These last few days have been very interesting and wonderful. I registered with another temp agency which seems like it may have some more possibilities than the other one I registered with. They called me on Friday with an offer for a job, but it was $12/hour working in downtown Atlanta, 25 miles from my house--in rush hour traffic?? I don't think so! I'd spend so much of that in gas! And an hour and a half commute? Never again. I'd rather go work at Sam's Club!
Friday I went to work at the Pre-School where my roommate works. Her teaching assistant was out of town, and they were desperate for someone to come so they hired me for a day. It was SOOOO much fun! They kids were so cute and so smart! I taught one girl named Stephanie how to catch a ball. She was so excited that she could do it! The kids all had to be my friend and were telling me how much they loved me after only a couple of hours. Kids are so much fun, aren't they?
Friday night some friends and I went camping. It wasn't actually last minute, we planned several days in advance!! When we arrived at the planned destination however, they told us they had no available campsites!! But they did tell us about another campground which had availability and it ended up being cheaper. All 5 of us got onto one campsite which was right on Lake Lanier, and it had a small bluff where we pitched our tents. They had small tent pads, but we didn't want to be so squished. When we got there the sun was setting and it was so beautiful that we decided to set up the tents later in the dark and go take a walk on the beach and enjoy the sunset.
The sunset was so pretty over the lake!! We also decided to see if we could get a good group picture. After several tries, this is what we ended up with:
The next morning I was able to get a picture of the lovely setup of our campsite:
We had so much fun! It was such a nice break to go camping, even for one night. It got cold, but we all managed to stay warm in our beds. I love camping. I just love being in the outdoors! Some of my fondest memories are of camping.
And last piece of news, but certainly not least, I got a letter from Joe yesterday! He is doing very well. He LOVES the MTC. He says he doesn't have a lot of people writing him so I'm supposed to keep it up! I felt a little bad then since I didn't write him at all this week as I was taking a break. I can't believe he's already been gone for 2 1/2 weeks! It's such a short amount of time, but it feels like he's been gone forever. I love him so much, and of course I miss him, but he is exactly where he needs to be right now, and so am I.

I really love reading your blog. I know I can't talk to you every day, but it helps me to somehow feel closer to you...like I do talk to you every day. I like to read up on what you've been doing and how you are feeling. I love you...and I miss you much.
Hurray! She's back! So you ended up not borrowing the twin mattress, huh? Did you buy your own? We'll be seeing you soon! :D
