Weekend Adventures!

This past weekend at home has been absolutely fantastic so I thought I'd update my blog with a little summary of it! So Friday I left camp around 2:30 and made the drive home to get ready for Justin and Summer's wedding. I unfortunately missed the first half of the bachelorette party so I went straight to the church to hang out during the rehearsal. That was exciting because I got to see some of my best friends who I hadn't seen in at least a month, but annoying because everyone was stressed and tension was high. After the rehearsal was over, all the girls left for the second half of the bachelorette party. We went and had dinner at La Fogatas, which was on my list of the 3 places on the OBX I had to go to this weekend, and then we went to Gear Works, the laser tag place on the beach. Now, I've never been laser tagging before, so this was definitely an experience, but I loved it and I'm definitely going again sometime! We also took a break to go over to Dunkin Donuts which was nice too. We left around 10:30 and went home to catch some sleep.

Saturday morning me and Olivia had planned to either go to the beach or go out in the boat. Neither one of these happened because 1. The sound was too rough to take the boat out and 2. We were already going to the beach Sunday so instead we went down to the semi new TJ Maxx in Nags Head. All I have to say about that adventure is we spent way too much money in there. I then went back to my old house and got ready for the wedding with my brother and sister. The wedding was a lot of fun and I'm soooo happy for Justin and Summer! Congrats you guys! I unfortunately had to leave early to take my brother and sister to Moyock to go to my dad's house and then had to take Halie, my brother's girlfriend, home. I then went home and went to bed.

Sunday I got up and went to church. It was the first time in a while that I had been to my home church so it was nice being there and seeing everyone. Afterwards, me and Olivia jetted home to change into our bathing suits and then headed off for lunch at Five Guys. I must say, I really do not miss beach traffic at all. We were both starving and it took us forever to get there. Oh well, I'm just glad we eventually made it because that marked off my second thing on the list of places to go on the OBX. Five Guys is my recent food obsession, which is probably not good because that means consuming greasy burgers and fries, but they are amazing. But anyways, after eating there we went to the beach. It was crazy hot and the water was freezing, but we managed to force ourselves to stay for about two hours before we got sick of it and headed off to Ritas. There goes the 3rd and final place on my list to visit this weekend. After we ate there, we then ran over to Red Box and ended up renting four movies; The Bounty Hunter, I Hate Valentines Day, Remember Me, and The Blind Side. We ended up only watching the first two so we wasted our money on the last two but oh well. The Bounty Hunter was hilarious, I would recommend it to anyone...I Hate Valentines had potential, it was just predictable and insanely cheesy. Not to mention the acting was horrible and made a lot of the scenes awkward and forced. It still provided a good laugh just because it was so bad, so I actually would recommend seeing that one too if you're looking for something comedic.

And as for today, my last day of the weekend...this was my lazy day. I woke up realllyyyy late and so far haven't done very much. Me and my favorite doggy, Bridgette, had some quiet time in the living room for a little while....and I've done a little laundry and made lunch, but that's about it. Here soon I'm going to have to get up and get stuff ready to go back to camp though. I might make a run down to the beach and go see everyone in Harris Teeter as well, but I'm not sure yet.

Ok, that's the end of my weekend adventures. I'm even more excited for next weekend though! It's going to be a good one :)

No Stress, No Stress, No Stress

I'm updating again so soon! Yay! Maybe I'm learning to not neglect my blog...maybe. I'm also blogging from a blogger app I just put on my phone so we'll see how this goes. I'm so tired right now, but it'll officially be my birthday in about 45 minutes and my mom likes to try and wake me up at midnight to tell me happy birthday...so I'm just staying awake haha. This is going to be a fairly short post, but I wanted to give an update about my last post. I finally have some plans made for when summer comes to an end. I'm not going to be specific about what those plans are until I have a chance to personally tell a few of the people I'm closest to, but just know it's an awesome opportunity and I'm so excited to get it underway. Life is finally giving me a break in pretty much everyway, especially in those that I've been struggling with a good amount over the past two years. I think this is the first time in a very long time that I haven't been crazily stressed and just been truly happy. It's such a great feeling! but anyways...this is the end of my post, in about 30 minutes I will no longer be a teenager. whoa, crazy...

Long overdue update

My blog has become a pure disappointment, I rarely have time to update it. I haven't made a single update since camp started and I've been here for well over a month now. Camp has been a little crazy, but fun. My day generally consists of getting up 20 minutes before I have to meet the kids either at the house or at breakfast, having breakfast, doing something with them until lunch time which is normally watching tv, their nap time after lunch, hang out until canteen, pool time after canteen, dinner, and then relaxing at their house until their bedtime/2nd canteen is done and then being off to either hang out with campers or go to bed. It varies a little each week as the camp schedule is always different and things like that, but that's the general idea of how I spend my day. I've met quite a few awesome people which is always good. The camp staff last week was an amazing group of people. Maybe it was because they were a small group and everyone knew everyone, but I loved hanging out with all of them and getting to know them, I wish they would all just come back and stay the whole summer. I've been spending my time off from Friday around 7pm-Sunday after church doing a few different things. I've spent a few weekends in va beach with my sister, a couple of weekends at home, and one Saturday night with a friend from high school. It's funny but I actually dread the weekends I have to go home. This time last summer, I had just moved back to Currituck and was so happy b.c I missed it so much. It made me think that it was just a place I'd have to stay in forever, but my life and heart are def in a different place than they were then. I've been away for almost a month and 1/2 and have only been home two weekends and hated it. Currituck just doesn't feel like home anymore. I want to get out and do something else. I don't want to go too far away, because all of my friends are in that area, but I want a permanent out. Not really sure yet what life is going to bring once this summer is over, but I'm working on it and I'm ready to see God make some big changes in it.
