Boomtown, Truckies and Donner Pass
You guys are sleeping, that is so bizarre and I've experienced God's PERFECT creation once again, sitting on the lake and just soaking it all up!Ya know, i felt weird about writing all that stuff last night, i actually stressed about what i'd written going to sleep - blah whatever...
What i wanna clarify is that these people here are so much fun and as much as it didn't sound (which i feel guilty for), they are the most welcoming and friendly people ever and even though, yes, Megan is crazy, i love her! She has an amazing voice as we found out last night sitting around the bonfire after i blogged here! So many great guitarists here too - Dirk, Lizz and Sahara - all VERY talented people! I am blessed to be surrounded by each person here!
Oh yea, what i didn't mention yesterday was that just outside of Reno was a place called Boomtown. That's where that massive sports store was - it was hectic!We also passed, along the way this place called Donner Pass - the most spectacular views i have ever seen. Like i said, snowcapped mountaintops and down beneath was crystal clear waters, sun reflecting off it and everything WOW!!!Then we stopped FOR GAS!!! ha! Gas! At this place called Truckies, cute lil stop over and i was tempted to buy a postcard coz they had all this Lake Tahoe stuff there! We didn't go to Lake Tahoe but i bet it's just as beautiful!
OH OH OH and teen camp?? We are definitely ROUGHING it! I went for a walk up there yesterday and checked it out again....our dining room is in two big screen tents, we do all our own cooking outdoors and there's a giant campfire. The showers have one drain so i'm guessing you just watch everyone elses body grime float past you hahaha....we also have a garden which Dirk and Jeff planted and the basketball court (for teen camp) is just one leveled dirt track thing, they're gonna put up a hoop! The cabins have three walls and lucky for teens, we have a fly screen as our other wall, but it'll be just like sleeping under the stars!!! It's all a little hard to explain but i'll put pictures up when i'm more settled!
Last night i slept soooooooo well in my new Walmart sleeping bag - oh wow, it's a walmart sleeping bag. Ok, let me just say that Walmart is so huge, we spent 40 minutes in there and we didn't even see a hint of that place!
Well anyway, i don't think there was much else to say but Erin, you're right, once we get started next week with the teens, i'm sure everything will be even better than it already is now! However, i'm actually REALLY looking forward to the start of our orientation, people here are telling me it's quite a bit of fun!
Casey, i can imagine you not understanding something but i am exactly the same, this morning was my third english lesson and as i type this here, i still don't understand what the kitchen dude was saying to me as i sat down to type this....i think i just said ummm, yea i dunno...hahaha... You're funny Casey?! Oh by the way, I MISS SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH!!!!! Why didn't i bring it, i fully want 'em to watch it!
