Finding Nemo

So I've been home exactly 2 months and 1 day from my adventure of a lifetime, and it still doesn't feel real. It doesn't feel real that I lived and ate and spoke with people from another country halfway around the world for 3 months. Sometimes I think I'm imagining it all up, that visiting the Acropolis and the Pyramids, and Jerusalem, and Rome was all just a beautiful dream and now I've woken up and am back where I've started.
But I know that's not true. I'm no longer the same person I was before I left. I have these photos and and emotions and amazing memories attached to these places and, more than that, I have a completely different view of the world.
And now I begin a new adventure.
It's not in a foreign country, and it's not really exotic (unless you consider 100+ degree weather a characteristic of exotic) but it gives me 3 months with the most precious kids in one of my favorite places in the world: Stevens Ranch.
Is it kind of lame to blog about being a counselor at a camp out in the middle of nowhere in small town called Nemo, Texas? Probably. I mean let's be real going from GREECE to anywhere is going to sound lame. But I miss writing and blogging. And I may not be traveling the world, but hey I've got time for that later ;) Right now I'm just excited to be here. I'm content. I get to work with some of my best friends I haven't seen in a year. My job is making kids happy. And nothing beats the Texas stars at night out here.

My babies for the week :)

I've been here 2 weeks already for admin week and then staff training week, but this week is our first for campers. It's the biggest group we've ever had, since one our sister camps closed down and they combined the two camps. CHECK IN WAS INSANE. But seeing their sweet eager sometimes-whiney-and-annoying-but-still-precious faces was perfect. This is definitely what I need right now. I am so blessed.
