Happy Fourth of July!

Hey! Sorry for not posting in a while. I have been working at a Girl Scout camp since June 3 and we have very little electricity and almost no Internet connection there. I have been enjoying a nice 3 day break for July 4th and I will be returning to camp tomorrow. I will be getting a group of girls specializing in scuba diving. This group will also have my sister in it. I'm hoping I can treat her just like my other campers!

Well a few things have been happening since my last post.

My sister Lacy got confirmed. I am so proud of her! She had to memorize verses and answer questions by the pastor. She has worked very hard and now she has done it!
Congratulations Lacy!

A couple things have been happening at camp that is not really desirable. I was denied soft foods. The camp director said that I had to provide my own food for myself. My first group of campers had five girls and out of the five three got sick. They were a good bunch of girls however and I already miss them! I did get certified in Lifeguarding so I am pretty excited about being a Lifeguard at the waterfront. Shante' is a friend of mine working with me at camp and she is such a support for me there. She has been helping me work through my pain and give these girls an awesome camping experience.

In one of my previous posts I said that I changed my major. Well... I did it again. This time I hope its for good. I got accepted into the Elementary Education program! So now all I have to do is take the classes and of course pass them.

Last night I spent about four hours in the ER. I am still having joint pain (a lot in my hands), getting rashes on my hands and arms, feeling really fatigued, and I'm just not feeling right. My mom is thinking Lupus. I'm thinking Lyme Disease. The doctor last night was thinking Mono or atypical Pneumonia. But I am back home and going back to camp until the Lyme test comes back and until I can see a rheumatologist.

Happy Fourth of July! I hope you enjoy this day and get to see the celebratory fireworks!
