after college) seems so around the corner, and I want to be ready to welcome it with open arms. Its a pretty awesome feeling!
Life is just so good, amazing and wonderful in so many ways, sometimes its hard to believe that parts of it could be wrong or not right. My sister is still struggling with her health - her attitude is amazing and I am just in awe of what she does every day. It seems like just when one medical issue is figured out and finally treated, three more pop up and get in the way. It is really frustrating and if you have any extra prayers - please send some her way. Some days can be much more tough than others...
But on a lighter note for her - she once again made it to the state fair in the performing arts catagory for 4-H!!! She is going to perform an original song and I am really excited to go and cheer her on! We had an awesome sister day on Thursday where we went to River Falls to visit Tim's kitties and had some surprise birthday parfaits that Tim made. It was pretty dang awesome. We head out on our camping trip for her birthday tomorrow and I am glad that she feels well enough to continue that tradition!
I think that is all for now - while I am excited about what is coming up for me in my life around the bend, I am enjoying every day that I have because I can. Strive for appreciating the small things - you might find that it changes your whole perspective on life.
Love you all and God bless,
Christine
