Big news!!!

My peace corps account has been updated and they are finished with my medical! Which means I most likely passed! I'm just waiting now to hear more information. Hopefully I'll have things in the mail soon!

Goodness gracious

my sleep schedule is so off right now!

This summer has been immensely busy! I think since I can't sleep now may be a good time for an update :)

Camp Lotsafun: I was a camp counselor at a camp for people with special needs for a week. I was paired with a teenage boy with MR and ADHD. He certainly was a handful but I enjoyed every minute (even if I was pulling my hair out at certain times). It was a great experience and I'm so excited to go back for another round next week. I will be working with girls this time though, so we'll see how that goes!

Las Vegas: Holly P and Kyle went down to Vegas to stay at Kyle's dad's house for a while and invited me to go along. I have never really had the over 21 experience in Vegas before and it was quite fun, if not a bit crazy! Holly had been to Vegas recently and knew a really good place for sandwiches. They were delicious. And we shared a berry crepe after. And the house had a pool which we spent a large amount of time in. It was a very relaxing trip and I'm very grateful Holly and Kyle brought me along.

Elko/Jarbidge: After Vegas my brother Jake and I headed to Elko to hang out with our cousins. It was a fun trip and it was really good to see Heather (and her bunS in her oven! I say buns plural because Jake and I are betting on twins!) and Ashley. Then we drove the rest of the way up into Jarbidge where we met my dad and Tami. I gotta say, Jarbidge is one of my favorite places in the whole world. It is so secluded and just naturally beautiful. We went on quad rides everyday, which is another reason why I enjoy Jarbidge so much. I wish it weren't so far away, I'd love to get up there more often. There is rumor of going up to see my niece for her 1st birthday which is very close to Jarbidge so hopefully!

This summer has been a whirlwind of adventures. I have hardly worked this summer but I think I deserved a break after finally finishing college. As soon as I get back from camp next week I'll start subbing as much as possible and going back to being a responsible adult.

Peace Corps update: I got my dental clearance!!!!! Woot! They requested a few more things for my medical which I'm waiting on my doctor to get back to me but then that will hopefully be all taken care of as well! I still have about 6 months until my estimated departure time but I have a feeling that is going to fly by.
