im back.

Hello peoples! I am baaaack!

Camp Tadmor was so much fun! I went to the lake every day during free time. I met great friends, and I even dated a tree for a couple hours and got engaged to a door frame... long story...

The pastor was awesome. He talked a lot about how to live like a christian. He talked about forgiveness, worship, and apathy. There was one night where all the counselors went to the front and you could go up and just pray with them. It was really cool. Everyone was crying. I got the opprotunity to talk to my counselor afterward, too, and that was really awesome.

I found a Bigfoot egg at camp. It hasn't hatched yet ;)

Wanna hear my embarrassing camp story?

So, there was this guy (let's call him Josh), and he was really nice. And he was funny. I didn't have a crush on him or anything, he was just a great guy. Anyway, the girls in my cabin said, "You totally like him." And i said "No!!!!" and they were like "Ya" and I jokingly and sarcastically said "He breathes so beautifully!!! Just kidding" And we all laughed.

Well... they told him that I said he "has beautiful breathing"... but they didn't tell him that I was joking.

Awkward.

So... very embarrassing.

So I guess I'll see you later!

im at another camp.

I left on Sunday, I'll get back on Friday!!!

This time, I do not have scheduled posts set up. I'm sorry :(

Well... THIS is a scheduled post, and so was my fair pictures post... but after that... none.

So, sorry. See you on Friday!

CAMP HARLOW IS ON SUNDAY!


did I mention that Camp Harlow is on SUNDAY?!

I love camp so much. I love eating...um...interesting food with all my new friends (scroll down to hear about the interesting food....). I love going to the pool. I love rock climbing with complete strangers. I love talking with counselors. I love walking into camp with no friends, and coming out with a ton. I love being in a new place for a whole week. I love the break from reality. I love hearing God's word taught by an awesome camp pastor.

And guess what's special about THIS YEAR?

These girls that I babysit.... they are adorable. Their Dad is going to be my camp pastor! I am so excited, 'cause he brings his family with him! That means I get to go swimming with the girlies!

This is going to be awesome.

By the way.... wanna hear the interesting food story?

So last year this girl I met and my BFF since preschool were discussing their passion for grilled cheese sandwiches (ok maybe not passion.....but something like that). It was lunch time, and we were walking to the cafeteria. Guess what was for lunch? Grilled cheese sandwiches! So the girlies were getting a little crazy with the food, and the cheese came right off the bread. Like, it just slipped off. Weird, right? So then, the cheese got rolled up into a ball. She dropped the cheese, and, get this--the cheese bounced. It bounced! Just like a bouncy ball (aren't bouncy balls awesome? That is, if they are not made out of cheese...).

We did not finish our sandwiches.

THE CHEESE BOUNCED PEOPLE! IT BOUNCED!

now I may be getting over dramatic here, but it bounced!

Ok... bye:)

school is ov-ah.

SCHOOL IS OVER!!!

AND THAT MEANS I AM AN OFFICIAL ....

8TH GRADER!

that. makes. me. so. happy. :)

So.........

Camp is in exactly one week! And this year the Dad of three girls I babysit is the Camp Pastor! I am suuuper excited:)

I tell everyone at camp that my name is Alex. SO.... if any of you meet a brunette girl named Alex at camp...

Ask her what her real name is;)

SEE YALL SOON! :)

cute hair ideas for this summer, part one.

When someone says, "Summer," I think, More time to experiment with hair and makeup!

One of my favorite blogs, Girls for God (a fashion blog by a Christian girl) always has cute summer fashion and hair ideas! I tried some out, and loved them! I'd like to show ya! (But I also have my own ideas, so this is going to take two posts. Be on the look out for part two!)

Know what Girls for God said? Toothpaste gets rid of zits!!! Gotta try that out... anyone with me?

Sorry. Getting side-tracked.

Another good hair blog is Bye Bye Beehive!

Anyway, here are some of my favorite ways to do my hair! This post will be more simpler ways to put up hair...
